J.Lo's 'Evita' Heartbreak! Madonna Snags Role After Epic Audition
Jennifer Lopez recently revealed a surprising detail about her early career: she auditioned for the lead role in the 1996 film adaptation of the musical 'Evita,' only to discover that Madonna had already secured the part.
During a Q&A following a screening of her new movie musical, 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' Lopez recounted the experience. "I went to audition for 'Evita' for [director] Alan Parker," she said. "I had been practicing for weeks and I sing my heart out and he goes, ‘You’re amazing. You know Madonna has the part, right?’”
Lopez's story highlights the competitive nature of Hollywood and the often-unseen battles actors face behind the scenes. Despite the initial disappointment, J.Lo's career has flourished, and she's now starring in her own movie musical. 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past January and is set to release in theaters on October 10th.
In related news, J.Lo has been spotted showcasing her unique fashion sense while promoting 'Kiss of the Spider Woman.' At a recent event, she wore a striking walnut-colored suit set from Harithand, accessorized with a romantic ruffled top and a dazzling silver Himalayan crocodile Hermès Birkin bag.
