‘On this one, I screwed up’: This Hollywood star ditched Sven and she’s got a bit of a gut

It is impossible to imagine any other actor than Brad Pitt in the guise of Inspector David Mills today at seven. However, this iconic character from The Seventh Art could have been played on screen by Denzel Washington… who turned down the offer!

In 2013, Denzel Washington revealed that he had turned down Seven, the cult film that you’ve probably already taken a break from after 1 hour, 55 minutes and 15 seconds. A choice that the American actor clearly regrets.

“I was offered Seven a few years ago. I said no. Brad Pitt ended up playing the part. Go figure! I blew it in that one.”Denzel Washington said a little bitterly, at the microphone of Playboy Magazine, the comment was reported by Genius.

The following year, Denzel Washington, not a little upset, revisited this missed opportunity in David Fincher’s cult thriller. If he explained a little about the reasons for the refusal, the fact remains that we still felt regret.

“When I read the script for seven, I told myself it was too much”– said the actor during the Toronto Film Festival. And then I saw the movie and I thought, “Oh my God.”

Finally, in 2018, During a discussion with Jamie FoxxDenzel Washington has said that if he closed the door on Seven, it was because of what he said was a script for the film. “Too Demonic”. And once again he was angry that he missed the chance.

Released in theaters in 1996, Seven is a thriller classic. The feature film that launched David Fincher’s career tells the story of the investigation of the young David Mills (Brad Pitt) and the experienced William Somerset (Morgan Freeman). Together, they must catch a serial killer whose murders are based on the Seven Deadly Sins.
