Ceyair Wright revealed he fibbed about basketball skills to get role as LeBron James' son He stated: "So I was auditioning for something, and I remember looking over and in the waiting room there's a bunch of different projects being auditioned for at the same time. And I saw that they were auditioning for Space Jam 2, which was the title at the time. So I called my manager." His manager encouraged him to ask to audition, so Wright -- who started acting after appearing in a Tide commercial at age 7 -- did just that. And he was turned down: "[The casting director was] like, 'No, you're too old.' " Wright walked away disappointed but returned to the same building a few weeks later for a different audition. During that meeting, casting director Kim Coleman asked Wright if he played basketball. "And I was like, 'Oh yeah, I played basketball. I played varsity in my high school,' which was not true, but that's what I said," he admits now. "And so then, two days later, I got an email for the audition for Space Jam, and it was for the older brother this time." A few months and some dribbling practice later the role was Wright's. And luckily, he says, his natural athleticism and a basketball trainer helped make his little fib turn into a reality.
