Actors Who Regretted Turning Down Roles In Blockbuster Movies

START SLIDESHOW

Making it in the world of acting isn't easy. When you first start off, you're a nobody. You're competing with hundreds of people for every role you apply for, and you're lucky if you can get a speaking role on television. You accept every part that's ever offered to you.

If you're lucky enough to land a few roles, then you'll hopefully find yourself being offered bigger roles on a more frequent basis. You're no longer wondering where the next job is going to come from. In fact, you might even find yourself turning work down because you're too busy!

Sometimes, though, you might live to regret one of those refusals. What looks like a doomed film or a bad television role turns out to be a huge hit. Someone else picks up awards and recognition for playing a part you turned down. That's happened to everybody on this list!

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
