The silence of the lambs- Clarice Starling
One of the most greatest Hollywood roles is Jodie Foster played the role of Clarice Starling and she was admired much.

Bridget Jones- Bridget Jones’s Diary
Bridget Jones’s Diary gave an unforgettable character and Renee Zellweger really made that particular role her own as no one could ever do the role if she had not but Kate Winslet was the first approach by the team.

Wonder Woman- Diana
Gal Gadot has shown an awesome maturity while playing the role but she was approached after Kristen Stewart was considered who was not willing to have more drama after Twilight Saga. The fate should play the role sometimes and here it happened the same when Gal was chosen as the cast of Diana. If we are said to imagine about Kristen Stewart in the role of Diana, it seems a little difficult as Kristen Stewart does not suit for the role from any angle. She looks tender and immature to be suitable for the role of Diana while Gal Gadot looks a perfect personality for the role as she can fight strongly like Diana. Maybe Kristen denied for the role but sometimes things happen for the reason so Stewart was left like so and fate made Gadot victorious to achieve the fame and success all around the world.

Anne Hathaway seemed the real royal blood while playing the role of Mia Thermopolis but before her, Cameron Diaz, Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, and Kate Hudson were approached. These actresses denied playing the role of Mia Thermopolis because they did not want to do such a childish character but it happened for the goodness. Anne Hathaway seems real royal blood during her character of the princess and she has done the act as no one could be able to do like her.
-
Almost Famous- Russell Hammond
Brad Pitt was considered for the role as a first choice but somehow Billy Crudup replaced him. If we imagine Brad Pitt as a rock star, it does not match his personality so we can say that fate played own and chose the suitable one for the role.
