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
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!!
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?"
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.
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 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 :)
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 😂
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..
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!
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 !
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
I've been watching a lot of these interviews about the movie and I've noticed something. Aaron Tveit is the only person who has never really promoted the movie in any way and he isn't even involved in interviews that have multiple cast members. I wonder why that is? Does he not like them or something or was he just busy?
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 🤪
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!!
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??!!!
Samantha barks is like the loveliest person ever
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..."

Im glad Taylor Swift wasn't cast as Eponine. Thank God. Samantha was perfect.
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.
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
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
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 glad Taylor didn't get to be Eponnie, not that I don't LOVE her. Sam is PERFECT!
Eponine*
Eponymous*
apply rapping to Les Mis and you get the French version of Hamilton starring Enjolras as Alexander Hamilton
YESS!!
Abi Alston YESSSS OMG!!!
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 Barks is GORGEOUS. Just throwing that out there
I love these two to no end. They're beautiful people
Aaaaand the waist mystery is solved.
Seriosuly, it's been killing me.
YESSSSS!! It’s been KILLING ME!!!!
@@malloryfallon6394 sameee hahaha
Her dimples >>>
They are both really charming.
I love it when Eddie says 'SERIOUS ANGST'
Brilliant!
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. 😫😅
gosh, theyre both just so perfect.
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!
They could have everyone in the world audition and not find a better eponine Sam is UNBELIEVABLE
I wanna see Eddie singing Bohemian Rhapsody... That was my most favorite song ever!!!!
Iodine Cerium omg same
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!
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!
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.
Eponine is my favourite character in the film and I was extremely happy with Sam. She's really great.
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 !
I NEED TO SE SAM, AMANDA AND ANNE IN TEH KARAOKE NIGHT!!
Her and I have a similar face shape and seeing how beautiful she is makes me feel so much better about myself c:
Taylor Swift as Eponine? Only in her WILDEST DREAMS!! Hahaha!! Just me? Ok....
It's Katy perry
+Sophia Anthousis What's Katy Perry?
OMG GOOD ONE
+Kanade Lapis thank you! I try
5 points to slytherin
Eddie Redmayne is beautiful.
Marius in a corset😂
I would pay to see that
wash and wear? Watch the danish girl lol
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 :')
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....
they would be so perfect together! they get along so well! and its not awkward between them!
Marius is like....Damn, picked the wrong girl.
These two are too precious for this world I can't-
am I the only one who ship them?
Um no high five Gurl👌🏻🙋🏼
+Smiley Gaby hahaha✋✋
+Kaya D yassss
HI. hahahahahah
THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER THO
Eddie is perfect! And he cannot sit still haha!
Eddie Redmayne is Charming!!
They were great in the movie and I love them both here too.
Both are my new celeb crushes... adore them together!
'Chastised by other actors....' and now he's an Oscar winner
Samantha Barks is so dreamy. When she was doing Katie Perry with the dat dat dat a dah.... so cute!
Sam is perfect I wouldn't want anyone else playing the role other than her :)
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.
Samantha you make me smile. :-)
I always thought her waist looked really small! That explains it!
That was quite honestly the most amusing thing I've ever seen. Sam cracks me up.
I know he's married but I thinks he's got a little crush on her 😂🙂
Me, too
late comment/ he probably did have a crush on her back then, because he got married in 2014 and this video was made in 2012
still got hope lol but hes having a kid
you can be married and STILL have a crush on people
riley minkus I think we all have a little crush on sam tbh
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
taylor swift for eponine? good lord..
I love her hair. It looks so elegant.
Love me some Eddie Redmayne! Love how he explains the karaoke thing!!
eddy redmayne is so adorable oml
I think Eddie is soooooo awesome
The interviewer doesnt even need to be there I'd just be happy watching them have a conversation together!
The best actors/singers in the movie by far!
The way Sam answered the question about Taylor Swift was so amazing.
I just wanna be best friends with them and sing songs all day
I lalalalalove Eddie Redmayne & Samantha Barks so much omg.
can we just talk about Sam's dimple please
Awww!! they're both just so cute!!!
Sam's whole 'Wake Awake' bit was brilliant. I love her beyond belief, she's too perfect.
I wish they were together!!
I love Eponine she’s my favorite character in les mis
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I can't express in words.
This is my favorite interview ever
'It's not like this, she has got words to it.'
Brilliant.
God they're just perfect together. I ship
They are so adorable! I love them!!!
Eddie Redmayne as Spiderman xDD
YES
O MY GOD
EDDIE LIKES KARAOKING TO MEATLOAF I'M DEAD
they laugh so adorablely..
She seems nice and very dedicated - love her accent - his too - both amazing in Les Mis
Thanks Sam ! I know have Wide Awake stuck in my head ! ;)
Holy fuck. Do you see how deep Sam's dimples are. wow.
Oh imagine the beautiful children these two would make.
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
You can slowly see Essie's face go back pale after he's been laughing😂
Eddie's*
I ship them
I feel like Taylor Swift wanted to audition just so that she gets to sing another heart break song (on my own) XD
That sounds like the most awesome combination.
both of them are just beautiful human beings :)
Eddies laugh!
She is sooo cute and the dimples oh goodness!
I've been watching a lot of these interviews about the movie and I've noticed something. Aaron Tveit is the only person who has never really promoted the movie in any way and he isn't even involved in interviews that have multiple cast members. I wonder why that is? Does he not like them or something or was he just busy?
can they just please be together in real life? they have such chemistry
Smiled like the whole way through
I have a feeling Samantha Barks and Jennifer Lawrence would be great friends.
ahaha my two favourite character and actors! yay!
Aww! They're so sweet! Wish i could meet them!
Omg they are too adorable. Shipping it sooooo hard.
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!
