Eddie Redmayne was recently on ‘The Graham Norton Show,’ and during the show he revealed that he auditioned for the role as Bilbo Baggins for Peter Jackson’s ‘The Hobbit’ films. Let’s just say it didn’t go so well. lol Check out the hilarious video below!  

“I went to this audition, and I’d been really rigorous about it, and didn’t want to just do my usual boring thing. So I went on YouTube and I found Ian Holm, who’d played it in The Lord of the Rings, and I tried to copy his character. I arrived there, and the casting director put on the camcorder, and I started reading the scene. I thought I was being brave, and before the word Baggins had come out of my mouth she said ‘No, no, no, no. Own voice. Own voice.’ I never got a call back.”
