Amanda Seyfried has said that she was hoping to land the role of Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, only to be overlooked in favour of Ariana Grande.
The 36-year-old actress said that she "bent over backwards" to win the role but the 29-year-old Grammy winning singer was chosen instead.
Amanda opened up about the process for trying to land the part of the so-called good witch in an interview with Backstage.
