Eddie Redmayne says Taylor Swift auditioned for Les Miserables musical

Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has revealed that Taylor Swift auditioned to play Eponine in the Les Miserables movie, which was released in 2012, but lost out on the role to actress Samantha Banks. 

He told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that her audition was "amazing": "She auditioned for Les Miserables and she was amazing in the audition. We got to sing together, which was a big moment for me... She was extraordinary.”

Redmayne, meanwhile, recently spoke to BUILD Series about starring in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and confessed that he tried to take a magic wand through customs, which was a terrible idea:

"I brought it because I felt like it would be reassuring to have Newt's wand. But then we were coming through customs and I suddenly realise that a wand looks like a really sharp, scary object and then to try and explain it to a customs person, I was like, 'Have you seen the ... No?' That was a bit disastrous."
