"There are so many parts that say, "Oh, so-and so is going to do that." And then they fell out. Or I was going do this, but I fell out, so this person jumps in," Chastain stated on Josh Horowitz's 'Happy Sad Confused’ podcast.

Jessica Chastain said, "It happens all of the time and it's never discussed because it's too embarrassing." David O. Russell is my favorite. He is my love and my best friend. I was offered "American Hustle", the Jennifer Lawrence part.

Jessica Chastain said that she wanted to do it. It was incompatible with Liv Ullmann's 'Miss Julie. That was something I had been attached too for a while and I love Liv Ullmann. It didn't work out so I said, "Sorry, there is conflict."

Chastain joked that it was a good thing the movie didn't do so well.

According to femalefirst.co.uk, the actress continued working with Liv on her new project 'Scenes From a Marriage. She believes things turned out well, especially because she played Rosalyn Rosenfeld as the wife of Irving Rosenfeld's conman character.

She said, "That's why that story is shared, because she's honestly like a goddess for me and I worship. All things happen for a reason, because Jennifer was way more than I would have been in that part.
