Jessica Simpson Turned Down ‘The Notebook’ for This Reason
Jessica Simpson is revealing why she turned down Rachel McAdams‘ role in The Notebook.
The 39-year-old singer detailed her experience in her new memoir “Open Book.”
“I knew exactly what the movie was about because I had read the script,” Jessica wrote (via Page Six), adding that she turned it down “because they wouldn’t budge on taking out the sex scene.”
“And it would have been with Ryan Gosling, of all people,” she continued, after sharing that that he was her first crush during their Mickey Mouse Club days in the 1990s.
Jessica ended up watching the movie for the first time when it was played on an airplane – at the same time her separation from ex-husband Nick Lachey was announced.
“Oh God, I thought,” Jessica described. “The most romantic movie in the world, and I was leaving Nick … The movie was on every screen, and I was swept up into it, wishing I had that great love that would be forever.”
Also in her book, Jessica Simpson opened up about the last time she slept with Nick, which happened after their split.
