Did Charlie Puth audition for ‘Wicked’ film?
Charlie Puth did not audition for Wicked.
The popstar is shutting down the recent buzz claiming he auditioned for the blockbuster films.
The singer took to X on Saturday, November 29, and cleared the speculation in a joke-filled reply after a fan account shared a list of artists who were rumoured to have read for roles in the two-part movie.
“I never auditioned for Wicked I would be so bad lol,” wrote Puth, 33.
The list included some huge names such as Jennifer Lopez, Shawn Mendes, Renee Rapp, Katy Perry, Harry Styles, Amanda Seyfried, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, Dove Cameron, Lea Michele and Jessie J.
While Puth was never in the running, several of those stars have previously confirmed that they did audition for the films.
Amanda Seyfried has been open about how badly she wanted the role of Glinda. She explained her audition experience in 2022, saying she was juggling filming The Dropout while preparing for the musical tryout.
“Last summer while I was playing Elizabeth [The Dropout], on the weekends I was auditioning in person to play Glinda in the movie version of Wicked — because I wanted it that much,” she told Backstage.
She shared that she sacrificed her Sundays just to go for it.
Even before Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were cast as Glinda and Elphaba, other big names were linked to the project.
Lady Gaga had been attached to the film as Elphaba during early development before director changes were made, according to OK! Magazine.
Actress Cristin Milioti also confirmed she tried for the role. She told her audition story on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, explaining how she was excited but nervous to sing in person again after COVID.
She recalled being asked to belt the hardest music and said, “I open my mouth and the sound that escaped me is something I will hear on my deathbed. It was disgusting. I sounded terrible.”
Despite many stars chasing those iconic roles, Charlie Puth wasn’t one of them—and he’s more than happy to set the record straight himself.

Denise Richards is ‘grateful’ to be in Patrick Muldoon’s first and last film
Denise Richards was able to make some lovely memories with Patrick Muldoon before his sudden death from a heart attack last week.
Muldoon and Richards — who dated in the 90s for five years and remained best friends for decades later — play romantic partners in the new action crime thriller film Dirty Hands, out in theatres on Friday, April 24.
“Pat & I were supposed to do press this week for Dirty Hands” Richards wrote on Instagram. “He was so passionate about this movie & worked so hard on it…We did our first movie together & I am so blessed & grateful I did his last movie with him.”
The post was accompanied by an emotional scene between their characters: Muldoon plays Chicago drug runner Patrick Muldoon and Richards plays his girlfriend Sheila, who is torn between her loyalties.
Richards, 55, and Muldoon, who was 57, first starred together in Starship Troopers in 1997, when they were 19 and 21 respectively. They formed a strong bond and dated for five years before deciding to remain friends.
Earlier this week, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star paid tribute to Muldoon on Instagram, admitting she’s “deeply heartbroken and devastated” losing her “best friend” and “family.”
“My whole adult life & I don’t know it without you. The friendship, love, support, respect & loyalty we we had was unconditional and rare,” she wrote. “You’ve had my back and protected me more than anyone. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you here.”

Anne Hathaway makes shocking confession about Taylor Swift’s music
Anne Hathaway has already established that she is a massive Taylor Swift fan, but in one of her latest interviews she looked back at what started it all.
The 43-year-old actress, who enthusiastically attended the pop superstar’s Eras Tour shows, shared that despite always being a fan, Anti-Hero was the one song which turned her into a Swiftie.
“I always really, really liked Taylor, but that was the song where I was like, oh no, wait, she’s taking hold of my brain. And then I got much deeper into her music. And then once you see it, you can’t unsee it. You’re just like, Oh, she’s a genius,” the One Day star noted.
Hathaway continued speaking of Swift’s discography, saying, “All of her eras ‘speak to each other.’ To have a retrospective like that at the age that she is, and to realize that she had a vision that didn’t exist in the world, and she literally made the space that she wanted for herself.”
The Devil Wears Prada actress made a wave with her comments, on social media, as other Swifties agreed with her, while many also expressed their shock at the choice.
“Well yes Anne!!!! I knew you would understand,” one fan wrote on X, while another added, “It’s takes time to understand that Taylor is a genius. And once you figure that out, there is no going back.”
A third chimed in and wrote, “‘and then once you see it, you can’t unsee it’ yep pretty much sums up what being a swiftie is.”
While another said, “omg finally justice for anti-hero, it takes a legend to recognise that.”

Sarah Ferguson puts King Charles in tough spot with bombshell offer
Royal family members hold their breath as new drama is set to unfold from Sarah Ferguson’s side.
After losing her royal titles and perks, Fergie has been lying low in order to keep away from further controversy.
Most recently, she was photographed in Austria at a luxury ski resort.
But the sources have been claiming that she will not keep quiet; instead, she tells her side of the story, which could be disastrous for King Charles and his family.
According to Woman’s Day, the former Duchess of York has been offered $2.45million for a tell-all interview by an American journalist.
“Sarah’s come out of shock and is now furious at what’s happened to her life. She wants to sit down and tell her side of her association with Epstein – and what she knew in hindsight about Andrew’s association. And she’s got a LOT to tell,” an insider shared.
Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother’s revelations would be dangerous and could put the monarchy at tough spot.
“She and Andrew had an open arrangement, so if she goes down, they all go down,” the source said.
It has been claimed that Sarah Ferguson is going to become the “real thorn in the crown” for the King and the Prince of Wales.
Not only that, she might exposed more details about her former husband Andrew’s ties with Epstein.
