Sean Connery famously turned down the role of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings because — by his own admission — he just didn’t understand the script.

Connery wasn’t alone; the scale and tone of the project confused a few others at the time. Ironically, Ian McKellen stepped in and made Gandalf one of cinema’s most iconic characters. Connery missed Middle-earth — and a mountain of gold. Be sure to subscribe, and come back every day for more fresh facts.
