Trending

Robert Redford was offered the role of Clark Kent in the 1978 Superman film. He declined the offer because Superman was a far cry from the more realistic roles he sought to embody. Christopher Reeve took over the role, making it iconic. Redford turned down Superman, but he certainly didn't allow that to hurt his career. He went on to become one of the greatest actors and directors in Hollywood and would forever be etched in movie history with films like The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
