PC: Taylor Swift was among the candidates considered for LES MISERABLES, yes? What was her audition like?
CM: Yes, yes - Taylor Swift! Wonderful - she was wonderful. A really sweet girl. Actually, I think she may have come in a couple of times, now that I think about it. She was hard-working and did wonderfully in the role. Again, as with all things like that, in the end - as always with that show - the chemistry of the trio is the most important thing to get. You can't cast any of them individually. In the end, the chemistry with Sam [Barks], Amanda [Seyfried] and Eddie [Redmayne] turned out to be the right chemistry for us and for the movie we were making.
PC: You can say that again!
CM: They all worked out just exceptionally. But, to answer your question, though: yes, Taylor was a real trouper for putting herself through the whole process and doing as wonderfully as she did, along with a lot of other famous people. I have a lot of respect for her - for them all.
