\u201cThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d\u00a0is always looking for new talent, and what better place to look than the film and television sets right there in Hollywood? Actor\u00a0Christina Applegate\u00a0opened up about her past experience with the RHOBH casting team in an episode of her\u00a0\u201cMeSsy\u201d podcast, co-hosted by Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was asked to be a housewife for Beverly Hills,\u201d Applegate said. \u201cThey asked me to be one probably 10 years ago I would say. And what\u2019s funny is I ended up becoming really good friends with the executive producer of it because our kids went to school together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would Christina Applegate Have Been a Good \u2018Housewife\u2019?<\/h2>\n

Despite turning down the network\u2019s offer to join RHOBH, Applegate did end up asking her producer friend how he thought she\u2019d fare on the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, yeah, we asked you.\u2019 I said, \u2018Chris, now that you know me, would I have been a fun \u201cHousewife\u201d?\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018No, it would\u2019ve been the most boring s*** I\u2019ve ever seen in my life,’\u201d Applegate shared, explaining, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have shown up to any dinners. I would\u2019ve been in my sweatpants, and I\u2019d be lying in bed. What fun is that? No, none of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Applegate\u2019s doubts about how she would have done on the show, on paper she would have been just the right fit for RHOBH. Were she to join the cast a decade ago, she would have been in the mix right around seasons 3 and 4 which filmed and aired around 2013 and 2014. This means she would have been joining fellow child actors Kim and Kyle Richards on the series (which the Richards sisters were still on together).<\/p>\n

This also would have meant a high likelihood of Applegate being on the show around the same time as Yolanda Hadid and Brandi Glanville, two stars who made a big impact during only a handful of seasons on the show.<\/p>\n

After a decade has passed, Applegate is even less likely to join the RHOBH franchise now if she were asked again. The actor has taken a step away from any on-camera roles after her\u00a02021 multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Applegate spoke about the decision in a May 2023 interview with\u00a0Vanity Fair, telling the outlet, \u201cI can\u2019t even imagine going to set right now. This is a progressive disease. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to get worse. I can do voiceover stuff because I have to support my family and keep my brain working.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the same interview, Applegate revealed another big on camera opportunity she passed on during an earlier time in her career. She said, \u201cI [didn\u2019t] toy with the idea of [starring in] \u2018Legally Blonde\u2019 because it felt too fresh getting out of \u2018Married\u2026With Children\u2019. It was very similar on paper. I started to read it and I remember calling them and going, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s too similar. Can\u2019t do it.\u2019 Um, big f***ing mistake. I\u2019d have Witherspoon money! No, just kidding. You can\u2019t imagine anyone playing Elle Woods other than Reese Witherspoon. I would have completely screwed it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
