Witherspoon told she was 'totally wrong' for role by director

Reese Witherspoon said she had her first real "ego check" when she was told she wasn't right for a role in Gone Girl.
Despite calls from author Gillian Flynn to cast the Legally Blonde star in the role of Amy Dunne, which went to Rosamund Pike, the director of the 2014 movie adaptation of the psychological thriller stood his ground.
Witherspoon recounted on the Las Culturistas podcast: “David sat me down - and this is not on David - but David’s like, ‘You’re totally wrong for this part, and I’m not putting you in it.’”
