"I did audition for George Harrison. Who knows? I play bass, which was Paul's instrument. There are roles that you really, really want."
"But I find something else comes up and you do another job which you wouldn't have been able to do. I'm pretty good at moving on."
"You have your audition and after that it's out of your hands. If you're not the right person, there's nothing you could have done differently."
Asa Butterfield auditioned for the role of George Harrison in The Beatles biopics, which feature four films focusing on each band member. Joseph Quinn was cast as Harrison, while Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, and Barry Keoghan were cast as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, respectively. Butterfield expressed a wistful sentiment about losing the role, acknowledging that he often moves on from auditions. He also mentioned previously auditioning for Spider-Man, which ultimately went to Tom Holland. The films are produced by Sony and directed by Sam Mendes.
