Noah Calhoun: George Clooney — Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling has been involved in acting since a very young age, but it was his work in The Notebook that made him truly famous. However, initially, it was George Clooney who was supposed to play this role. The actor almost started to take part in the shooting but refused at the last moment.
Clooney confessed that he had already gotten used to the role of Noah. But he eventually passed on that role because of Hollywood veteran Paul Newman, who played Noah in his golden age. Clooney realized that he doesn’t resemble Newman at all.
“He’s one of the handsomest guys you’ve ever seen. We met up (again) and I said, ’I can’t play you. I don’t look anything like you. This is insane.’”

I'm pretty certain Joseph gordolevitt wouldn't have been a good fit for Star Lord.

Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf in LOTR. He was offered a percentage that would have ultimately paid him . . . $750 million.
He didn't read the script beyond saying he didn't want to be on screen with a bunch of dwarfs.
Close friends said he never got over it, and essentially retired from acting.

Lish,
That's strange considering Sean Connery did a lot of wacky off the wall films throughout his career. Consider Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Sir Gwain and the Green Knight (odd af) Time Bandits with actual little people. Those were some odd choices for the former Bond ha ha.

#4 Portman is such a huge hypocrite. She wore her protest dress with the names of female directors at the Oscars when her own company employees only one...her. And as far as exploitation in the 90's? Don't make me laugh! Leon the Professional was the epitome of child exploitation and she signed off on it with her parents to launch her career. She's so typical of Hollywood celebrity. Dirty while pretending she's clean.
