That’s failure! The worst roles of Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Elijah Wood and other stars

In fact, Cruz is good as Jack Reacher. But there is one discrepancy. In Lee Child’s novel, on which the film is based, Reacher is 195 centimeters tall and weighs about 100 kilograms. Cruise’s character is a hulking giant. Reacher kills in one hit. It’s like The Mountain from Game of Thrones! But they decided to invite Tom Cruise, whose height is only 170, into the role. And the actor apparently does not look threatening.

In Little Fingers, Oldman played … a midget! The actor had to walk on his knees during filming! An interesting fact is that Peter Dinklage, whose height is 135 centimeters, also played in the same film. Also wondering why he didn’t get the lead role?

No, we don’t think Denise Richards is stupid or that nuclear physicists can’t be sex bombs. It’s 2017 and anyone can be a nuclear physicist. But one thing is certain: physicists usually don’t go to work in a tank top and ultra-short shorts.

are you serious? Elijah is one of the nicest and friendliest guys in Hollywood. Yes, he is a talented actor, but in “Hooligans” Wood did not play his character perfectly. Watching this drama, you can’t help but think that someone more “dissolute” would have been better suited for the role.

Keanu is undoubtedly an impeccable actor. But there are unfortunate examples where Reeves clearly did not fit into the given framework. An example of this is the role of vampire hunter Jonathan Harker. For a moment, the character had to have a British accent – that was required by Francis Ford Coppola. But Reeves clearly could not cope with this task. Gary Oldman, who played Dracula, must have been completely out of his depth when choosing a partner.

Robin Hood is an iconic British character of all time. And who was chosen for this role in the film? Kevin Costner’s Mister California! Costner did not portray the shrewd hero of folklore, but an indomitable con artist. Why the hell didn’t they cast a Brit in the lead role? For example, Sean Bean…

Wait, you seriously cast Irish Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great? Farrell is a brilliant actor, but the character clearly didn’t fit him. Everything was bad from start to finish. And the dandy wig certainly didn’t help.

The remake of Hitchcock’s thriller is done rather strangely. For the main role, the creators could have invited someone like Andrew Garfield, but the choice fell on the comedian Vince. Well, he wasn’t a famous buffoon back then, but unfortunately he couldn’t play the role convincingly and make his character as scary as the original version.

Poor Hayden was a really decent actor. But one day … he accepted a role that changed his life – for the worse. For his work in the saga, Christensen was recognized as the worst young actor in Hollywood in the last 10 years! He looked awkward on screen. Everything was so bad that the main villain of the galaxy Darth Vader, which Anakin turns into, became an opportunity for jokes, because the audience knew that the awkward Hayden Christensen was hiding under the armor.
