"It was probably between Rachel and Britney at the time." Spears was so good in fact that she was brought in for the last day of auditions to read with Gosling along with six other actresses, including Jaime King, Jennifer Love Hewitt and, of course, Rachel McAdams. "So I said, 'OK, come work with me and my partner.' And she came in eight hours, two days in a row and worked with us.

"At the height of her career she was like, ‘I want to be really prepared for this,'" Barry recalled of working with Spears, who had just made her movie debut in Crossroads. One of the lead contenders for Allie was the biggest pop star in the world, who also had experience working with Gosling when they were on The Mickey Mouse Club as children. "They were on the verge of probably not doing the movie and they were just like, 'Find us somebody special!'"
"What happened was he had gotten Ryan and didn't need necessarily a 'name,' but they gave us a week to find somebody," Barry recalled. "And I saw the first day's dailies and she was awful and I was like, 'F-k.' And then she settled in."Īfter finding their Noah in Ryan Gosling, the "pressure was on" to cast the movie's female lead, said Barry, leading to a cross-country search. "Well, it was funny because after the first day of shooting, Nick called me and was like, 'This is a disaster,'" Barry said. But during the casting process for the iconic 2004 movie, Gosling was pushing hard for another actress to be the Allie to his Noah.Īnd that's just one surprising bombshell casting director Matthew Barry dropped during a recent phone interview with E! News, along with sharing new details about Britney Spears' "fantastic" audition.ĭespite the obvious allure of the pop princess, he noted that the chemistry between Gosling and McAdams was "immediate." Though Barry admitted director Nick Cassavetes had concerns early on about his leads clashing on-set.

Not for today, or next week, but forever. But the reality is that, like, he’s the reason I have everything I have."But I want you. I feel like I was very quick to distance myself from him when I started making more serious films. “Just, like, the guy that was putting on Hammer pants and dancing at the mall and smelling like Drakkar Noir and Aqua Net-ing bangs. “There’s something about this Ken that really, I think, relates to that version of myself,” Gosling said.

Playing Ken in “Barbie” marks somewhat of a full circle moment for Gosling, as the role appeals more to that “kid dressed up as a hamster” from “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” than it does to Gosling’s Oscar-nominated work in indie film. But it was all a great experience in a way because it helped me figure out what I wasn’t going to be good at. It’s why I didn’t work - it was like, they dressed me up as a hamster or put me in the background of someone’s song. I certainly wasn’t a child prodigy,” Gosling said. Perhaps Gosling doubted his top-billing capabilities at first because he was forced to realize he wasn’t a child prodigy as a cast member on Disney’s “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club,” which co-starred eventual pop phenoms Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Whether Nick Cassavetes was right about Gosling’s leading man qualities is now besides the point, as “The Notebook” cemented Gosling as a movie star and led to a career full of leading roles. “ straight up told me: ‘The fact that you have no natural leading man qualities is why I want you to be my leading man,'” Gosling revealed.
