In the hazy throwback that's over 20 years old, a young Richardson is seen entering the iconic audition room in front of three judges. At the time, the judges' panel was made up of Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson. It appears that Ritchson's good looks were immediately a show-stopper for Abdul.
"Sorry, Alan, can I just say before you start, thank you for putting a little smile on Paula’s face," said Cowell in the resurfaced clip. "God bless you for that."
"Now listen, I’m a professional, and it didn’t sway my decision … much," said Abdul.
