Britney Spears’ audition for the 2004 romantic period drama ‘The Notebook’ found its way onto the internet nearly 20 years later
Britney Spears’ audition for The Notebook has finally surfaced online 20 years later — and she makes a compelling performance as Allie.
“Look, Noah, I can’t be here. Not the way I feel about you. It’s not fair to Lon,” Spears-as-Allie declares in the monologue, which takes place as the characters reunite while Allie is engaged to another man. “Look, Noah — you can’t marry two people. And I’m marrying Lon. So I should go, OK?” But her character doesn’t leave.
The two-plus minute reel showcases Spears’ acting chops, particularly when it comes to navigating her way through heavy emotions. “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,” she wrote in an expert published by People earlier this month. “If I had, instead of working on my album In the Zone I’d have been acting like a 1940s heiress day and night.”
