00:00Eminem has almost been in a bunch of action movies, like Southpaw.
00:03After he earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of a white rapper from Detroit in 8 Mile,
00:07the lead role in Southpaw was actually written with Eminem in mind.
00:10And he was very close to starring in it.
00:12But a few weeks before he needed to begin training, he bowed out to focus on his music.
00:16So instead, we got Jake Gyllenhaal and the Marshall Mathers LP too.
00:19Russell Crowe was actually the first choice to play Wolverine in the X-Men movies,
00:23but the role went to Hugh Jackman.
00:24And Liam Neeson could have been one of our James Bonds.
00:27But his then-girlfriend at the time, now late wife Natasha Richardson,
00:31said she wouldn't marry him if he took it.
00:32Blake Lively was originally cast as Jennifer in Jennifer's Body before Megan Fox,
00:36but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts with Gossip Girl.
00:40Kate Hudson, Kirsten Dunst, Natalie Portman, Claire Danes, Scarlett Johansson,
00:43and Juliette Lewis were all in line to play Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada.
00:47Rachel McAdams actually turned down the role three times.
00:51Anne Hathaway was weirdly their ninth choice to play.
