Ever watchedAntz?
Famous actors appear to have a cheat code to leap out in front.
Romeo + Juliet / 20th Century Fox
Grab that helmet and put it on before your mind gets blown away!
Nicholas Hoult
Nicholas Hoult is no stranger to superhero films.
Speaking onHappy Sad Confused, the actor confirmed how disappointed he felt when he didnt get the gig.
X-Men: Apocalypse / 20th Century Fox
Yeah of course its an emotional blow, Hoult said.
And Rob is fantastic in that movie.
That was the right decision.
Josie and the Pussycats / 20th Century Fox
But also you get excited by the prospect.
The part in question was that of the mutant Rogue in 2000sX-Menmovie.
Speaking to theNew York Times, Cook admitted she made a huge misstep by turning down the film.
Dune / Warner Bros.
Instead of playing Rogue, Cook went on to portray Josie McCoy in 2001sJosie and the Pussycats.
While the film bombed at the box office, it turned into a cult classic years later.
Timothee Chalamet
Without question, Timothee Chalamet is one of the hottest rising stars in Hollywood.
Romeo + Juliet / 20th Century Fox
Incredible how all that stood between Chalamet (or Teller) as Lucius was Scotts Hulu subscription.
Claire Danes
Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio melted hearts in Baz Luhrmanns adaptation ofRomeo + Juliet.
Appearing on theArmchair Expertpodcast, Danes explained how she and DiCaprio shared the same agent then.
Captain America: The First Avenger / Paramount Pictures
She was offered the chance to read for Rose, but she decided not to pursue it.
The coveted part went to Chris Pine in the end.
Appearing onHappy Sad Confused, Stan admitted he was extremely close to landing the gig of Captain Kirk.
The Perfect Couple / Netflix
However, there was one film she turned down and regretted: 2003sLove Actually.
When Grant asked her which part it was, Kidman admitted she couldnt recall.
Henry Cavill
Before landing the role of Superman, Henry Cavill was seen as thealmostman of Hollywood.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout / Paramount Pictures
Again, that didnt go his way as he lost the part to Robert Pattinson.
Appearing onThe Graham Norton Show, Cavill put a positive spin on the experience and explained what happened.
Thats the rumor I heard.
And she wanted me to play the role, but it wasnt up to her.
And instead, a very talented actor played him instead.
