Julie Andrews Couldn't Be Cast In 'Wolf Of Wall Street' Because She Was 'Too Stoned'

I bet that was a headline you didn't think you'd ever read.

But I promise there is a very good explanation for it, and if you read on, you'll find out why the magnificent Julie Andrews couldn't be in the movie.

Martin Scorsese’s 'The Wolf of Wall Street' was a masterpiece.

Paramount Pictures

Leonardo DiCaprio was magnificent in the role, and although he didn't win an Oscar for it, it will go down in history as one of his best roles.

The movie, which already has amazing actors, almost had one other iconic actor.

It was none other than Julie Andrews.

But she had a very good reason why she rejected the role. She had a big surgery!

What role was she up for?

Paramount Pictures

Aunt Emma, who was related to Margot Robbie’s Naomi.

I'm sure she would have blown us away.

Andrews had this to say about why she turned down the role:

"I had an operation. I'm a bionic woman. I have a titanium ankle. I was so truly stoned from all the drugs that I had to take just to take the pain away."

Poor her!
