George Clooney revealed this week that two Hollywood A-list actors slammed the door in his face when he approached them about starring in the blockbuster 2001 movie “Ocean’s Eleven.”

“Some very famous people told us to f*** right off,” Clooney said during an interview at the 2023 TCM Classic Film Festival via Entertainment Weekly. “Mark Wahlberg, Johnny Depp. There were others. They regret it now. I regret doing f***ing ‘Batman.’”
[Worth noting for the self-deprecating (and well-deserved) regret about ‘Batman.’ Every notable actor has made mistakes in either accepting or rejecting roles. Travolta’s list is rather lengthy, IIRC. Still a fun story. — Ed]
