Alfie Allen's real-life sister was originally offered the role of Yara (Alfie's character Theon's sister) in Game of Thrones, but ended up turning it down because of the simulated sexual acts she'd then be doing with her actual brother. .

"At the time, it was difficult for me to jump into a foreign-language performance,” Bardem said of being offered the role in Minority Report, which ended up going to Colin Farrell.

He also didn't want to be known as "the Alien Movie Guy," though refusing the role in the hugely successful film became a quick regret.

They sent the script to Bullock with that information, but she wasn't interested in the role, so they didn't change the script and ended up going with Keanu Reeves.

This was because she didn't want to do another romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, saying she just "didn't have it in her" after filming Romeo + Juliet.

He then said he would never play a gay character because he felt his insecurities would keep him from diving into the role.

"My friend, who had just spoken to Gloria Steinem, said that Gloria Steinem took Leonard DiCaprio to a Yankees game, I believe, and said, 'Please don't do this movie.

DiCaprio had meetings for all three films, but didn't really want to take any of them, saying he wasn't ready to "take that dive." When asked if he'd ever play a superhero, DiCaprio said "you never know" and that superheroes were becoming more complex characters, perhaps suggesting he turned these roles down because he felt they weren't complex.

Well, it wasn't Graham herself who turned down the role, but actually her parents.  Director Michael Lehmann said, "She was 16 or 17.

Haddish turned down the role because it required her to be topless and engage in a simulated sex act that involved "baby batter" (in Tiffany's words) going on the character's face.

The role ended up going to Lucy Liu.

Golding originally didn't want to take the role, as he was working as a presenter and had never actually acted before
