Ray Winstone has revealed he auditioned for a small Star Wars role, but it "didn't go well" because he showed up "pissed" to the audition with George Lucas. The Black Widow star almost played Ruwee Naberrie, the father of Natalie Portman's Padmé Amidala, who first appeared in the prequel Revenge of the Sith.
"It didn't go well," he admitted recently (via Far Out Magazine). "Had words and that was that. I've worked for George since, and he was fine. He didn’t remember. Or if he did, he didn't take it to heart."
