Brad Pitt – The Bourne Series

There are not many actors who are as famous as Brad Pitt. He has starred in many big films of our time. Despite this, we should remember that he is still only a human being who makes mistakes. He turned down the role of Jason Bourne, which ultimately made Matt Damon an even bigger star. Pitt had to say no to it in favor of a movie called Spy Game. While it did not flop, the Bourne series did a lot better.

Eddie Murphy – Rush Hour

Have you ever seen the Rush Hour franchise? If not, you must have at least heard of them at one point or another. What we do know is that you are probably not at all familiar with Holy Man. Sadly, Eddie Murphy knows this better than anyone else. He went on to take on the latter project at a low point in his career. This movie did not do him any favors at all. We bet that he regrets his decision to pass up on the other project when it could have elevated his career once more. Too bad.
