The Stars Were Not The Initial Choice For The Movie!
Fans will be astonished to know that the leasing stars of this movie were not the first choice to start with, according to director Adam Shankman there were two completely different casts altogether. Minnie Driver was initially considered for the role of Mary Fiore and Brendan Fraser for the lead male role.
That’s when singing sensation Jennifer Lopez showed interest in the role, however, the director was still a bit reluctant to hire her for the role. While the director never saw the star as a romantic comedy person, he was hypnotised once he met her and all his reservations went away. Fans are happy as it all worked out in the end , and we got to see one of the cutest rom-com movies of all time.
