Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about the real reason she lost Sharon Tate’s role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once upon a time in Hollywood.
Speaking on the podcast Happy sad confusedthe Oscar-winning actress recalled that Tarantino expressed interest in working with her on the 2019 film. However, the film later starred Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate.
Now Lawrence has opened up about what was behind her losing the role. She recalled seeing comments suggesting she was “not pretty enough” to play Tate.
She said: “And then everyone said, ‘She’s not pretty enough to play Sharon Tate.’ And then they didn’t.”
Lawrence revealed that the negative reaction online may have stopped the project from moving forward. Although she’s not entirely sure if the story has grown in her own mind over time.
“I’m pretty sure it’s true. Or it’s that thing where I’ve been telling the story this way for so long that I believe it. No, but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened. Or he just never considered me for the role, and the internet did everything it could to call me ugly,” the No Hard Feelings actress noted.
On the other hand, Jennifer Lawrence also revealed that she was offered Quentin Tarantino’s The hateful eight (2015), which went to Jennifer Jason Leigh.
‘I turned it down. I shouldn’t have done that [that]”, she admitted.
