In a surprising twist, Jessica Simpson has disclosed her decision to decline the lead role in the renowned movie, The Notebook.

The talented singer has unveiled that she was once offered the opportunity to portray the character that eventually became iconic through Rachel McAdams’ portrayal.

Jessica has come forward to reveal that she opted out of the movie because she was unwilling to participate in intimate scenes.

The actress candidly shared that although she was approached for the role, she ultimately rejected it due to the producers’ refusal to modify the intimate scene featuring Ryan Gosling.

Delving into the details within her latest publication, Open Book, Jessica expressed, ‘I declined the offer because they were adamant about retaining the intimate scene, especially with Ryan Gosling.’

Reflecting on her past, she reminisced about her youthful infatuation with Ryan, dating back to when she was just 12 years old and had faced a setback during an audition for the Mickey Mouse Club.

Recalling those times, she fondly shared, ‘Long before the world recognized Ryan Gosling’s charm, I had a premonition.’

Interestingly, this was not the sole project she walked away from; during her relationship with football player Tony Romo between 2007 and 2009, Jessica had to reject several movie opportunities as he disapproved of her engaging in on-screen romantic acts.

She recollected, ‘Tony imposed a significant condition on our relationship: He opposed any roles that necessitated an on-screen kiss, which essentially eliminated romantic comedies – a genre where I was frequently considered.’

Acknowledging his stance, she added, ‘I understand; some individuals find it challenging to witness their partner sharing intimate moments with others, even for professional purposes.

However, there are limits to portraying similar themes without male romantic interests.’

‘I believe it was more about his public image than the actual scene.

How would his acceptance of such scenes be perceived by others?’
