Kate Winslet Says Robert Downey Jr.’s ‘Dreadful’ Accent During ‘The Holiday’ Audition Left Her Thinking: ‘That’s Bad. That’s Not Going to Work’


Kate Winslet says Robert Downey Jr. auditioned for "The Holiday" with a dreadful accent.

Winslet recently appeared on “The Tonight Show” while promoting her new HBO series “The Regime” and was asked by host Jimmy Fallon if she remembered Downey Jr.’s audition. “[Jimmy and I] got called in just as seat fillers…[director Nancy Meyers] needed someone to read with the gals and we’re sitting there going, ‘It’s about to happen for us,’” Downey said, adding that he felt he was a “shoo-in” to steal the part away from Law. Diaz’s Amanda falls for Law’s book editor Graham, while Winslet’s Iris sparks a romance with Black’s film composer Miles.
