       TIL Keanu Reeves was originally offered the role of Chris in Michael Mann’s 1995 movie Heat. He turned it down to play Hamlet in theatre, Val Kilmer was given the role insteadhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_%281995_film%29#Filminghttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/14w9wa8/til_keanu_reeves_was_originally_offered_the_role/

       @todayilearned Good call on Reeves’ part! I’m sure it improved his acting immeasurably. The dream role of any actor, male or female - so jealous they gave it to Maxine Peake, who is always brilliant, but wow, I really wanted that, once upon a time, REALLY!
