20 actors who almost had roles in our favorite films but life decided otherwise…
After Matthew McConaughey read the Titanic script, he said that he couldn’t act in such a boring film and that the movie was destined to fail. Today, Titanic is a classic film and McConaughey has probably regretted his decision at least several times. Many actors feel for Matthew since they’ve also refused to star in films that could have made them more popular and famous.
Uniq Beauties has decided to imagine what would’ve happened if different actors (who almost signed contracts) had starred in some of our favorite cult movies.
7. Matt Damon as Jake Sully (Avatar)
20th Century Fox wanted only famous actors to play in the movie since the budget was $237 million. Matt Damon was invited to take part in it, but the actor had to turn down the offer due to his workload.
Avatar turned out to be a box-office success and Matt cursed his decision to refuse James Cameron’s offer. “It’s the most significant role in my life I had to turn down,” says Damon.
