Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington could have starred in ‘Seven’, but the actor wasn’t a fan of the movie’s dark tone.

The ‘Gladiator II’ star was offered the role of Detective David Mills by director Guillermo del Toro, though Washington ultimately rejected it - calling the story “too demonic”.

He explained: “I thought the script was too demonic, then I saw the movie, and I was like, ‘Oh, I blew it.’ But, you know, it worked out alright.”

The role eventually went to Brad Pitt.
