We live in a reality in which Kristin Stewart, as Bella Swan, kissed vampires…but what if that role had gone to Patrick Stewart instead? The truth is, we will never if a British man who was pushing 70 at the time could have convincingly played an American teenage girl, and fortunately it’s not something we will ever have to imagine. But nonetheless, there are plenty of cases in which actors auditioned for an iconic role only to have it go to somebody else. Here is a list of 9 actresses who would have substantially changed movies and TV shows had they been chosen for these roles.
1. Gwyneth Paltrow as Rose in Titanic
For several years, Titanic was the highest-grossing movie of all time. It featured Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, a working-class Wisconsinite who swoons the British aristocrat Rose, played by Kate Winslet. It could have happened! Paltrow was in the running for Rose, only to ultimately turn it down. Our theory is that if she had accepted the role, the Titanic would have missed the iceberg. But Jack would have still accidentally fallen off the ship and died or something. Because it would have been silly to let him live.
2. Ellen Degeneres as Phoebe on Friends
Everybody remembers Lisa Kudrow’s portrayal as the loveable and goofy Phoebe Buffay on Friends, but in a parallel universe the role was given to Ellen Degeneres! Degeneres will no doubt regret this for the rest of her life as she rolls on a bed covered in the $400 million she’s made as one of the most popular talk show hosts ever.
3. Katie Holmes as Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
While Sarah Michelle Gellar will forever be known as the girl who saved the world from vampire domination, she wasn’t the original choice to play Buffy Summers. The producers were all set to give the part to Katie Holmes, but she turned it down to go to high school! Why somebody would choose square dancing in P.E. and reading To Kill a Mockingbird in English Lit over pretending to kill vampires on TV us beyond us!
