Almost all actors have made bad choices and good choices during their Hollywood careers. Natalie Portman had her bad days in 2013 when she rejected a role that could have been pivotal to her career back in the day.
The 2013 movie directed by Alfonso Cuaron starred Sandra Bullock in the lead role. Gravity was hailed as a success but what many people do not know is that before Bullock was finalized, the lead role was rejected by Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman Rejected A Role Worth More Than Her Net Worth!
Well, it wasn’t technically her fault but she did reject the 2013 movie Gravity which could have made her more famous than where she is right now. With several complications in the casting of the movie, the role was originally signed by Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie rejected the role when the movie underwent a studio change and Jolie passed on the script. The role was later offered to Natalie Portman. Portman reportedly rejected the offer to star in the lead role in the movie due to scheduling conflicts that arose. She was not able to give commitments to the director at the time and hence had to reject the script.
After Sandra Bullock was cast in the lead role, the actress earned a whopping $70 million with the movie. The harrowing thing to note was that in 2013, Natalie Portman’s overall net worth was nearly $70 million! The actress lost a paycheck that was almost worth her entire net worth because of scheduling conflicts. The actress is a lot better now since according to Celebrity Net Worth, the actress is currently estimated to have a net worth of $90 million in 2023.
