Rachel McAdams on auditioning and watching her films

August 18, 2009 by Lance Carter

Rachel McAdams isn’t a big fan of auditioning for romantic films:
“The weirdest thing I’ve had to do in an audition was making out with strangers. It was weird just turning up and kissing someone. I guess it was to see if there was any chemistry there. But the one I’m thinking of I got the part!”

What does she think about her finished films?
“I wish I could just step back and watch a film I’m in and be carried away. But what I see on the screen never encapsulates the experience – that hour and a half never sums up the shooting of it and the relationships you made and the trials and tribulations. So I always am left with a sense of longing. I’m always happy with what’s there and I’m so excited when it all comes together. But it’s never representative of the whole package.”
