The actor mimed choking himself at the thought.Īnd lastly, when it was revealed he had also turned down the Richard Gere role in Pretty Woman, he repeated: "I’m an idiot. The role, again, went to Jack Nicholson - who won both his Oscars for roles Reynolds had rejected. On the show he also responsed to the fact he had turned down 1983's Terms of Endearment. I could’ve done it and I could’ve done it well." In 2018 on Watch What Happens Live he told host Andy Cohen he absolutely regretted his decision.
However, in 2015, Reynolds said: "It was a stupid thing to say. Reynolds box-office status was still being driven in the right direction. Clint Eastwood had said the same when he was approached years before. Two car films, the aforementioned Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and The Cannonball Run (pictured), heralded the 1980s. He explained his reasoning at the time was that he believed the role could only be played by a British star.
Reynolds was approached and in later life would reflect that he was the actor who turned down Star Wars and James Bond. In 1982 the James Bond producers were told that Roger Moore wanted to leave the role after his previous outing in For Your Eyes Only.
