Whitney Cummings detailed her painfully awkward audition for five-time Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola's self-funded sci-fi epic, Megalopolis. While reflecting on her 'horror audition' for an undisclosed role in the drama, which ended up starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf and Chloe Fineman, the comedian, 42, described the process as 'core trauma for' her.
After getting a call to test for the film, the actress said she immediately spent 'days' preparing and three hours in hair and makeup before coming in.
