Gia Mantegna: I Auditioned to be Miss Golden Globe!

Just because her dad Joe is a famous actor doesn’t mean Gia Mantegna was handed the title of Miss Golden Globe 2011.

“It was a lot like auditioning for a film or TV. You go in and meet with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” the 20-year-old actress told Access Hollywood.

Gia said she had to “just sit and talk about yourself for 30 minutes,” chatting about everything from her hobbies to growing up with a parent in the business.

“It was nerve racking, not gonna lie!” she added.

Don’t forget to catch Gia hand out trophies during the Golden Globes ceremony this Sunday (January 16) on NBC!
