When's It On?
Richard Gere
We love Richard from films such as Pretty Woman, An Officer and A Gentleman and Chicago, but he has turned down some very high profile roles. He was offered the part of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street and the lead role in the film Die Hard that went to Bruce Willis.
John Malkovich
Being John Malkovich isn't always that easy. He was sitting in his garden when a strange woman appeared suddenly with a screenplay in her hands. It was titled 'She kills' and when asked what it was about, the woman explained that it was the story of 'an out-of-work woman who kills a well-known actor'. Scary!
Saoirse Ronan
Saoirse Una Ronan is certainly an unusual name. Saoirse is Irish for freedom. Una can mean unity in Irish and the actress believes her surname can be translated as 'seal'. Putting them all together, Saoirse concludes "So I'm a free, unified seal."
Taylor Swift
Taylor's music is hugely successful. She was the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the country chart and has subsequently won 7 Grammy awards. Her acting career has received a more mixed response: while the LA Times noted her comedic potential, Slant Magazine called her 'unwatchable'.
