Zack Sharf Digital News Director John Leguizamo recently revealed to Business Insider some of the roles he regrets turning down the most throughout his career. They include Stanley Tucci’s role as Nigel in “The Devil Wears Prada,” Robin Williams’ voice role in “Happy Feet” and Vince Vaughn’s role in the 2005 action movie “Mrs. and Mrs.
Smith.” Vaughn starred opposite Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in the latter film . “I had my reasons. I mean, they’re stupid, but I had my reasons,” Leguizamo said about these decisions, adding that it was a salary concern that resulted in him turning down “Mr.
and Mrs. Smith.” The actor said he was offered to work for scale on the film, while Pitt and Jolie were getting a $20 million payday. Reports have surfaced over the years that it was Pitt who got $20 million, while Jolie earned $10 million.
“For ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ it was because they were paying them $20 million and they were going to pay me scale.
I felt dissed, and they probably weren’t dissing me, but I felt dissed,” Leguizamo said. “Sometimes when you’re a person of color, you’re so used to being dissed that you think you’re being dissed, and sometimes you’re not being dissed. So that’s what happens, and you have to go to a lot of therapy to fix that.” Leguizamo seems aware that Pitt and Jolie were offered millions of more dollars than him to star in “Mrs.
& Mrs. Smith” because of their A-list careers fronting blockbuster films, but that didn’t stop him from feeling disrespected in the moment. As for “Happy Feet,” the animated musical centering on Penguins in Antarctica, Leguizamo already had a hit animated franchise on his hands with the “Ice Age” movies and said: “I don’t want to be doing all these ice movies.
