Will Smith reveals he was offered Christopher Nolan’s Inception first; Here’s why he said no to the film
Though Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Dom Cobb in Inception is indeed iconic, he wasn’t the first choice for director Christopher Nolan. While there had been reports about Brad Pitt being considered before DiCaprio, veteran actor Will Smith recently revealed that he was also offered the role, though he ended up rejecting it.
In a recent interview with the UK-based radio station Kiss Xtra, Will Smith opened up about being offered the role by Christopher Nolan. He admitted that he rejected the film because, like many avid fans of Inception, he ‘did not get it’. The 2010 sci-fi action heist deals with themes of reality, mind control and dreams, resulting in a somewhat disorienting and bizarre viewing experience.
