As much as I love Taylor Swift, I am soooo happy she didn't get cast as Eponine! First of all, she would have been far too well-known for such a role. Secondly, I may get hate for this, but I don't think she's all that great of an actress. I'm definitely not saying I'm any better, but compared to Samantha Barks, she's average. Also, I love Taylor's voice, but it's average and wouldn't be ideal for a musical/film such as Les Miserables.
I totally agree. She isn't even that great of a singer so she just needs to stick to pop because I reckon if she was in a musical as dramatic as this one, she would have completely ruined it. She doesn't have the powerful and moving voice that eponine needs
Eponine's heartbreak leaves me in a pool of tears every time I watch LES MIS, so it makes me feel tons better to see these two enjoying themselves and having a jolly good time.
If taylor swift would've gotten cast as eponine, I would've thought it was a movie to make fun of les mis. That would've been a complete joke. Sam was perfect!!
I met Samantha after I saw her in Oliver a couple of weeks ago, she is literally one of the nicest people (and so beautiful in real life). I'm sure I'd be pissed off if someone was pestering me after I'd been on stage for three hours but she was so down to earth and she gave me singing advice! She so deserves all her success :)
I literally fell in love with Marius when I saw Les Mis. I dont think i ever thought that I would love the freckles on someone's face as much as I did; they give so much character to Eddie (not saying he doesn't already have character....). I would cry if I could meet him..
Samantha’s response to the question about beating Taylor Swift was so awesome and mature. What a queen. Also would LOVE to see Taylor’s audition tape 😂
He's... a pretty terrible interviewer. Just didn't seem very integrated with Eddie and Samantha, but they were really good sports and made it quite enjoyable.
"So how long could you rap everything you said to one another?" "Well, there's not a lot of rapping in Les Mis..." (dead pan face) "Yeah so... how long do you think you could do it though?"
These two are so underrated and in my opinion made me love the movie more than I thought I would. Hugh and Anne are ok, but these two deserve more recognition!
OMG Samantha is so sweet. Eddie and Samantha would be like the greatest couple ever ! And I love the way that they call Anne Hathaway "Annie", that's so sweet !
OMGGG I thought i was the only one annoyed by his expressionless-uninterested interviewing skills... Good thing they seemed to just enjoy themselves! Samantha Barks!!! Beautiful & she surely did her part SO amazingly!
I'd actually pay a hundred bucks for a copy of taylor's audition video. i'm assuming that because it was a fail, all traces of it has been completely destroyed
According to this, she was actually offered the role: www.mtv.com/news/1676763/taylor-swift-les-miserables-reactions/ That's a little weird, though, because in a later article by them, they said that Samantha Barks won the role over her, so I don't really understand what exactly is going on. According to this source, Eddie Redmayne said that Taylor's audition was great, but I'm sure he wouldn't say that it was anything less than great: time.com/4574972/eddie-redmayne-taylor-swift/
I cannot be the only person who ships them. And no, it's nothing to do with their characters in the movie. He keeps leaning over closer to her, and the way she looks at him...Okay they would be perfect and no one can convince me otherwise.
neiveeee✨ Not even Cosette. In order to get that part, you need to have that "opera quality". No offence, but Taylor's voice is on a different category - which isn't bad at all
This is the second film in which Eddie Redmayne's character has fallen for a blonde woman over a better looking brunette. Michelle Williams oiver Emma Watson, now Amanda Seyfried over Samantha Barks!

I totally agree 100% with everything you just said!
Georgina Fegan I'm a Swifty and I gotta agree with you. I don't think she suits the role at all and her acting isn't that good.
Amazing person very healthy
Georgina Fegan She's not that great a singer either. Eponine should be a strong voice and Samantha's is a good fit
I totally agree. She isn't even that great of a singer so she just needs to stick to pop because I reckon if she was in a musical as dramatic as this one, she would have completely ruined it. She doesn't have the powerful and moving voice that eponine needs
I am literally addicted to Samantha Barks' voice.
Not even the SINGING voice. Just her talking voice. Unggh.
Yep. I’ve got a little crush 🤪
Eponine's heartbreak leaves me in a pool of tears every time I watch LES MIS, so it makes me feel tons better to see these two enjoying themselves and having a jolly good time.
Samantha barks is like the loveliest person ever
The way that Samantha looks at Eddie is very sweet. She has a light in her eyes and I can tell she thinks of him and a really great person
I literally love how they're having so much fun and the interviewer looks like he's having a terrible time! haha

Im glad Taylor Swift wasn't cast as Eponine. Thank God. Samantha was perfect.

taylor swift in les mis the movie would probably be like nick Jonas was in the 25th anniversary not bad per say but really out of place
+mackenzie anderson Exactly, pop singers can't do musicals it just doesn't sound right
+Melissa Smith well not always there are some times it works but so often the styles of pop and Broadway don't mesh at all
mackenzie anderson Yep, I agree
mackenzie anderson yep
Why is the interviewer SWEATING LIKE A PIG??!!!
I love these two to no end. They're beautiful people

(dead pan face) "Yeah so... how long do you think you could do it though?"
gosh, theyre both just so perfect.
I love it when Eddie says 'SERIOUS ANGST'
Brilliant!
These two are so underrated and in my opinion made me love the movie more than I thought I would. Hugh and Anne are ok, but these two deserve more recognition!
They are both really charming.
OMG Samantha is so sweet. Eddie and Samantha would be like the greatest couple ever !
And I love the way that they call Anne Hathaway "Annie", that's so sweet !
Samantha Barks is GORGEOUS. Just throwing that out there
These two are brilliant together. Best interview I've seen in the last year.
Absolutely adore these two together! And her little giggle before she laughs at 1:10 is too cute :')
I wanna see Eddie singing Bohemian Rhapsody... That was my most favorite song ever!!!!
Iodine Cerium omg same
Eponine is my favourite character in the film and I was extremely happy with Sam. She's really great.
OMGGG I thought i was the only one annoyed by his expressionless-uninterested interviewing skills... Good thing they seemed to just enjoy themselves!
Samantha Barks!!! Beautiful & she surely did her part SO amazingly!
Her dimples >>>
I'd actually pay a hundred bucks for a copy of taylor's audition video. i'm assuming that because it was a fail, all traces of it has been completely destroyed
charissecoal i found it
can i get the link?

I’m kind of irritated that Taylor is trying so hard to become an actress. She’s a phenomenal songwriter but acting isn’t her thing. She sucked in cats
They could have everyone in the world audition and not find a better eponine Sam is UNBELIEVABLE
I glad Taylor didn't get to be Eponnie, not that I don't LOVE her. Sam is PERFECT!
Eponine*
Eponymous*
OHMYGERD I lose it when he mentions singing a love song and he touches the back of her chair. The feels. THE FEELS.
...I'm sorry XD Fangirl mode.
You understand me!! They make me so happy and I want them together. 😫😅
they would be so perfect together! they get along so well! and its not awkward between them!
apply rapping to Les Mis and you get the French version of Hamilton starring Enjolras as Alexander Hamilton
YESS!!
Abi Alston YESSSS OMG!!!
Aaaaand the waist mystery is solved.
Seriosuly, it's been killing me.
YESSSSS!! It’s been KILLING ME!!!!
@@malloryfallon6394 sameee hahaha
These two are too precious for this world I can't-
Her and I have a similar face shape and seeing how beautiful she is makes me feel so much better about myself c:
With all due respect for Emma Watson, who else thinks Samantha Banks would've been an incredible Belle in the live action Beauty And The Beast 2017?
I totally agree with this!
Did you know that Samantha was in Les Miserables in 2010. She's the only one who reprised her role in the movie.
She was in the west end production of Oliver when Mr Mack announced she was chosen for the role of Eponine in the movie.
Both are my new celeb crushes... adore them together!
They were great in the movie and I love them both here too.
Sam is perfect I wouldn't want anyone else playing the role other than her :)
This is my favorite interview ever
Samantha you make me smile. :-)
I love her hair. It looks so elegant.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I can't express in words.
I NEED TO SE SAM, AMANDA AND ANNE IN TEH KARAOKE NIGHT!!
That was quite honestly the most amusing thing I've ever seen. Sam cracks me up.
Love me some Eddie Redmayne! Love how he explains the karaoke thing!!
Awww!! they're both just so cute!!!
They are so adorable! I love them!!!
Sam's whole 'Wake Awake' bit was brilliant. I love her beyond belief, she's too perfect.
The best actors/singers in the movie by far!
it just delight me a whole day every single time whenever i watch this interview🤣🤣🤣so funny
Thanks Sam ! I know have Wide Awake stuck in my head ! ;)
Eddie Redmayne is beautiful.
I lalalalalove Eddie Redmayne & Samantha Barks so much omg.
both of them are just beautiful human beings :)
Eddie is perfect! And he cannot sit still haha!
Eddie Redmayne is Charming!!
The way Sam answered the question about Taylor Swift was so amazing.
eddy redmayne is so adorable oml
Those two are just amazing! Feels!
Aww! They're so sweet! Wish i could meet them!
im happy for samantha i swear if eponine was played by taylor swift les mis wouldnt be dramatic and it would just feel like some disney movie....
These are two are so adorable and so talented!!!
She seems nice and very dedicated - love her accent - his too - both amazing in Les Mis
Marius in a corset😂
I would pay to see that
wash and wear? Watch the danish girl lol
Marius is like....Damn, picked the wrong girl.
Samantha Barks is so dreamy. When she was doing Katie Perry with the dat dat dat a dah.... so cute!
ahaha my two favourite character and actors! yay!
'Chastised by other actors....' and now he's an Oscar winner
That sounds like the most awesome combination.
The interviewer doesnt even need to be there I'd just be happy watching them have a conversation together!
now she's got it stuck in MY head!
this video is my favourite video in the universe-
"I'm wide awake, da dana danana" i dont even no the song.. its going to be stuck in my head all night now... ;) best interview ive see of sam :)
I cannot be the only person who ships them. And no, it's nothing to do with their characters in the movie. He keeps leaning over closer to her, and the way she looks at him...Okay they would be perfect and no one can convince me otherwise.
I always thought her waist looked really small! That explains it!
i love them soo muchhh!!
I love them so so much!
They are so cute!! Love them together!! Seriously!!!
Taylor Swift as Eponine? Only in her WILDEST DREAMS!! Hahaha!! Just me? Ok....

+Kanade Lapis thank you! I try
5 points to slytherin

Omg they are too adorable. Shipping it sooooo hard.
I wish they were together!!
amazing cast!!!love them all :)
Smiled like the whole way through
they laugh so adorablely..
Great to see their personalities come out during the interview. Sam is just so cute :)
These two are so cute together! They have great chemistry!!!
can we just talk about Sam's dimple please
I think Eddie is soooooo awesome
I just wanna be best friends with them and sing songs all day
'It's not like this, she has got words to it.'
Brilliant.
since he wasn’t married in 2012 I’m allowed to say that he definitely has a lil crush on her and I ship it HARDD
I love Eponine she’s my favorite character in les mis
EDDIE LIKES KARAOKING TO MEATLOAF I'M DEAD
this was really adorable
sam is amazing loved her for years shes unbelieveable
As a Taylor fan I do agree I'd prefer Sam as Eponine. I think Amanda and Taylor look very similar so perhaps Cosette?
neiveeee✨ Not even Cosette. In order to get that part, you need to have that "opera quality". No offence, but Taylor's voice is on a different category - which isn't bad at all
Agreed
Taylor looks nothing like Amanda Amanda is GORGEOUS
This is the second film in which Eddie Redmayne's character has fallen for a blonde woman over a better looking brunette. Michelle Williams oiver Emma Watson, now Amanda Seyfried over Samantha Barks!
It's the opposite in fantastic beasts!
