Leonardo DiCaprio brought Christopher Nolan's Inception to life, and it went on to become a worldwide hit. But are you aware of?? Will Smith was initially offered the lead part, but he turned it down because he didn't understand it.

Will review Inception's offer

The Oscar-winning actor disclosed during a chat with the UK radio station Kiss that director Christopher Nolan first contacted him about playing a role in Inception. the 2010 science fiction hit that later became one of the director's most praised films.

When the host inquired if he had rejected The Matrix, he admitted it, and Will responded with laughter, saying, "That was one of my beautiful scars."

"Since we are confessing to one another, I am going to say it even if I don't believe I've ever said it aloud." I didn't understand Inception when Chris Nolan first showed it to me. I've never spoken that way before. Upon reflection, those films that explore alternate realities don't have a good pitch. "But those hurt me as well," he continued.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that not only did Will Smith receive the script, but Nolan also gave it to Brad Pitt and "asked for a response within 48 hours." Nolan switched to Will Smith when the star didn't make the decision. The director switched to Leonardo DiCaprio when things didn't work out.

In the radio interview, Will Smith confessed his remorse over declining the now-iconic movies, saying, "It hurts too bad to talk about."

Additional information on Will Smith's professional choices

Django Unchained was also rejected by Will Smith. Quentin Tarantino presented it to him but ultimately chose Jamie Foxx for the title part. Smith rejected Tarantino, saying he "didn't want to make a slavery film about vengeance," in an interview with GQ.

Regarding Inception

One of the best science fiction movies ever made is thought to be the 2010 picture. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Dominic Cobb, a professional thief who steals information by entering a person's subconscious or dreams, in the movie. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Elliot Page are also in it.

The film also featured Tom Hardy, Ellen Page, and Joseph Gordon Levitt as members of Leonardo's expert team, who played Cobb, a man who entered people's minds by synthesizing dreams. They would invade the dreams of their subjects to either gather data or introduce a fresh concept to them. They would frequently move between many layers of dreams to accomplish this, endangering the possibility of being stuck in a limbo eternally.
