15. Leonardo DiCaprio – ‘American Psycho’

Christian Bale was an up and coming star, but he really wanted to play the role of Patrick Bateman in the film American Psycho. Riding on the success of the 1997 film Titanic, Leonard DiCaprio would bring the type of star power the film needed, so he was sent the script and reportedly offered $20 million. Director Mary Herron reportedly told producer Ed Pressman to just wait it out because she knew “Leo will never do the movie.” Turns out, she was right. DiCaprio had issues with the script, so he dumped it and signed on for The Beach which turned out to be a blockbuster disaster, and Bale starred as the lead role in American Psycho.
