Hollywood sensation Robert Downey Jr, known for his role as Iron Man in Marvel movies, has recently recalled the incident of auditioning for The Holiday movie.
Robert Downey Jr shared that he and Jimmy Fallon auditioned for a 2006 romantic movie role but didn't get the role.
The Iron Man actor appeared on The Howard Stern Show, which is hosted by Jimmy Fallon and they revealed that they auditioned for the roles of Jude Law and Jack Black in the movie.
While recalling the incident of auditioning for the 2006s Nancy Meyer movie, Robert said, "We both got called in just as seat fillers. Jude Law was chosen for my part and Jack Black got his role but they needed someone to read with the actresses and we were like, 'this is our chance'."
Robert revealed that they were both playfully mocked by Kate Winslet for their English accent. Recalling the incident he shared that he wanted to have a better accent than Jude Law and even started working on it. But during the audition, Winslet didn't shy from calling his accent "the worst British accent he has ever heard".
Jimmy Fallon also shared his experience stating that he was like if Jack Black quit the film he would be in and was ready to do it for half of Jack's price. He revealed that auditioning for The Holiday was the last time he had given an audition. He quit his acting career and went on to host The Tonight Show.
Fallon also hailed Robert Downey Jr as the best actor he has worked with.
