Actors audition for roles all the time, but the bigger name you become, the more roles are offered to you.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest A-list stars have turned down roles in movies that have become big box office players and even cult-classics, and some have expressed their regret in not accepting the role!
We previously rounded up 12 actors who nearly passed on what would become their most iconic roles. However, there are even more actors who did say “no thanks” to appearing in solid-gold hits.
For instance, someone turned down a role and wound up losing a $250 million payday! A pop icon had some regrets about passing on a chance to play Catwoman. One actress was even offered a chance to play Neo, a male role, in The Matrix!
So many stars, including several Oscar winners, also turned down a chance to star in a famous LGBTQ+ movie that was met with critical acclaim.
You’ll be surprised to see who was offered a chance to star in movies such as Legally Blonde and Forrest Gump and who passed on roles within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
