\"Kate<\/p>\n

Kate Winslet<\/a>, Titanic<\/p>\n

Kate doesn\u2019t necessarily regret the role as much as she\u2019s embarrassed by seeing herself on screen \u2013 and she wants a re-do.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single scene, I\u2019m like \u2018Really, really? You did it like that? Oh my God.\u2019 Even my American accent, I can\u2019t listen to it. It\u2019s awful. Hopefully it\u2019s so much better now. It sounds terribly self indulgent but actors do tend to be very self-critical. I have a hard time watching any of my performances, but watching Titanic I was just like \u2018Oh God, I want to do that again,\u2019\u201d she confessed to CNN<\/a> years ago.<\/p>\n

\"Burt<\/p>\n

Burt Reynolds<\/a>, Boogie Nights<\/p>\n

According to the Washington Post<\/a>, he was so unhappy with the movie, despite never having seen it, that he fired his agent afterward. He told Conan O\u2019Brien<\/a> that he had turned down the role seven times. It \u201cjust wasn\u2019t my kind of film,\u201d he said, adding it<\/a> \u201cmade me very uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds<\/a>, Green Lantern<\/p>\n

Ryan has been vocal about how he felt the movie did not work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Green Lantern, I don\u2019t think anyone ever figured out exactly what it was. It also fell victim to the process in Hollywood which is like poster first, release date second, script last. At the time, it was a huge opportunity for me so I was excited to try and take part in it,\u201d he said in 2016.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been there in that position as an actor where you do something that doesn\u2019t quite work. And I really wish someone from a gin company called me right after Green Lantern and was like, \u2018Hey, I got something funny you can do as an answer to that!\u2019\u201d he later added<\/a> to Jimmy Fallon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Harrison<\/p>\n

Harrison Ford<\/a>, Blade Runner<\/p>\n

Harrison has been very vocal about what ended up happening to the film, as well as his feelings about the movie in general.<\/p>\n

He discussed the voice-over that was added the movie<\/a>: \u201cI contested it mightily at the time. It was not an organic part of the film. When we came to the end of the film, Ridley had been relieved of the reins by the completion-bond company, and I was now working for the completion-bond company. God knows whose fingers were in the soup, but nobody involved in the process was an original member of the team. I was compelled by contract to do this voice-over, which I did in five or six different forms, all of them found wanting.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t like the movie one way or the other, with or without. I played a detective who did not have any detecting to do. In terms of how I related to the material, I found it very difficult. There was stuff that was going on that was really nuts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Winslet, Titanic Kate doesn\u2019t necessarily regret the role as much as she\u2019s embarrassed by seeing herself on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-195480","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
