The Bridesmaids Role Rebel Wilson Originally Wanted

During her appearance on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show, actor Rebel Wilson admitted she originally auditioned for an entirely different part in Bridesmaids. "My character wasn't supposed to exist in the movie. I'd auditioned for Melissa McCarthy's character and was the second choice for that role," said the actor. "I guess they liked my audition that they added me into the film, essentially, so there was never supposed to be two roommates, only one. So I just kind of added myself in, in a way, to the scenes." We're sure glad both McCarthy and Wilson were brought on board.

Wilson also told Jess Cagle and Julia Cunningham that Brynn's infamous massive back tattoo was supposed to be something entirely different: "hip-hop Garfield." However, it didn't pan out, so they had to change gears quickly. "On the day, they go, we cannot get the rights to hip-hop Garfield," Wilson said, noting that she'd already "worked out all these jokes to do about it, and then we had to go with Mexican drinking worm." Suffice to say, they had to ink on their feet.
