The Notebook is synonymous with epic romance, and it’s hard to imagine anyone other than stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams taking on the iconic roles of Noah and Allie.<\/p>\n

However, the newly surfaced clip of Britney Spears\u2019 own audition as Allie shows how she truly almost did land the coveted part.<\/p>\n

Fans have been eager to see the long-rumoured tape for over 20 years, and now, as her story is told in her own words for the first time with the release of her memoir The Woman in Me, the video is also being made available.<\/p>\n

Casting director Matthew Barry gave the tape the The Daily Mail, revealing that until McAdams came in and managed to snag the role, the pop star was the top contender, and had even beaten out other established stars like Claire Danes, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, and ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake\u2019s future wife, Jessica Biel.<\/p>\n

The tape shows Spears, dressed in a lacy white tank top, reading lines with an off-camera Gosling, and considering the audition was just months after her rough breakup with Timberlake, her emotion appears raw.<\/p>\n

In fact, as she recites lines where Allie tells Noah she can\u2019t stay because she is going to honour the commitment she made to fianc\u00e9 Lon, the Toxic singer convincingly begins to sob.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, Noah, you can\u2019t marry two people,\u201d she says as tears well up in her eyes. \u201cAnd I\u2019m marrying Lon. So I should go, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

The tears then begin to fall even more as she recites lines where Allie reveals that she had hoped Noah would die while fighting in the war because it would have been easier than finding out he had found someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI prayed for you to die, in the war. Really. Well, not die. I would have felt completely horrible if you would die,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I kinda didn\u2019t want you to be alive anymore because I couldn\u2019t bear the thought of you being with somebody else, or of us never seeing each other again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Barry told The Daily Mail that Spears\u2019 performance during her audition almost snagged her the role, and that she came very close to beating out McAdams.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritney wasn\u2019t just good \u2013 she was phenomenal,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a tough decision. Britney blew us all away, Our jaws were on the floor. I was blown away. Absolutely blown away. She brought her A-game that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also admitted that she had beat out several other actresses who were big names at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritney 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
