“They said Hale no to her?”: Fans poke fun at Lucy Hale revealing she auditioned for ‘The Substance’ 

In a shocking turn of events, Lucy Hale recently shared that she had auditioned for the film, The Substance. No, not for Demi Moore's role! From a teenage mystery thriller to body horror, Hale tried to add more range to her Wikipedia page. Unfortunately for her, the role went to Margaret Qualley, who did a phenomenal job, but the news has got everyone thinking about what could have been.

This isn't the first time Lucy Hale auditioned for a big role and was turned down. Many years ago, she shared that she had also auditioned for 50 Shades of Grey but didn't end up getting it.

If not anything, maybe that experience taught her to handle rejection better. Also, losing out on this role was not the end of her career. She is currently thriving with other projects and is also making music.

Margarat Qualley's career is lost upon @Popmvsics:

"Why would they hire an unknown actor for this role? They should've hired Selena Gomez"
