The terrible movie Kevin Costner turned down “two or three times” but made anywayEvery now and then, a Hollywood A-lister will talk about how they repeatedly turned a role down, only for it to become one of their greatest parts.

By the time Costner hit his late 50s, he had settled into a groove of playing reliable older guys with deep reserves of wisdom in their hearts. “I turned it down two or three times,” Costner confessed, which shows how nervous he was about stepping outside his comfort zone in such a big way.
