James and Oliver Phelps are most famous for the role of Fred and George Weasley in films about Harry Potter. The twin brothers were almost inseparable throughout the saga, and even some other mother could distinguish them from each other. Moreover, it seems, and during the casting of actors perceived as a whole, since it was not decided in advance, which of them would play Freda, and who George.
In the last episode of its podcast Normal Not Normal, the Felps talked with a colleague on Pecterian Evan Lynch (Moon Lavgud), and during the conversation it turned out that the distribution of twins in the roles occurred literally in minutes before the start of the filming.
"Five minutes before the alleged start, we still had no idea who of us Fred, and who George. Therefore, we asked Janet Hudson about this, which was the main casting director, and she decided that we were joking, "James told.
Obviously, no one wondered who from the brothers will play this or that role, and the casting director even had to briefly discuss it with Joan Rowling and director Chris Columbus.
"They looked at each other, somehow discussed a little. If that, we talk about a 20-second discussion. And then Janet returned and said who of us would be by whom, "added James.
It is curious that still does not have the slightest concept that the creators of the film discussed and what factor has become determining when deciding, which of them will be Fred, and who George. Both suggest that roles were distributed randomly.
