From The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix to Harry Potter, the James Bond star wasn't one to hesitate when it came to refusing a role he didn't feel a natural inclination for, regardless of just how successful said movie might be either commercially or critically.
According to an interview with Deadline,TheSilence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme once revealed that his first choice for the role of Hannibal Lecter was none other than Connery.
“Sean Connery was the only other person I thought could be amazing for this,” the filmmaker said. “Connery has that fierce intelligence and also that serious physicality. I love Tony Hopkins, but Sean Connery could be amazing.”
“Word came back shortly that he thought it was disgusting and wouldn’t dream of playing the part,” Demme said. “So, great, now we can go to Tony Hopkins.”
