10 Deleted Stars That Were Bigger Than The Final Movie
2. Jennifer Lawrence - Dumb And Dumber To
There was a time when rubber-faced gurnmeister Jim Carrey was one of the biggest stars on the planet - unfortunately, those days, if you're to believe the latest box office figures, are over. As every older generation must pass the baton of fame over to the new, so Carrey's had to relinquish his fame and hand it to a fresh crowd, chief among them potentially the biggest star in the world right now - Jennifer Lawrence. As a fan of the original Dumb And Dumber movie, Lawrence purportedly filmed scenes for its sequel, in which she played a young Fraida Felcher opposite Carrey's Lloyd as a younger man. When the film appeared in cinemas, however, Lawrence was suspiciously absent. Though directors the Farrelly brothers claimed, "We talked about trying to work it in, but we weren't able to do it", rumours had begun to circulate prior to the film's release that Lawrence requested her cameo was cut. According to reports, Lawrence had the power - having seen the film - to have herself removed from Dumb And Dumber To if she so wished. She wished.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
