5 Actors And Their Most Hated Roles They Wish They Never Took

Actors are no different from ordinary people when it comes to have decisions they regret.

While fans may be madly in love with the character portrayed in the movie, from the actor's perspective, it can seem like a total disaster and career-ender.

Here are 5 actors and their roles that they wish they never took on (or at least less than it turned out to be.)

1. Robert Pattinson — Twilight

Our favorite forever-17-year-old vampire, Edward Cullen, is turning out to be a soft spot in Robert Pattinson's career. Starring in a massively successful vampire franchise hasn't been as glamorous as expected, according to Pattinson.

Playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise led to constant surveillance and intrusion into his personal life, with people stationed outside his home daily.

For nearly six years, he couldn't even go to the grocery store without feeling paranoid. The pitfalls of being a girl's favorite Cullen…

2. Daniel Radcliffe — Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe, known for his role as Harry Potter and beloved by Potterheads around the world, expressed his disappointment with his performance in the sixth installment of the franchise, The Half-Blood Prince.

While he found joy in his work on other parts of the film, Radcliffe also saw his performance in the sixth film as a mistake.

He perceived his portrayal as lacking growth and viewed it as a recurring error that he repeated for 11 months during the oiling process.

3. Zac Efron — High School Musical

Despite the success and popularity it has brought him, Zac Efron doesn't have positive feelings about his role as the mushy Troy Bolton that made him a star.

While Zac appreciates the cast and fans, he does not like to dwell on his character and the fame it brought him.

Reflecting on his portrayal of Troy Bolton and its impact on his career, he expressed a desire to distance himself from that image and return to his character only to beat him up for the stupid decisions he made.

4. Matt Damon – The Bourne Ultimatum

Despite the tremendous financial success of the film, Matt Damon expressed dissatisfaction with the production, script, and overall experience of The Bourne Ultimatum.

He criticized the chaotic and disorganized filming process and highlighted the work on the script, which was so unreadable it could potentially ruin the writer's career.

We don't know what's more painful for the actor — starring in the movie he hates or turning down the game-changing role in Avatar. We bet it's both.

5. Jessica Alba – Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Jessica Alba was at the top of her career when she landed the role of Sue Storm in Fantastic Four.

However, if the first part boosted the actress' fame and desire to act, the sequel, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, made her completely changed her mind and quit acting.

That's how much she hated being involved in that movie. The next time you see this part of the franchise, remember that it was not the heroine's tears begging for help, but the actress's own.
