Jamie Dornan vomited during Rock of Ages audition

Written by . Published: February 18 2015

Fifty Shades Of Gray star Jamie Dornan is convinced he lost the chance to star in movie musical Rock Of Ages after taking a swig of whiskey right before his audition - and vomiting.


The actor reveals he tried out for a leading role in the big screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical, but he felt the part slipping away from when his audition went horribly awry.


He tells Variety, "I had to sing (Foreigner's) Waiting for a Girl Like You. It's nearly impossible to sing, and I've got quite a deep voice when I sing. My audition was at 10 in the morning on the Warner Bros. lot (and) I convinced myself it would be a good idea to have a bit of whiskey to relax my vocal cords and maybe as a bit of a confidence booster. I took a swig of Jameson and I instantly f**king puked.


"So I'm standing with all these executives driving around in golf carts, as I'm vomiting on the lot. It was a bad look. I hadn't been clever enough to bring mouthwash. And then I had to go in, stinking of whiskey and vomit and proceed to sing Waiting For a Girl Like You, which I couldn't sing."


He admits, "It was the worst situation ever. Obviously, I didn't hear anything back."


While Dornan didn't reveal what role he was up for, Diego Boneta sang Waiting For a Girl Like You in the film, as wannabe rock star Drew Boley.
