10 FAMOUS ACTORS WHO MISSED OUT ON THEIR PERFECT ROLE

Who will play a specific role in a movie is the question that strikes the minds of producers and directors before they initiate a movie project. The hunches are dependent upon how much successful a celebrity is and how well he / she can perform in a role, fulfilling all of the character requirements.It is, doubt, an irritating factor for us when we expect an actor to be playing a specific role, then the news comes that he has been replaced with another actor. This usually happens due to various reasons, such as behind the screen issues, payment problems and cancellation of the movie etc. Here are 10 famous actors who missed out on their perfect role.

10. Charlie Hunnam

Charlie Hunnam is a famous actor and much anticipated celebrity of the era. It is absolutely right for us to say that Charlie has amused us with his excellent performance and wonderful movies, but this talented actor has been replaced in the television gig Sons of Anarchy, although the reasons are unknown for this decision taken by the director.

9. Willem Dafoe

We all know this well performing actor with the name of Joker. Definitely Willem, for me, has been the most amazing on-screen joker and an excellent performer indeed. But in the various upcoming movie projects, this 60 years old guy has been replaced and movie makers say that his time has come to an end.

8. Stuart Townsend

Stuart Townsend, an amazing and world famous actor who got popularity with his all time favorite movie The Lord of the Rings. In an upcoming Hollywood movie, the producer replaced Stuart Townsend with Viggo Mortensen. It is said that the movie will be a remake of the lord of the rings, but reasons for this decision are said to be the budget problems.

7. Al Pacino

Al Pacino deserves to be admired for his awesome acting and dedication towards his acting career. So many times, this multi-talented actor saw ups and downs in his career but he never gave up trying more and more. Even when so many times Al Pacino has been removed from some very serious and well budgeting movies, he kept on working hard. His luck, a filmmaker of Bengamin Bratt replaced Al Pacino with another actor. He said Al Pacino is not suitable for the character so he made a better replacement.

6. Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is also known as James Bond of the era. He is a highly brave and courageous actor, who never hesitates to experiment or take risks in his career. What a luck, Michael Fassbender has been removes from Daniel Craig’s version and he is said to be not fit enough for the role. But I believe the doors of successful tomorrow are still open for this superb actor so he shouldn’t give up trying.

5. Benicio Del Toro

Some people call him a charming and iconic actor, while others name him the star of darkness. Whatsoever you may call Benicio Del Toro but it is absolutely true that he has seen various downs in his life. His well performing and charming appeal sometimes is not enough to keep him intact in a project. He has recently been replaced by J.J. Abram in an adventurous and action movie.

4. Russell

Russell is the one and only man who played the role of a snake in a movie and got too much success. Don’t get confused this was not a real-life snake but a kind of solid snake. The paramount of his success went down when Russell was replaced by Hideo in the mega-project of his life, Metal Gear. The analysis say that this movie could give a new successful turn to Russell’s acting career but unfortunately it couldn’t happen.

3. Ryan Gosling

He is one of the gorgeous and amazing romantic actors of television and movies. For the first time, Ryan showed off his acting skills in a few American soaps, but soon The Love Bones got released and his professional life took a new direction of success. Royan has recently been replaced by Mark in one of his very important movies. The actor who became his replacement is Mr. Gosling.

2. Will Smith

The remarkable actor of the era, Will Smith has been fired out from Oldboy. The director, Mr. Steven took this decision as he says Will asked for a very high price for the movie which he was unable to manage. I believe this movie could be a chance for Will to touch the heights of success but unfortunately things couldn’t go the way we thought them to be.

1. Clint Eastwood

It is quite tough for them, sometimes, to decide which actor or actress will actually be the part of their upcoming movies. Clint Eastwood name needs no introduction; he is a well empowered and extremely talented actor.

Clint has always been a challenge for his rivals but what luck, he was himself replaced from one of his movies. Clint, being a serious gunslinger, could manage to keep up the spirit and move on, but the companions say that internally he was sad about losing the project.

He began it in May 1800 but may have left it unfinished when he learned that François Gérard had been commissioned before him to paint a portrait of the same model (Gerard’s portrait was completed in 1802); on the other hand many David portraits have the same bare background. The pose of a reclining figure looking back over her shoulder was adopted in 1814 by Ingres for his Grande Odalisque. It is now in the Louvre.

It depicts a city guard moving out, led by Captain Frans Banning Cocq and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch. For much of its existence, the painting was coated with a dark varnish which gave the incorrect impression that it depicted a night scene, leading to the name Night Watch. This varnish was removed only in the 1940s. The painting is on display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

6. Girl with a Pearl Earring

The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterworks and as the name implies, uses a pearl earring for a focal point. Today the painting is kept in the Mauritshuis gallery in The Hague. It is sometimes referred to as “the Mona Lisa of the North” or “the Dutch Mona Lisa”.

5. Guernica

Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso. It was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on 26 April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Paris International Exposition at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris.

4. The Creation of Adam

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, at the commission of Pope Julius II, is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. The ceiling is that of the large Chapel built within the Vatican in Rome. Central to the ceiling decoration are nine scenes from the Book of Genesis. Among the last to be completed was the Creation of Adam in which God the Father breathes life into Adam, the first man. The Creation of Adam is one of the famous paintings of all time and has been the subject of countless of references and parodies.

3. The Last Supper

The Last Supper is the final meal that, according to Christian belief, Jesus shared with His Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The Last Supper is commemorated by Christians on Maundy Thursday. Moreover, The Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for the Eucharist, also known as “Holy Communion” or “The Lord’s Supper”.

2. The Arnolfini Marriage

The Arnolfini Portrait is an oil painting on oak panel dated 1434 by the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck. It is also known as The Arnolfini Wedding, The Arnolfini Marriage, The Arnolfini Double Portrait or the Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife, among other titles. The painting is a small full-length double portrait, which is believed to represent the Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife, presumably in their home in the Flemish city of Bruges. It is considered one of the most original and complex paintings in Western art history. Both signed and dated by van Eyck in 1434, it is, with the Ghent Altarpiece by the same artist and his brother Hubert, the oldest very famous panel painting to have been executed in oils rather than in tempera. The painting was bought by the National Gallery in London in 1842.

1. Mona Lisa

The most famous painting of all time, the Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance in Florence. He began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 or 1504 and finished it shortly before he died in 1519. The painting is named for Lisa del Giocondo, a member of a wealthy family of Florence. In 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian patriot who believed the Mona Lisa should be returned to Italy. After having kept the painting in his apartment for two years, Peruggia was finally caught when he attempted to sell it to the directors of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Today, the Mona Lisa hangs again in the Louvre in Paris where 6 million people see the painting each year.
