I was so devastated. And I’m not (normally) devastated over roles. I had done chemistry reads. I had done Zooms. And I didn’t get it. I cried and I cried all night long. And it went to Kate, who’s great.”Stream more entertainment news live & on demand with Flash. 25+ news channels in 1 place. New to Flash? Try 1 month free.

Cuoco stars alongside SNL’s Pete Davidson. “They were like, ‘We have an interesting script.’ And I said, ‘I don’t want to read anything. I suck. No one wants me.’ They said, ‘You’ve got to read this,’” she remembered thinking. “And Pete was already attached, and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ll read it.’” the 36-year-old said.“And when I did, I said, ‘This is the most magical little script.’ And I would’ve never gotten it if I (got) Knives. It just shows you that you’re where you’re supposed to be. “I mean, I was gutted over that. And that’s when I thought I was on fire, like, I’m for sure getting that. And they were like, ‘No, we’re going to go with Kate.’”Asked if she was given a reason as to why she didn’t get the part, Cuoco said, “No,” but she did admit to thinking she “was hot s**t” in the time leading up to the casting decision.“I was thinking I was hot s**t: I’m going to be with Daniel Craig. This is amazing. But I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. That’s what it was supposed to be, and ‘Knives’ is going to be great and Kate’s great. She was supposed to do it, and I was supposed to do this. And maybe I’ll get to audition for the third one,” the Flight Attendant star shared.Knives Out 2 does not have an official release date yet. Cuoco is set to appear in season 2 of Flight Attendant, premiering locally on BINGE on April 21.This story originally appeared on Fox News and is republished here with permission.
