Even an actress as successful as Scarlett Johansson has to deal with rejection every once in a while. On Monday’s Stern Show, she revealed a few of the roles she’s auditioned for that ended up being played by other Hollywood actresses. Howard started out by asking if it was true she was up for the part in “Jumanji” that eventually went to Kirsten Dunst.

“That is true, yeah,” Scarlett said. She was only a kid at the time and told Howard she didn’t dwell upon losing out on the role, even after seeing the movie once it came out in theaters. “I wasn’t bitter enough then. Now, I’m bitter,” Scarlett joked.

Another role that got away while she was still young was the lead in “The Parent Trap.” Lindsay Lohan went on to play the long-lost twin sisters in the Disney flick and Scarlett admitted she still hasn’t seen that movie.

“I was too old for that movie when I auditioned for it,” she explained, saying she was a teenager by that point. “Maybe when it came out I was also too old to watch it.”

Scarlett also shed some light on that rumor of her being deemed “too beautiful” to play the lead role in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”
