Patricia Arquette Recalls Auditioning for ‘Jerry Maguire’ With Tom Cruise: ‘I Blew It’
Patricia Arquette said she’s “a notoriously bad auditioner,” which led her to lose out on the 1996 comedy “Jerry Maguire.” “Everyone was saying, ‘Oh, this is just a formality, you’re gonna read with Tom Cruise for ‘Jerry Maguire,’ but this is your part, you got it,’ and I blew it,” the actor told Variety‘s senior culture and events editor Marc Malkin at the SAG Awards red carpet on Sunday. Renée Zellweger ended up booking the role of Dorothy Boyd in the film, to which Arquette added, “I actually think she was better for it, and she was great.”
