Rose McGowan was being considered for a starring role in “Speed Racer,” but the studio felt her plastic surgery left her unrecognizable. NY Daily News reports:
McGowan, 34, has admitted to having plastic surgery for an eye injury related to a car accident. But casting skeptics suspect she has had much more done, and that it cost her the role. "The studio felt like she was hard to recognize and worried that by the time the movie hit theaters, fans might not know who she was," says our insider.
Rose wasn’t the only one passed over. Zac Efron was up for the title role, but wasn’t the right fit:
”During his auditions, Zac never connected to the romantic lead in the reading,” says our source. “By the second round, the casting crew didn't feel he was believable as a leading man/hero.”
