In a new interview with Bustle, the Notebook and Mean Girls star opened up about how it feels to look back on the period between 2006-2008 when she turned down roles no less than four flicks that went on to become box office smashes. These include The Devil Wears Prada (she didn’t specify which part, but presumably Anne Hathaway’s role as Andy Sachs); Casino Royale, which presumably would have found her in Eva Green’s role; the first Iron Man (Pepper Potts?); Get Smart (another one Anne Hathaway has her to thank for) and Mission: Impossible III (Michelle Monaghan’s role, perhaps?).
McAdams says she sometimes wishes she would have said yes to some of these roles, but that she reminds herself that it all turned out for the best.
“There’s certainly things like ‘I wish I’d done that,'” she told Bustle. “I step back and go, ‘That was the right person for that.”
No big deal for McAdams, though — she’s done plenty of other great movies, like the new Judy Blume adaptation Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret; About Time; The Vow, and Wedding Crashers.
