In a surprising revelation, popular Hollywood actress Saoirse Ronan shared that she had secretly auditioned for a role in the beloved Harry Potter franchise when she was a young girl. Despite becoming a household name at a young age through her critically acclaimed performance in Atonement, Ronan was rejected from the wizarding world, something that has stayed with her over the years.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 30-year-old actress opened up about her experience. When asked about any roles that she regrets turning down, Ronan shared that she didn't actually turn this one down, but rather didn't get the part. She explained that she had auditioned for the role of Luna Lovegood, a quirky and lovable character in the franchise. However, she was deemed too young for the role and ultimately lost out to Evanna Lynch.
Despite not getting the part, Ronan fondly remembers the experience of auditioning for the hugely popular franchise. She described it as "the coolest thing ever" and shared that she got to read a scene from the film. Additionally, as the character was Irish, they had auditioned many Irish actors for the role, making it a memorable experience for Ronan.
Interestingly, 2007 was a big year for Ronan as both the Harry Potter franchise and Atonement were released. While she may have missed out on one opportunity, she made a big impact with her performance in the latter, earning herself an Oscar nomination at just 13 years old.
Despite not getting the chance to attend Hogwarts, Ronan has her sights set on another iconic film franchise. In a recent interview, she expressed her desire to play a villain in a James Bond movie, stating that she would love to do something "big and shiny." With Daniel Craig stepping down as Bond, speculations have been rife about who will take over the iconic role, and Ronan's name has now been added to the mix.
It's clear that Ronan is a talented actress with a bright future ahead of her. Whether or not she gets to play a villain in a James Bond movie, one thing is for sure – she will continue to captivate audiences with her performances on the big screen.
