“I did everything I could,” said Scarlett Johansson of her loss of the brutal Oscar-winning role to Anne Hathaway, which necessitated losing over 25 pounds while adhering to a punishing porridge diet

There is no doubt that Scarlett Johansson is one of the most talented and versatile actresses in Hollywood. Starting out as a đ˜€đ˜©đ˜Șđ˜­đ˜„ artist, she has captivated the audience with a range of incredible performances. Apart from acting, she is also known to be an incredible singer, having starred in several musicals and releasing an album in 2008. While her fans love her signature husky voice, it has also been the reason she lost several opportunities early in her career.

Scarlett Johansson Failed Her Les Misérables Audition

The 2012 musical drama Les Misérables follows a former prisoner Jean Valjean, trying to build a new life for himself when he encounters Fantine and vows to take care of her daughter. The story follows the struggles and redemption of various characters, including Fantine, a mother, and struggling factory worker, portrayed splendidly by Anne Hathaway.

However, the role almost went to the Marvel star Scarlett Johansson as she also auditioned for the character. During an interview with Broadway.com, she revealed that she sang her heart out during the audition, but lost it as she “auditioned with laryngitis.”

“I did everything I could to, like, not have laryngitis,” she shared. However, she still missed out on the role and it eventually went to The Princess Diary star Anne Hathaway. Laryngitis is a flu that causes huskiness in voice and difficulty in speaking.

While she lost the role due to the huskiness in her voice, she has also said that no other actor could top Hathaway’s performance in the movie. “There’s no possible way I ever could have topped that performance [by Anne Hathaway]. It was perfect,” she stated further during the interview.

It was one of the biggest disadvantages for the actress every time she went in for an audition.

Along with her gorgeous and s*xy looks, the actress also has a “trademark husky voice,” which makes her stand out in the crowd.
