Spears ultimately lost the role to Rachel McAdams but has no hard feelings.
Britney Spears' upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, contains some major revelations about the iconic star including that she nearly starred opposite Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. While the role ultimately went to Rachel McAdams — something that Spears says in the book she's okay with now because of how it would have changed the trajectory of her career — fans can now get a glimpse of what the beloved 2004 film might have been like had Spears gotten the role instead.
"Britney wasn't just good, she was phenomenal," Barry said "Britney beat out several of the top female actresses at the time. Scarlett Johansson, Claire Danes, Kate Bosworth, Amy Adams, Jamie King, and Mandy Moore auditioned for this role. Britney beat out all of them. Everybody who was anybody that year wanted this part."
"That was pretty much the beginning and end of my acting career, and I was relieved," Spears explained."The Notebook casting came down to me and Rachel McAdams, and even though it would have been fun to reconnect with Ryan Gosling after our time on the Mickey Mouse Club, I'm glad I didn't do it. If I had, instead of working on my album In the Zone I'd have been acting like a 1940s heiress day and night.
