Good morning Phoenix family and friends! It's time once again for a top 10 Thursday!
Today's selection: Movie Roles that nearly made stars quit.
10: Daisy Ridley - Star Wars. The director told her that her performance was wooden. She nearly quit.
9: John Cena - 12 Rounds. The scene where he had to rappel down a skyscraper nearly made him throw in the towel.
8: Al Pacino - The Godfather. He became an outcast among the crew because they didn't like his performance. Francis Ford Coppola convinced him to stay.
7: Hayden Christiansen - Star Wars. Almost gave up because he didn't like his role. He nearly gave up acting after that.
6: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio - Abyss. Not only did she have to have CPR in a scene, she had to be pressed, pushed, slapped, and screamed at, all while laying on a cold metal floor. She stormed off the set when James Cameron said the scene had to be reshot due to a camera malfunction. However, she came back and reshot it.
5: Shelley Duvall - The Shining. Unknown to her, she set a Guinness World Record for the most takes of a scene. Stanley Kubrick wanted 127 takes of the scene where she would fend off her husband using a bat. After 100 takes, she was dehydrated and exhausted due to the crying and excessive stress levels. Her hair even began to fall out. Take 127 was perfect.
4: Carl Weathers - Rocky IV. It felt too real when he was thrown across the ring by Dolph Lindgren and he stormed off the set and was gone for 4 days. He was convinced by Sylvester Stallone to return and finished the film.
3: Lauren Cohan - Walking Dead: (I know - it's not a movie, but still...) The scene where she had to perform the emergency C section on Lori bothered her so much she discussed it with Steven Yeun (Glenn). After much consideration, she did the intense scene.
2: Zoe Saldana - Pirates of the Caribbean. As a struggling actress, she said people disrespected her due to her number on the call sheet thinking she wasn't important. She almost quit.
1: Michelle Rodriguez - The Fast and the Furious. The original vision for her character was much different, and she didn't think she could do the role. Fortunately, it was reworked.
Have a fangtastic day! <3 Brock V"""V
