Funny story: When I was a drama student, we were all trying out for a role on some shitty low-key soap opera (I never had a chance, knew I didn’t, but eh, they said it would be fun and I should try anyway. I was 17. )
Then, at the audition, this girl walked in. She was jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
No, the air actually went out of the room as soon as she walked in. And we all knew instantly she would get the part. Which she did. No question asked. Even the casting agents knew it. She was the loveliest thing you’ve ever seen.
I said to her later on, when we walked out: “What’s it like to be as beautiful as you? It must be wonderful.”
*Her* “But they drool over me. The guys. It’s...weird.”
*pause*
*Her* “I only got into this because my parents and everyone told me to. Because someone as pretty as me had to be in acting. I wanted to be an accountant.”
*Me* “Um...well...you’re, uh, photogenic.”
*Her* “I can’t act!”
*Me* “Well, obviously. I know that. I saw your audition.”
