Johny Lever’s Daughter: When Jamie Lever was informed that the character was bold and not humorous like her typical roles, things took a troubling turn. When she inquired about what she needed to do, the request came.
Jamie Lever, the daughter of actor Johny Lever, recently revealed a terrifying experience from her early days of career that left her feeling frightened. The comedian and performer disclosed that someone posing as an international film director had once targeted her. A promising audition offer swiftly evolved into something unsettling. Jamie clarified that this occurred when she was acting on her own behalf and had no management at the time. An unexpected message came as her number had made rounds among casting agents. She was informed that a video call would be used for the audition. She was instructed to improvise for the part and no script was given. The other individual kept his camera off and said he was travelling when she joined the call.
What Jamie was told to do?
Jamie said, “The person who was posing as a director said, ‘I am in transit so I can’t switch on my video but this is an international film we are casting for and you fit well in the part. But there are a few things that we want to test’.”
Things took a disturbing turn when…
When she was informed that the character was bold and not humorous like her typical roles, things took a troubling turn. When she inquired about what she needed to do, the request came.
“They said that you imagine there is a 50-year-old man in front of you and you are trying to woo this man, and eventually, there is an intimate scene. I said, ‘I am not very comfortable with this. When there is a script I will follow that’…”
“They said, ‘There is no script, it is improvised so if you want to strip or if you want to say something or if you want to do something else, feel free to do that’.”
Jamie could sense something wrong when she…
Jamie realised something wasn’t right when the word “strip” came up. “I said ‘Strip? No one told me about that. I am not comfortable doing this’. They said, ‘But this is a very big project and we really want to cast you, it’s a big opportunity for you’. I said, ‘But sir, if you are expecting me to strip on this video call, I am not comfortable doing this and I wasn’t informed about it’. Then I said, ‘I don’t even feel comfortable talking to you right now’ and then I quickly switched off the video.”
Jamie realised how risky the situation could have been after she hung up the call.
