Jada Pinkett Smith Auditioned For "Gotham" With A Shirtless Man On A Leash

Jada Pinkett Smith is the best and baddest part of Fox's Gotham and she landed the role in a way befitting her queenpin character, Fish Mooney. At a Gothan panel at PaleyFest Saturday, Pinkett Smith revealed her audition process:

The first time she met Cannon for an audition, Pinkett Smith said she showed up dressed in a long, flowing gown, with her short, black Mooney wig and a young man on a leash in tow. He was shirtless and had LIAR scrawled across his forehead in lipstick. "I said, 'Forget it, instead of talking about who Fish Mooney is, let me just show you,'" said Pinkett Smith. "I went Method." Thus, a monster was born.

Why she had a shirtless man and a leash at the ready is perhaps best left for another time.
