Actor Luke Hemsworth has spoken about how he felt “stung” when he missed out on the titular role in ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story.’

Luke shared: “I’ve definitely auditioned for Solo, Han Solo. I really wanted that. That one really hurt more than others because I wanted it so much.

“You develop a thick skin fairly quickly because more often than not you’re getting turned down.”

Luke also confessed he didn’t enjoy the experience of auditioning for the ‘Star Was’ movie, describing it as an “alien environment”.

He told news.com.au: “The nature of auditions is you never get feedback. They’re usually pretty weird. You’re just in a chair. It’s really hard.

“Confidence is sometimes … It’s bull***t. It’s a bravado. You’re pretending, you’re just trying to get through a performance that doesn’t look like you’re s***ting yourself.

“Everyone is just sitting there waiting for you to do something cool. You quickly have to develop a thick skin otherwise you fall apart.”
