Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Talks Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Audition

So, what’s it really like to audition to replace the beautiful if not infamous Megan Fox? We reported on the status of the relationship between Fox and Michael Bay, who fired the difficult actress from the Transformers franchise. There, newcomer, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley comes off like a fairy princess in comparison to Fox. Check out Rosie’s recollection of the fateful first audition. You’ll find the video below from MTV.

“I went to the audition and really I knew nothing about the role,” Whiteley said. “No one had said anything; it was just a role in ‘Transformers,’ so I kind of thought it would be an extra part or a cameo or something. I went in a bit blind and also, it was my first-ever audition. I went in completely not knowing what I was doing. I left feeling not confident.”

The Victoria’s Secret model seems like a real sweetheart, however. That could be why Michael Bay telephoned her directly to say “Yeah, you’re the girl.” See her with her co-star in a Dark of the Moon clip.

“Yeah, I’ve been so lucky because doing this film, I got to try a little bit of everything,” she said. “There’s something for everyone in it: There’s the romance, the comedy, the drama, the action, there’s the special effects.” To see what she’s talking about, scope out these latest teasers now.
