15) John Travolta - Forrest Gump
Trending
John Travolta was handed the lead role of Forrest Gump, which he refused. However, it ended up starring Tom Hanks who gave an Academy Award-winning performance. It does seem curious how Travolta passed on that role, given Forrest Gump's phenomenal box office run, but Travolta's career also boasts hits like Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty, cementing himself in film history. The story of Forrest Gump remains cinema's most prized performance, and it is almost impossible to imagine how different the film would have been with Travolta in the lead.
