Celebrity
Leonardo DiCaprio and Sandra Bullock also passed on the role.
Ill give you one, only one, the actor responded.
Because I really believe it was never mine.

I did pass onThe Matrix, Pitt continued.
I took the red pill.
Thats the only one Im naming…

I wasnt offered two or three.
Only the first one.
Just to clarify that.
I really believe [the role] was never mine.
It was someone elses and they go and make it.
Pitt wasnt the only prominent name being considered for the role of Neo ahead of Reeves.
Then we go to Leonardo [DiCaprio].
Then Will Smith joins it and he drops out.
