<p>Hollywood actor Adrien Brody had turned down a chance to be in 'Lord of the Rings', a decision he immediately regretted when he saw the Peter Jackson epic in the theatre.</p>
<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, in a recent career retrospective with a magazine, the Oscar-winning actor revealed the surprising fact, as he talked about the film he did do with Jackson, 2005's 'King Kong'.</p>
<p>"I, somehow, didn't grasp it," Brody said of being approached for The Fellowship of the Ring. He added, "I don't know what part I would have been right for, but it was some Hobbit-like character. I was looking for something else."</p>
<p>Of course, Brody said he had major regret. The actor recalled, "I remember going to see 'Lord of the Rings' in the theatre with an ex-girlfriend. And she turned to me and said, 'You passed on Lord of the Rings?! I remember feeling so stupid. But I don't think I would have gotten the role of Jack in Peter's [King Kong]. I don't think that would have translated."</p>
<p>Brody went on to say 'King Kong' was a wonderful experience for him and he learned a lot about making a big-budget, epic tale. "We had a premiere in Times Square and they shut down all of Times Square. The mayor was there and introduced us to the city. It was a big deal. My face was immortalized on a McDonald's soda cup. When does that happen for anyone?" he said, as per The Hollywood Reporter.</p>
