Will Smith is known for his stunning acting skills and, well, for the incident that happened at the Oscars with Chris Rocks. Lol! However, did you know that once, he was one of the frontrunners for a lead role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained but turned down the offer because of the amount of violence shown in the movie? Well, keeping aside the irony that we can’t unsee, keep reading to know more.
In a throwback interview, Will had explained why he didn’t take up the offer, and we are quite in shock at how years later, that same person can change so much.
In 2015’s Hollywood Reporter’s annual Actor Roundtable, Will Smith had explained why he had turned down Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, he said, “It was about the creative direction of the story. To me, it’s as perfect a story as you could ever want: a guy that learns how to kill to retrieve his wife that has been taken as a slave. That idea is perfect. And it was just that Quentin and I couldn’t see [eye to eye].”
