Kate Winslet admits to hating Downey Jr's audition for The Holiday 

Kate recently appeared at Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show as she is promoting her new HBO series The Regime. When asked if she remembered Downey Jr's audition, Kate said, "I remember it extremely well. I really do." She further added, "We were told it was just a reading. 

I thought it was just a reading, like a fun reading of the script. I didn't know it was an audition for the part. I am so sorry you didn't get it. I'm sorry if I happened to be mean or rude to you in any way...you were sick, very sick and obsessively hand sanitizing." 

Elaborating more on the same, she said, "Robert Downey Jr then did an English accent but I thought it was an Australian accent." She continued, "I thought 'That's bad. That's not going to work. Who is going to tell him that sounds dreadful?"
