10 Aktor Ini Tolak Main Film, Alasannya Nyeleneh Banget
Bukan karena bentrok jadwal atau masalah gaji, tapi lebih ke alasan-alasan yang bikin geleng-geleng kepala. Berikut ini daftar 7 aktor yang pernah menolak peran film dengan alasan yang cukup unik:
1. Will Smith Tolak The Matrix Karena Bingung

Will Smith awalnya ditawari jadi Neo di The Matrix, tapi dia malah nolak karena gak ngerti konsep filmnya! Dia bilang sutradaranya waktu itu ngejelasin dengan gaya yang terlalu abstrak. Akhirnya, Will milih main di Wild Wild West (yang malah flop), dan Neo jatuh ke Keanu Reeves.
2. Sean Connery Gak Ngerti The Lord of the Rings

Connery ditawari peran Gandalf di The Lord of the Rings, dengan bayaran fantastis, termasuk persentase dari keuntungan film. Tapi dia bilang gak paham jalan ceritanya dan naskahnya terlalu membingungkan. Bayangin deh, kalau dia tahu film ini bakal jadi trilogi legendaris, mungkin ceritanya beda.
3. Gwyneth Paltrow Ogah Main di Titanic

Sebelum Kate Winslet, peran Rose sempat ditawari ke Gwyneth Paltrow. Tapi dia tolak karena terasa bukan proyek yang cocok. Gak dijelasin detailnya, tapi keputusan itu jelas bikin dia melewatkan salah satu film paling ikonik sepanjang masa.
4. Matt Damon Gak Mau Syuting di Luar Kota

Matt Damon pernah hampir jadi jagoan di Avatar, bahkan ditawari 10 persen dari keuntungan film yang nilainya bisa sampai ratusan juta dolar. Tapi dia tolak karena udah janji syuting The Bourne Ultimatum, dan gak mau tinggal berbulan-bulan di lokasi syuting yang jauh.
5. Michelle Pfeiffer Takut Film Batman Terlalu Gelap

Michelle sempat ragu buat main di Batman Returns karena ngerasa dunia Batman versi Tim Burton terlalu suram dan aneh. Untungnya dia akhirnya berubah pikiran dan jadi Catwoman legendaris. Tapi alasan awalnya cukup menarik juga, ya?
6. Josh Hartnett Gak Mau Jadi Superhero

Sebelum era MCU meledak, Josh Hartnett ditawari peran Batman dan Superman! Tapi dia menolak karena gak mau dikotak-kotakkan jadi aktor film superhero. Sekarang, dia bilang sih agak nyesel.
7. Joaquin Phoenix Gak Suka Komitmen Jangka Panjang

Sebelum jadi Joker, Joaquin sempat ditawari peran Doctor Strange di Marvel. Tapi dia mundur karena gak suka ide harus main di banyak film dan promosi berulang-ulang. Dia lebih suka proyek satu film yang intens. Hasilnya, dia jadi Joker yang menang Oscar. Jadi keputusan yang mungkin bener juga.
8. Bruce Willis - Ghost

Bruce Willis, sang jagoan laga, menolak peran dalam film romantis Ghost (1990) karena gak paham dengan konsep cerita hantu yang dipadukan dengan romansa. Peran tersebut pun dimainkan oleh Patrick Swayze dan menjadi film yang sangat sukses.
9. Liam Neeson - James Bond

Liam Neeson hampir saja menjadi James Bond, tapi tunangannya saat itu, Natasha Richardson, gak merestui. Liam pun memilih cintanya dan menolak peran tersebut. Peran James Bond pun jatuh ke tangan Pierce Brosnan.
10. Jason Momoa - Guardian of the Galaxy

Jason Momoa lelah dengan peran yang mengharuskannya tampil topless di banyak film. Saat ditawari peran Drax dalam Guardian of the Galaxy, dia pun menolaknya. Peran Drax pun dimainkan oleh Dave Bautista.
