In a new interview, Matt shared that he did actually audition before turning down the opportunity to be in the film. Get the scoop on why he turned it down inside… “I recorded it on my own, played a bunch of different Kens — and I dressed differently for all of them,” he told Vanity Fair of his audition. “I recorded the lines of the other person’s dialogue on my recorder and then gave myself space to respond.” However, after speaking with director Greta Gerwig, he ultimately decided that he didn’t want to do it, as he didn’t want to “spend extensive time away from his family,” the mag said.
