Many actors and actresses have had film roles they regretted at the time or later in their careers. Whether it was an uninteresting role, a box-office flop, a bad movie or a toxic work environment, here are 12 actors who wouldn’t do it all over again!
Kristen Stewart (Twilight)
Kristen Stewart strongly questioned the film’s story and characters. What’s more, her role in Twilight didn’t win her any praise, as she was named the worst actress.
George Clooney (Batman & Robin)
While Batman has been reprised several times in the cinema, George Clooney doesn’t seem to have inherited the best version of the role. Indeed, the Batman he played was considered both ridiculous and humorous. Some even believe that this version completely ruined the character!
Kate Winslet (Titanic)
Kate Winslet regrets the way she played her character. In particular, her false American accent, even though she is of British origin.
Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra)
Since Channing Tatum was new to the movie business, he allegedly signed with a production company that forced him to star in a film he had no interest in! Indeed, the actor was never optimistic about the film and never wanted to be part of it.
Jessica Alba (Fantastic 4)
Jessica Alba doesn’t regret the film as such, but her experience on the set, where she experienced a lot of sexism.
Viola Davis (The Help)
Although this film was a great success, it was also severely criticized. Viola Davis didn’t like being part of a film in which a member of the black community was poorly represented, in favor of the white heroine.
Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern)
This film is definitely not a project Ryan Reynolds will be proudly wearing on his resume. This feature film was a major cinematic failure and didn’t win the hearts of superhero fans.
Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey)
Dakota Johnson says she wouldn’t reprise her role if she had it to do over again. Jamie Dornan seems to have fewer regrets, even if he shares his partner’s opinion to varying degrees.
Jennifer Aniston (Leprechaun)
Jennifer Aniston began acting long before the popular Friends series. The actress played a young heroine in the humorous horror film Leprechaun. It was so bad… she was afraid the role would destroy her acting career! What’s more, she can’t sit down and watch the film today, she thinks it’s so bad.
Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music)
The classic The Sound of Music was no joy for Christopher Plummer. In his opinion, the film was far too sentimental and his character was boring. In fact, he kindly dubbed the film “The Sound of Mucus”.
Alec Guinness (Star Wars)
Alec Guinness has reportedly agreed to play himself in Star Wars on condition that he does no promotional work for the film after shooting. What didn’t he like? His character’s boring, banal lines!
Robert Pattinson (Twilight)
Robert Pattinson has revealed that he hates Twilight too, and that if he hadn’t starred in it, he definitely wouldn’t have been a fan.
