It seems that we always hear these stories, Sean Connery is the king of turning down big-time roles, he turned down Lord Of The Rings, and in fact, he also turned down The Matrix. Even Will Smith turned down The Matrix.
But enough talk! We move on to Brad Pitt now.
And those two things would be: a potential reunion between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and the fourth Matrix.
Recently, Brad Pitt was at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where he talked about turning down the role of Neo.
"I'll give you one, only one, because I really believe it was never mine. It's not mine. It's someone else's and they go and make it. I really do believe in that. I really do. But I did pass on The Matrix. I took the red pill."
The Matrix's producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, has shared before that Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio and even Sandra Bullock (as a female Neo) were all considered for the role before it was given to Keanu Reeves.
But the movie still worked out, so that's all that really matters.
