Dylan O'Brien recalls his "terrifying" audition for 'Frozen 2'

A1 Digital India News: The actor admitted to Seth Meyers that he "can't sing," but decided to audition for the animated film because "it doesn't always feel like being a real actor." The Saturday Night Live actor recently appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where the host asked him about his failed audition for the 2019 animated sequel, which will see Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel return as sisters Anna and Elsa, respectively. O'Brien said he didn't go into the audition with high hopes of getting the role "because I knew I probably wouldn't get it." The actor did not reveal which character he auditioned for.

Produced by Example "They're looking for versatile, versatile people who can act and sing," he told Seth Meyers about the musical film. "And honestly, you probably won't even see me." The Teen Wolf alumnus admitted he "can't sing," but decided to audition because "it doesn't always feel like being a real actor." But Meyers was surprised how long it took the casting director to realize singing wasn't one of O'Brien's top talents.

"This poor woman," the actor said. "I actually remember — this is a specific detail — she asked me, in a stern tone, if I could join the choir because she had to see if I had a certain rank." O'Brien admits he was "a little carried away at the first verse," but eventually "got over" the woman's request and it was "really bad."

"I know. She knows. OK," he joked, but Meyers responded by asking, "Does she know that you know?"

"I think yes, because when he said to me, 'Okay, okay' ... he said 'okay' twice, I'll never forget that," the actor recalled in The Maze Runner. "And then he said, 'Thank you for coming. I think we probably need a stronger singer,' and I said, 'Yeah, I know.' I said, 'Thank you for having me.'"

O'Brien said that overall, the audition was a positive experience. "Honestly, I remember a lot," he joked before telling Meyers, "And then I'm glad they decided to ask me."

"We wanted you to finish. Don't you think, Dylan?" the host joked, to which the actor responded, "It actually makes me feel good. I'm serious!"
