Sarah Harding Booted From the X Men Movie Cast: What’s Next?
Sarah-Harding“Easy… Sayrawh… one step at a time ye… yew kin dew it… BURRRPPPP”, she was muttering it underneath her breath as she made her way to the parking lot. The girl needed to let her tussled hair down, after the hiring authorities kicked her out of the cast panel for the movie. What was the reason? Well, no one knows and no one bothers to care about it.
For all we know, Sarah Harding was partying hard all night long, in an attempt to forget the distasteful feelings of being turned down. The actress blew up all her chances of being hired again. Ms. Harding was reportedly called back in for three auditions but this new girl, January Jones swept the role right off her hands.
Take a look at some of the statements that Sarah Harding is repeating these days:
• ‘I got called back three times for X-Men but I missed out on the part to January Jones which was fine, she’s a more established actress, but I was pleased to have got that far down the line.’
• “I’m getting quite a few offers but I’m being quite picky.”
