Which actors were almost cast for famous roles?

1.) Russell Crowe was almost cast as Aragorn for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He was was offered 10% of the Fellowship of the Ring profits. He told interviewers he turned down the role because he felt director Peter Jackson didn’t really want him on the set.

needless to say, he turned it down. And the role went to Viggo Mortensen instead. Could you have imagined it any other way?

2.) Gwyneth Paltrow was almost cast as Rose in Titanic.

The marvel actress was the last woman competing against Kate Winslet for the Titanic role. She stated she didn’t feel bitter at losing the role.

Ironically, Paltrow stole the role of Viola de Lesseps in Shakespeare in Love from Kate Winslet in 1998. Hows that for revenge?

3.) Emilia Clarke as Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades.

She turned down the role due to the excessive nude scenes. Even though she had been nude in game of thrones before. However, she was sick and tired of all the attention those scenes were getting and she didn’t want that to happen again.

4.) Justin Timberlake as Elton John in Rocketman.

Producer David Furnish, the producer of the film as well as Sir Elton John’s husband, nearly decided to cast the Timberlake for his portrayal of the singer in his 2001 video the train don’t stop there any more.

5.) Emma Watson as Mia in La La Land
