Christina Applegate along with more Hollywood stars turned down once-in-a-lifetime movie roles during their careers.
‘1923’ actor Harrison Ford talks becoming a star during a time when movies had huge impact on culture.Sally Field turned down the opportunity to be in the iconic trio seen in"The First Wives Club" andJohn Travolta was originally slated to appear in"Forrest Gump" before Tom Hanks was cast in the starring role. Steven Spielberg wanted Harrison Ford to star in"Jurassic Park" before the actor turned down the opportunity.
Matthew McConaughey once read for the role as Jack in"Titanic" before the part eventually went to Leonardo DiCaprio."After we left, you know, it was one of those ones where they, like, followed me and when we got outside they were like, ‘That went great.' I mean, kind of like hugs. I really thought it was going to happen. It did not."
Fans know the part ultimately went to Kate Winslet, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her work in the 1997 hit. Travolta reportedly turned down the"Forrest Gump" offer to star in Quentin Tarantino’s iconic"Pulp Fiction.""Forrest Gump" reached massive success with Hanks earning an Academy Award in 1995 for the role and the film won best picture the same year."Jurassic Park" could have looked entirely different with Harrison Ford as Dr. Alan Grant.
"The story’s been out there, but I wasn’t actually offered it, the script came to me," Applegate said at the time."But at that time, I had just gotten off of and I felt like it was too close to what I had just been doing and I was very interested in removing myself from that."
