Brad Pitt does not regret turning down a role in The Matrix

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has joined the list of stars who turned down actor Keanu Reeves’ role in The Matrix. Pitt looked back on the roles he passed over while accepting the Maltin Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in California on January 22, 2020, and said he was up for the character of Neo in the 1999 blockbuster, as reported AceShowbiz.com.

Pitt said, “I really believe it (part) was never mine. It’s someone else’s and they go and make it. I really do believe in that... but I did pass on The Matrix.”

Will Smith, Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Depp were also in talks of playing the lead role in the film, which guaranteed two sequels. Last year in 2019, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told The Wrap that even Sandra Bullock approached to lead in the film.
