The part in question ended up going to Kate Hudson (and good luck not imagining Kaley playing the character the entire movie now that you know this story), but Kaley was *very, very sure* the role was hers.
“I was thinking I was hot shit: I’m going to be with Daniel Craig,” she said of her pre-rejection mindset. “This is amazing.”
And that rejection hit HARD because Kaley was so confident she was getting the part thvat she had already packed to go film on location by the time she got the bad news.
