You Won’t Believe the Mistakes These Celebs Made in their Careers

While it is very hard to imagine the iconic movie Forrest Gump without Tom Hanks, he was not the first choice for the role (or even the second or third). John Travolta was offered the role but turned it down, a move which he has admitted was not his smartest. Tom Hanks won an Oscar for the role. Coincidentally he also turned down a role in Apollo 13, which Tom Hanks was also successful in.
