So there you go, the back story of what happened in 2007. Daniels was an unknown music video star who was asked to dance by two big names in the industry: Maroon 5’s T Bone Burnett and American Recordings president David Anspaugh. She left the part after admitting that she didn’t care about the track.
You’ve probably already seen Stormy Daniels way before she took the world by, well, storm. Not many know that back in 2007, she was featured in the music video of Maroon 5’s “Wake Up Call” track, in which she played a pole dancer and a police officer. And apparently, she never expected to get the part.
“They asked me to dance around in front of a screen, and I said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know I was going to be dancing in the video,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, the part you’re auditioning for doesn’t have to dance’ — which is funny, because I ended up dancing in the video — ‘but the boys want to see you move around,'” Daniels told AVN of her experience attending the casting call.
What’s more, she even insulted the song, saying that it wasn’t danceable. “So they started playing this song, and I said, ‘This is the worst song to try to dance sexy to ever.’ And they were like, ‘Uhhh … that’s just our song,'” she added. And even though she confessed to disliking the track, she ended up being the star of the music video anyway. “But apparently I left a lasting impression,” she dished. “Because not only did they call me the next day to book me for the shoot, they actually gave me a bigger part.”
