Josephine Langford Originally Auditioned For This Other Role in 'After'

Josephine Langford could’ve been cast as an entirely different character in her new movie After.

Author Anna Todd opened up about the recasting that happened for the lead role of Tessa, and revealed that Josephine, 21, originally went out for the role of Molly.

Anna shared with IBT that she always thought Josephine was meant for the role of Tessa.

“Josephine, to be honest, the moment we saw her, even before the recasting, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s Tessa. Okay, interesting,’” she shared.

Originally, Julia Goldani Telles was set to play the lead role, before a scheduling conflict took her away from the film.

“Honestly, [the recast] went seamlessly. And Josephine, immediately, she auditioned for another role, so she already knew about the project, had already started reading the books, so she was so excited and so prepared and ready when she got to Atlanta [for filming," Anna adds. "She had her binder and everything, so it was so seamless. I literally forget that we recast [the role] sometimes, to be honest.”

After hits theaters on April 12th.
