'I had a tap on my shoulder and it was Julia Roberts.'
director Adam Shankman and producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, at a New York restaurant to talk about him potentially playing Corny Collins in the film."In the middle of the interview —it was an interview because I was trying to get the job — I had a tap on my shoulder and it was Julia Roberts.

She was the one who cemented me getting cast in that role."
