When you're a really successful actor, you must get offered tons of parts that you just can't or don't want to take for whatever reason, and most of the time you probably don't have many regrets about that.
Sometimes you do, though. Let Matt Damon tell you.
Google estimates his net worth at somewhere around $170 million, which is nothing to sneeze at. In a new interview, though, Matt has revealed just how much more that number could have been.
And not only that — he was offered a cut of the entire profit. Matt told GQ, "Jim Cameron offered me Avatar. And when he offered it to me, he goes, 'Now, listen. I don't need anybody.'"
"'But if you take the part, I'll give you ten percent of...'" Matt said he was offered. When asked to clarify if he was offered 10% of the film's profits (which brought in about $2.78 billion), Matt agreed.
He said, "I don't want to hear it, I honestly don't want to hear it. I do like the fact that I'm allowed to say with pride I'm the dumbest actor of all time. I'm like the worst businessman."
