Hollywood stars have faced turning down roles at some point in their career. While some do not regret their decisions, some celebrities think it was the greatest regret of their lives. Halle Berry is one of the actors who wishes she had taken a particular role.
Opportunity To Star Alongside Keanu Reeves
Halle Berry had the opportunity to star opposite Keanu Reeves in the movie “Speed,” but she turned it down. In an interview during the promotion of “John Wick: Chapter 3,” she expressed regret about the decision, saying, “I was offered Speed before Sandra Bullock.” She added that she feels stupid for turning it down, and every time she watches the movie, she regrets the decision.
Role Of Annie Went To Sandra Bullock
The role that Berry refused, the bus driver Annie, went to Sandra Bullock and became the biggest break of her career. Although she feels stupid for turning down the role, Berry said that when she read the script, “the bus didn’t leave the parking lot.”
Berry’s Spectacular Hollywood Career
Despite her regret about turning down “Speed,” Halle Berry’s career has not suffered. She has starred in many projects that far surpassed the impact “Speed” would have had on her career. Her groundbreaking performance in “Monster’s Ball” brought her the Best Actress award in the 2002 Academy Awards, making her the first Black woman in history to win an Oscar since the ceremony began in 1929.
Upcoming Projects
Fans are eagerly waiting to see what Berry’s upcoming Netflix sci-fi movie, “The Mothership,” has in store for them. Although she wishes she had taken the role in “Speed,” Berry’s career has been remarkable, and she continues to be a prominent figure in Hollywood.
