10 Actors Who Turned Down Movies For Ridiculous Reasons

1. Lauryn Hill €“ Sorry Hollywood, I Don't Like How Marketable I Am Right Now

Dpp 00013 Imagine Lauryn Hill as a Charlie's Angel. Not quirky enough? Ok. How about Marie in The Bourne Identity? Or Trinity in The Matrix? God, that would have made the Matrix extra awesome. Carrie Ann Moss was awesome but Lauryn would have been extra. She turned down all three? Why? A source close to her said, "I think Lauryn grew to despise who Lauryn Hill was. Not that she despised herself as a human being, but she despised the manufactured international-superstar magazine cover girl who wasn't able to go out of the house looking a little tattered on a given day....And then one day she said, 'F**k it.' " We haven't heard from her since.
