Lucy Hale Almost Turned Down Her 'Pretty Little Liars' Role!

Could you imagine anyone else but Lucy Hale as Aria in Pretty Little Liars?

Us either, but that’s almost what happened.

In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, Lucy revealed that she almost didn’t take the role because there was an entirely different pilot on the table, too.

“I was offered another pilot, but my gut kept telling me to go towards Pretty Little Liars,” Lucy shared. “There was just something about that name that kept replaying in my head and I knew that that was probably the right decision to make.”

So what made her decide that PLL was the right project?

“I think the reason I made the choice for PLL was that creatively it really excited me…You can be advised by really great people, family, friends, agents, managers, publicists, hairstylists, whatever it is. It’s always great to surround yourself with wonderful people, but at the end of the day, you’re left with yourself. And I think that inner voice that you have is the strongest and most important.”

We are so glad Lucy said yes to PLL!
