- Secret audition tapes of top Hollywood stars including Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio on Auction
That's showbiz! Secret audition tapes up for auction revealing the top Hollywood names including Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio who missed out on big film roles
Most directors would give their right arm to have Brad Pitt in their movie but for Ron Howard, one of Hollywood's hottest men just did not have the right stuff to be in his film.
The famed director in fact said no not just to Brad but to Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr. when he cast his firefighter film Backdraft, never publicly seen before audition tapes have revealed. - Zábava
Leonardo DiCaprio showed his true natural talent in What's eating Gilbert Grape? What an outstanding performance!
What about Basket Ball Diaries
i cry every time at “the scene”
I couldn't agree more
I honestly thought he had a disability until i saw him in another movie.. way back in the day. Awesome actor.
well this shows us two FACTS :
1) every big fish was once small
2) how money can alter your image, style, and physical appearence (no surgery it comes naturally !!!)
Leonardo DiCaprio would have been a perfect John conner in terminator 2
Naahh...
AMDdotcom but then James Cameron wouldn’t offer him a role in Titanic
AMDdotcom I always said same thing
Edward Furlong had a REAL edginess (both in his actual look and his demeanor) and a sarcastic smart-assery to him though that DiCaprio didn’t have (DiCaprio can "act" cocky and smart-ass, but it's not his natural nature) that made him perfect for John Connor. Unfortunately, Furlong then became a junkie, which destroyed his chances of continuing to play the role throughout the remainder of the Terminator franchise. Indisputably, I do think DiCaprio is ACTUALLY the better actor, BUT, Furlong was BORN to play John Connor.
Which is actually a shame, because he could have potentially built a VERY stable career playing this role, ALL the way up through Terminator: Dark Fate, which would have reunited him with Linda Hamilton, which would have been COMPLETELY EPIC! One of the GREAT mother/son movie reunions of ALL TIME, even if only for one scene. Oh well....🤷
OMG HE WOULD HAVE
I think Pitt is pretty underrated, but damn, that audition was terrible, lol
dude...I thought the same thing ..I would advise him go to school and learn a trade ..his look was bad ..his acting was horrible and wow ..he was simply shitty .who would've guessed he would be the huge star in the late 90s ..wow
I agree ....great post ..
Timi T.
Because he fucked a lot of producers.That's how Hollyweird works.
***** You are new to this planet aren't you?
Phil Perry
You have absolutely zero evidence to back that up. Haters gonna hate, taters gonna tot.
That's some pretty good acting in the auditions imo. They really go for it with no shame or shyness.
Helen Hunt killed the Jurassic Park audition. I actually thought I was watching Jurassic Park while she was auditioning
Same here!
Wow that Brad Pitt audition was awful, he's come a long way.
hes still awful
@@Underyourbedeyes BRUH NOPE.
@@onthescene7897 yup.
Hahahaaahaha I can't believe how stupid all of you are... He was still young he didn't had any experience with acting, and of course when someone wants to learn something he/she will do anything, in this case Brad paid many money to learn because he wanted to be actor... He is a true example of that when you want something so much you will do anything to be best in that job(in this case acting)... Congrats Brad you are one of the best actors in the world and let them speak about how terrible actor you are every celebrity has haters, but the most important thing is that they hate you because you are still beautiful and so many of this people who are writing shit about you are jealous of your beauty... I wish you all the best and many years of acting, you prove how good actor you are by winning an Oscar this year... I hope the next nomination you get is for best actor and win an Oscar for that too you really deserves. One of the best actors of this 20 years... And all of you who says that he is a bad actor watch Troy, inglorious basterds, moneyball, 12 monkeys and fight club, legends of the fall... You will see how wrong you are fucking haters
He got by with his looks
I can see Helen Hunt in Jurassic Park. There's no way I can see Gyneth Palthrow.
stewie Griffin think again.
I was thinking that too! Helen Hunt would actually have been perfect in that role!
culturejam no one can.
+Fer Abra
Gwyneth Paltrow looked to young to be an 'expert' anyway.
cried when i saw baby dicaprio omfg
0:36 10 years we'll be watching this video in awe of this future celebrity's humble beginnings
Pitt was horrible . Robert Downey was already pretty good then.
+Joey Gonza Pitt got in with his looks, lucky he managed to develop his acting side... Downey was a natural all rounder;)
*****
Yeah, he was lucky Clooney turned down Thelma And Louisse.
+Joey Gonza Downey was worse. Dead eyes and that cheesy delivery. Not buying it.
Samuel
He was . He did pretty good in Less Than Zero .
+Joey Gonza Clooney didn't turn down Thelma & Louise. Clooney stated that was one of the big parts that got away.
RDJ's voice didn't change lol.
You're really a real guy?
I love watching tapes like these; it just shows where these huge actors were (talent wise) and where they are now. If you practice your craft, you have to land something sooner or later.
I think Helen Hunt would have done an equally good job in Jurassic Park
Thought the same thing.
Most people just think she's fucking annoying
Leo was watching films from the 1940s as a 16 year old and was always looking up to amazing actors from that era. That's why he stood out from the likes or brad, Downey Jnr, Keanu Reeves
Kendall Reeves? Who is that? I think you meant Keanu Reeves
Helen Hunt would have been brilliant in Jurassic Park!
Agreed! Her audition was great!! You could see her thinking through the evidence like a scientist. (Laura Dern did a good job in the final movie though! Hard to mess up when Spielberg is directing you....)
Helen Hunt nailed that audition
0:35 see at the left window ... LOL
Just makes me feel humble to see even big stars have gone through all the rejections and failures to be where they are right now, so it's not like just we the common people face hardships.
As a young actor, this really gives me hope. We all have to start somewhere.
Hi bro what ur age now it's been so long time
How’s the career going now
Thanks for sharing!!! This makes me feel so much better when I audition-big names all had to do it
brad pitt was always an average actor for me, and you can tell that leo is a genius since he was little
Brad Pitt proving that looks go a long way in Hollywood
This such a great way to show people that everyone has to start somewhere, everyone has to go after what they want and someone will believe in you. Thank you for this video!!!
Leo is doing his "Arnie" hand gestures and nose wipe moves in this Pony Boy audition.
Helen Hunt would've been great in Jurassic Park
leo, aww that was so cute!
Brad Pitt actually had an uncredited scene in the movie 'Less Than Zero' at the end of the movie during the Palm Springs party when Andrew McCarthy got into the fight with James Spader.
I love the leonardo dicaprio part💝
Helen Hunt would have been awesome as Ellie in Jurassic Park
I always mix her up with Laura Dern anyway
If you are an artist. Keep working on your craft. Don’t quit.
It is amazing how these stars have risen.
Aww, look how cute Robert Downey Jr was. He was so young!
2:46 RDJ is literally born to be an actor, he got the eyes ever since
Now that's what I call true acting!!!! All the actors who auditioned were all magnificent! Which truly goes to show real talent!
Helen would have made a great Sattler, but Gweneth, not so much.
5:50 lmao "Tunder"
Helen Hunt was awesome!!!
wow gives me more respect for how talented these actors are
I SCREAMED WHEN THE OUTSIDERS CAME ON
Leo's voice awwww
its all about focusing, and not letting anything else interrupt your focusing,
Did you see the man on the window doing the peace sign? Omg that is beyond funny. It's like hey PEACE!
Brad Pitt was really bad!!!! I mean, I love him now and everything but god..he was lucky to be so handsome.....
haha, exactly!
"Death meet Zuniga" LMAO!
LoL just before starting this video the song diamonds came in my head for some reason and then video starts and I hear the song ! I thought I got mad haha
Whoever is doing the subtitles for this video, is just horrible at their job.
***** those computers are horrible at their jobs
They're gonna start hiring illegal immigrant computers.
Nicole Kidman made a name for HIMSELF...?!? LMAO Way to go Matt.
So I guess the rumors about Tom Cruise were true.
hotgirlsarehot
I guess Matt subconsciously hopes so and that could be why he made that slip... lol.
I do wish she wouldn't have messed up her face. (Nicole Kidman)
wow, Helen Hunt really killed it!
Oh dang, I thought that was Helen Hunt. I think I mixed that film up with Twister in my head. They both had to get away in cars a lot. lol
Connelly doing some suspect shit with her eyes
+CandyHam Man, auditioning with someone as beautiful as she is...must be nerve-racking
they're really cute! I saw Happy Young Keanu :D
i saw what i wanted. no need to buy now. HAW HAW!!!
wow, even from here i can feel the chemistry between Jennifer Connelly and Russell Crow on that audition :)
Helen Hunt should've gotten that part before Laura Dern in Jurassic Park.
some of the questions that the reporter ask, the guys are not answering at all... LOL! its like WTF!
I'm missing an information in the comments about:
How much did they get for the "Secret Audition Tapes"?
Agreed. After seeing her audition tape I can't fathom why they went with Dern. I loved Dern as a kid, but when I went to see the 3-D re-release last spring (my first time watching it as an adult), I found Dern unbelievable in the part. She was very girlish and quite amateurish in her line delivery. In her audition, Hunt was commanding. I would believe that she was a paleontologist. The scientific words she used came out of her naturally. Dern sounded like she didn't know what she was saying.
omg leoo..from the beginning he was really good
I can't BELIEVE they would try and make a TV SHOW out the OUTSIDERS. That movie is a classic! What were they thinking?Turned it into something cheap. Its like when they make part 2 movies out of a perfect part 1…like GREASE does anyone remember GREASE 2?
Those subtitles are pretty interesting
Russell Crowe was in THE INSIDER in 1999 for which he received his first Oscar nomination. GLADIATOR was released the following year for which he won the Oscar. Ron Howard said her cast Crowe upon seeing GLADIATOR. By that time, he already had an Oscar nomination under his belt from the previous year, and GLADIATOR was a blockbuster. Therefore, he had more leverage than some small-time actor.
Pretty people are automatically great actors! Yay!
+PillCosby not pitt and rdj lol
Agreed. If you look at Phil Hoffman, he was a wonderful actor but barely nobody remembered him due to his looks.
Helen Hunt nailed it. I'm surprised Russel Crowe even had to audition. He was huge at that time.
Never knew Helen Hunt audition for JP...though they hired her lookalike in Laura Dern...HH's audition was actually pretty good
Hmmm.... mispronouncing Coppola and Keanu .... And "Nicole Kidman made a name for HIMself" (5:17) ... -- luckily Lauer didn't have to audition for his part!
well said!
English is my second language and my ears were blooding jajaja
Its a Freudian Slip- he was prolly spilling some TEA!!!!
Helen hunt was the best!
Once you get your foot in the door you dont have to be great anymore.. don't down brad pitt.. Hes a great actor married to a great actor so you actors chill.
OMG background in the end where two actor tested, I can see the poster of CHER in second poster wow
A must see
Gwyneth Paltrow playing a scientist. Movie actor is about as far away from that as possible. Scientists toil endlessly for little credit, movie stars are applauded endlessly for relatively nothing.
Did that guy just say "Days of Tunder" instead of Thunder??? LOL
Helen Hunt was good!
He was still young and learning you have to remember he never went to acting school or anything of the sort.
blast from the past! cool!
did anyone realize that the guy on the right is the clon of Edward Norton?
You're the cutest and genius from the start of Your carrer.
I'm sorry I was too bounded to notice it earlier. After The Departed I've finally realize how great You are. For all of your roles we owe you a tonn of Oscars. Thank You for everything! We're all totally in love with You!!!!
that was my initial thought too but the other actress did nail it
I don't want it to stop.
We are a casting agency based in Asia...
Have auditioned many top celebrities in India and China...
Never knew we could auction them...
Anyway, even after knowing this we dont intend to ....
Jennifer Connelly
When I saw Pitt’s audition for “Backdraft” all I could think of was Thelma & Louise. He would have been a TERRIBLE choice for Backdraft, but was Oscar-worthy in Thelma & Louise. Helen Hunt might have been ok as Ellie Sattler, but Laura Dern was better. Jennifer Connelly and Russell Crowe were BRILLIANT in A Beautiful Mind, and it’s hard to imagine any other actors in those roles.
Very fine.
Helen Hunt would've been great as Ellie! I definitely see her in that role.
Yeah, she would've been great. Laura Dern was also solid, but I can't help thinking that maybe Helen Hunt was a bit better suited for the role.
all these people r so fecking talented
Kidman's got that typical 80's hairstyle))
I wouldn't buy a minute of these audition tapes...these are as boring as watching snails fart
They aren't supposed to be entertaining by themselves, but the interest of them is in the context of the actors' future success. They are just small pieces of Hollywood history.
That’s Brad Pitt’s face but not brads voice
I guess Matt Lauer did not know that many would consider it unethical and inappropriate, if legal, for casting directors to sell audition tapes. When actors come in to audition, it's their time to try all kinds of things, do different takes, and feel safe that only the people directly involved with the project will see the footage. I am surprised that the actors union, SAG-AFTRA, has not said anything, unless the sellers got signed releases from the actors who gave their permission and waived all rights. One thing is for an audition to appear "mysteriously" on CZcams, and another is for 3rd parties to profit.
You read my mind. These were interesting to watch, but it felt wrong, as if I was watching something that should've been private.
Marianne Sauvage oh shut up
0:35 Hello to you, too.
Very cool.
helen hunt was great, this is really gving me inspiration to try and find some movie auditions, if anyone has any suggestions on how or where please let me know thanks!
What happened to the tapes. Are they available? Can they be viewed?
Brad has gotten a lot better
does gwyneth paltrow even act???....she's EXACTLY the same in every movie i've ever seen her in as she is in this tape, and even the same in interviews.
i don't think the woman ever quite grasped the concept.
You're right about that. Some actors can get away with it if the movies are good enough. Bruce Willis is one of my all time favorite actors along with Samuel Jackson, but both don't change very much from role to role. Both have only stepped out of their usual personas a couple of times. I think some just possess the talent of sucking you into the movie better than others, no matter the storyline.
Jennifer Connelly could seduce any man with that look. Wow
Leo is so cute when he is little!! :)
helen hunt would've been perfect for jurassic as well as laura dern tbh they were the same level for that role
nicole kidman made a name for himself?? Is that what that guy said?!!
+Wes Hunter I heard that too lol
