The star was able to be enlightened by a friendly receptionist about how large the film was. \u201cGoodfellas\u201d Witherspoon claimed that she became so nervous about being a star that she completely blew it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the very first auditions I ever had was with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese for a movie called \u2018Cape Fear.\u2019 I didn\u2019t get it. I\u2019m not in that movie because I got so scared when I walked in the room,\u201d She added, \u201cI didn\u2019t know who Robert De Niro was, so I was standing outside talking to the receptionist. She was like, \u2018You know he\u2019s the most important actor of our time, right?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was 14. I\u2019d never seen \u2018Goodfellas.\u2019 I\u2019d never seen \u2018The Godfather.\u2019 So it totally got on my nerves,\u201d she continued.Witherspoon went on to divulge that the audition \u2014 while she was reading opposite De Niro \u2014 got so bad that she got stuck on one word, struggling to the point that De Niro just jumped in and said it for her. But that was only the beginning of Witherspoon\u2019s story \u2014 she said that she went to audition for De Niro again about a decade later, and despite her hopes that he might have forgotten about the last time, he had not.\u201dI thought, \u2018He\u2019s never gonna remember that I bricked that audition,&#8217;\u201d Witherspoon said. \u201cAnd he was like, \u2018I remember you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Me?\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018Oh yeah.
