As a seasoned gamer with years of experience navigating the virtual worlds of countless games, I can’t help but draw parallels between Juno Temple‘s journey in Hollywood and my own adventures in gaming. Just like how she gracefully handled rejections from roles that weren’t meant for her, I’ve faced countless boss battles I couldn’t overcome or puzzles I couldn’t solve.
In the realm of live-action Disney films, competition is fierce, not everyone gets selected. As more live-action Disney reboots are on the way, opportunities abound but the risks have never been greater. Numerous hopefuls, like Juno Temple from Ted Lasso, have vied for these blockbusters, and she imparted some unexpected insights gleaned during her audition process.
In this rephrased version: Interview Magazine features Juno Temple, an alum of the show The Offer, who recently concluded her work on Noah Hawley’s upcoming TV series, Fargo, scheduled for release in 2024. Additionally, Miles Teller, slated for a role in a movie set for release in 2025, was also interviewed. Their discussion centered around the challenges and acceptance of situations where certain roles may not suit certain actors, and why it’s acceptable.
Temple mentioned that she’s discovered the importance of handling ‘no’s gracefully, which has significantly contributed to her professional growth, notably during the production of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.” She expressed this as follows:
From the start of your career, it’s crucial to grasp the reasons behind rejections, even though they might feel personal at times. For instance, when Tim Burton produced Alice in Wonderland, I was only 17 years old. I cherish a first edition copy of Alice in Wonderland so much that I keep it on my bedside table as if it were the Bible. However, landing the role of Alice was a dream for me. When my agent called, he began with, “Are you seated? We’re simply informing you that Tim Burton doesn’t feel you’re suitable for Alice, so there won’t even be an audition.” I was heartbroken by this news.
Despite the setback, Temple decided to watch the film and understood why Burton hadn’t found a spot for her in Wonderland. The casting, production timeline, and final product are all carefully tailored to fit the role perfectly, and the actress from ‘Atonement’ recognized she was not aligned with the director’s vision.
Juno Temple additionally expressed that she considered opportunities for other Disney reboots, such as “Cinderella,” but found herself confirming once more the truth about the contemporary Alice. In her own words:
At age 17, watching that movie was a profound realization: Alice and I weren’t meant for each other, as I am the Queen of Hearts instead. It becomes clear in hindsight why I wasn’t suitable for the roles I auditioned for in those Disney remakes; I’m not Cinderella.
Initially, the 35-year-old demonstrated maturity and kindness by accepting the rejections gracefully, navigating through them sensibly, and even suggesting more fitting peers for a role. This is quite remarkable for someone in Hollywood at such a young age, considering Temple had the ability to pursue the opposite but chose not to.
I could potentially turn around and say, ‘Fuck you,’ to my stepmom. ‘I’m going to the damn party.’ Sometimes when I’ve read something, I think, ‘Maybe I’m not right for this, but you know who is? I have a really great person that you should meet.’ People have always said that being competitive in this industry is important. And to a degree, it is. But I also think it’s really important to be supportive.
Individuals such as Temple truly embody the aristocracy of Hollywood – they constantly seek ways to uplift their fellow artists and the projects at hand. Despite Disney auditions not turning out as hoped for her, she’s making a splash promoting the final installment of the Venom series. Through this experience, it appears she has developed an enchanting outlook, and her abilities are finally being recognized by many.
