An uncomfortable screen test for the 2004 epic Troy made Diane Kruger feel 'like meat' after a studio exec made her answer questions like 'Why do you think you should be playing this?' while in full costume.
Diane Kruger reveals that she felt like meat during a screen test for the Iliad-inspired film Troy. The model-turned-actor has had a long career in Hollywood, with notable roles in the Nicolas Cage-led National Treasure, Quentin Tarantino's alternate-history war film Inglourious Basterds, and most recently the 2022 action film The 355 as a German secret agent.
Kruger starred in the sword-and-sandal epic Troy as the famed ancient Greek mythological character Helen of Troy, a woman renowned for her beauty whose kidnapping led to the Trojan War, as depicted in Homer's story. She was joined by Ocean's 11 star Brad Pitt as the famed hero Achilles, The Lord of the Rings' Orlando Bloom as Helen's secret lover Paris, and X-Men 2's Brian Cox as King Agamemnon.
"I remember testing for Helen of Troy and having to go to the studio head in costume. And I felt like meat, being looked up and down and was asked questions like, 'Why do you think you should be playing this?" Hollywood industry insiders explain that screen tests are generally filmed and then later reviewed by pertinent members of the production. It is not a typical experience for an actor to have a personal wardrobe test for a studio executive.
In an explicit scene from Kruger's upcoming psychological series Swimming with Sharks, her character had to please her sickly boss by performing a sex act on a young female nurse. The actor relates the scene to her experiences and observations over the years as an actor in the industry saying,"Shooting that scene was just a reminder of how disgusting and acceptable bad behavior was at a certain time in our society, not just Hollywood.
