AceShowbiz - There are plenty of iconic roles that we can't really imagine anyone else playing them because the original actors have successfully portrayed them. However, many of those actors apparently were not even the first choice for the roles. While playing the characters might be a turning point for them, this revelation also means someone is having a deep regret for turning down those roles.

If only they didn't reject the roles, we might see different actor playing Neo in "The Matrix" instead of Keanu Reeves. In addition, we might see another actress taking on the iconic role of Elle Woods, a role in "Legally Blonde" which was made famous by Reese Witherspoon.

Among those stars who have mentioned about their mistakes in picking projects are Leonardo DiCaprio, Halle Berry, Matt Damon and Dustin Hoffman. Some thought the movie wasn't going nowhere, while some revealed that it was purely due to their misjudgements.
