With the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film adaptation set to hit the big screen on Valentine's Day next year, "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale recalls the time when she auditioned for the Anastasia Steele role.

During her recent conversation with MTV News, Hale revealed that she got close to being selected for the role, and she described her audition experience as awkward and "very uncomfortable."

"I was sort of one of those things where you just had to go for it or your're gonna look lame - hopefully, I didn't look lame," Hale explained.

The 25-year-old actress and singer added that she didn't do any scene from the erotic bestselling book but she read some "pretty steamy dialogue."

Despite the racy plot of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Hale added that she auditioned for the role to try "something a little different." It's definitely a far cry from her previous roles!

Meanwhile, another young star, Chloe Bridges, also revealed how she auditioned for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie female lead role.

"There were three pages of sides that I was going to audition with. I read them and then was like, I really can't do this," the "Carrie Diaries" actress shared during her Cosmopolitan magazine interview.

Like all the other actresses who once hoped to play the Anastasia Steele character, the part was eventually won by Dakota Johnson. Johnson is the daughter of Hollywood veterans Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.

There were a good number of actors and actresses who tried to vie for the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the steamy film adaptation. Even before Jamie Dornan was cast for the kinky businessman character, Christian Grey, "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam was originally cast to play the role but he eventually backed out due to conflict of schedule, reports say.

Hale is now putting her efforts on her music career, having recently released her country album called "Road Between" in June. Her "Pretty Little Liars" stint is presently on its fifth season.
