“Emma Stone and I had this conversation once because we always used to do the ‘castings’ for the same thing, which is stupid because our careers are different.” 

“She got something that I was dying for, but the thing that really killed me, the only time I’ve ever been really devastated about losing a casting, because most of the time you think, ‘Well, it was something that wasn’t meant to be. Move on. What can you do?’ was Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.”

The 32-year-old actress also revealed that she missed her chance to lead in Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s Twilight series, but she was more bothered by Disney’s first live-action film. She said,

“I didn’t know what it was really like. When you’re casting as a regular actor and we’re all auditioning for this kind of thing, they just give you five pages and say, ‘Act, monkey! When it came out, I thought, ‘Holy sh*t.'”

Alice in Wonderland is available on Apple TV and YouTube.
