January Jones nearly left acting after failing pole dance auditions

London, June 1 (ANI): January Jones has revealed that she almost gave up acting after a terrible pole dancing audition for 'Coyote Ugly'.

The 'Mad Men' star admitted that she felt humiliated pretending to "perform" for producer Jerry Bruckheimer and left the embarrassing meeting with a plan to never audition again.

"It was my second audition I think ever and I had done the reading for the acting part and then Jerry Bruckheimer wanted me to come in and dance... They said, 'You're gonna dance to Prince's Kiss... You're gonna pole dance but there is no pole'," the Daily Express quoted the actress as telling the Hollywood Reporter.

"I kind of pretended there was a pole... and I just turned beet red. It was awful and he said something like, 'Honey, you did a great reading, but you've got no rhythm.'

"I called my agent and said I don't wanna do this anymore. This sucks," she said.

Jones has crossed paths with movie mogul Bruckheimer since the audition encounter, but she insists he has no memory of the pole dance.

"He has no recollection of it," she added. (ANI)
