1. Man Who Played John Lennon In Chapter 27 Has The Same Name As His Killer
In 1985, as production was ramping up for the TV movie John and Yoko: A Love Story, it was realised that the man cast to play John Lennon was named Mark Lindsay Chapman, and given that Lennon's murder was at the hands of Mark
David Chapman, Yoko Ono saw it as "bad karma" and NBC feared the publicity would harm the film, so promptly dropped him without offering the actor an explanation. Mark McGann replaced the actor, and the film was largely panned for being a saccharine, doting tribute to the brilliant artist. However, 22 years later, Chapman would get his chance to finally play Lennon in Chapter 27, a film most famous for starring Jared Leto as Chapman (the murderous one), and gaining an obscene amount of weight to play the role. Still, like the previous film, it was panned by critics, and so nobody really won in the end. Which weird casting coincidence freaks you out the most? Let us know in the comments below.
