Christian Bale Nearly Derailed Fast and Furious Star’s Hollywood Career After Being Studio’s First Choice to Join Vin Diesel’s Crew


Fast & Furious film series has been one of the most successful franchises and the star cast has received a massive amount of love from the fans. The first film from the series The Fast and the Furious was released on 22 June 2001. It’s been more than a decade since the action-adventure movie series has been entertaining audiences around the globe.
Since the star cast has made an effect on the audience’s hearts through their performance, fans would not imagine any other actors playing the lead characters in the series. However, the producers had several other stars in mind when they were selecting actors for the franchise’s debut.

Christian Bale was offered to play Brian O’Conner in The Fast and the Furious
Reportedly, the maker’s choice for the lead characters of the movie like Brian O’Conner, Mia, and Dom was offered to many other famous actors. It’s hard for fans to imagine any other star cast but the makers had a different star cast in mind. Before Paul Walker signed up for The Fast and the Furious, Christian Bale, Eminem, and Mark Wahlberg were on the list of potential actors to play Brian O’Conner. Fans served mixed reactions to the fact that Bale, Eminem, and Wahlberg could have played Walker’s character in the adventure movie.

Eliza Dushku was in the mind of the makers when the character of Mia Toretto, Dominic Toretto’s sister, was written. Sadly, the True Lies actress declined the offer and the makers had to audition other actresses. As per the reports Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Biel, Kirsten Dunst, and Natalie Portman auditioned for the role of Mia. Vin Diesel’s character Dom was first offered to Timothy Olyphant but the actor said no to the film. It’s been more than 20 years since the first installment of the series was released and in 2023, the cast and crew came back with their 10th installment.
Vin Diesel talks about how the characters have evolved in the Fast & Furious film series

During an interview, the 55-year-old actor revealed that he first thought the character of Dom was a bit complex. The Fast Five actor said his character evolved with time and the audiences are able to see it. While talking about how his character Diesel said,
“Obviously, we met him when his whole world was about brotherhood and I think we met Dom Toretto when he was maybe not so optimistic about the world, and maybe not convinced that he would ever even become a father. It’s so interesting because there’s a scene in Fast Five when he’s encouraging Brian to embrace fatherhood and what we don’t realize is that he, in that moment, didn’t feel like the world was a good enough place to raise children in.”

He further added,
“Then we get to Fast 9 and now he’s a father and forced to reflect. I think that’s a huge statement about the franchise. We embrace our characters evolving on screen in a real way and I think that’s a testament to its success in many ways.”
The 10th installment of the film series Fast X was recently released on 19 May 2023. The successful franchise’s famous cast and creators succeeded in bringing back its charm once again.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
