Gwen Stefani is known and celebrated for her Grammy Award–winning music. But she's dabbled in a bit of acting, too, and once apparently contended for a movie role that ultimately went to Angelina Jolie.
Even those who weren't old enough to watch PG-13 films in the mid-aughts will probably recognize this one. Way back in 2005, Angelina played one half of the murderous titular couple in Mr. & Mrs. Smith — which, despite mixed reviews from critics, will forever be remembered as the project that established her now-former relationship with Brad Pitt.
Anyway, at the time, Gwen was launching a solo career post–No Doubt and moving on from brief big screen cameos to more serious work in Hollywood, like Martin Scorsese's acclaimed 2004 drama The Aviator.
Well, Gwen recently revealed during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she also auditioned for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I personally found this trivia tidbit thrilling, even though it's hard to imagine the character as anyone but Angelina.
