The pop star has said she’s ‘glad’ to have lost the role of Allie in the 2004 romantic drama to Rachel McAdams.
Last week, in an excerpt from her new memoir, The Woman in Me, out on October 24, Spears confirmed that she auditioned for The Notebook’s lead and was one of the final two contenders for the part. “The Notebook casting came down to me and Rachel McAdams, and even though it would have been fun to reconnect with Ryan Gosling after our time on the Mickey Mouse Club, I’m glad I didn’t do it,” Spears writes in an excerpt from the book published by People.
In her book, Spears cited 2002’s Crossroads, her first and only foray on the big screen, as an immersive process. “The experience wasn’t easy for me,” she writes. “My problem wasn’t with anyone involved in the production but with what acting did to my mind. I think I started Method acting—only I didn’t know how to break out of my character. I really became this other person. Some people do Method acting, but they’re usually aware of the fact that they’re doing it.
