Struggling actress Lindsay Lohan could have been in one of the hottest movies of the year, yet she turned down the role and is, instead, still a struggling actress (one who may even have resorted to stealing formulas and the like).
Lohan, 23, was offered the role of stripper Jade in the 2009 hit The Hangover, but reportedly declined the role because she said the screenplay “had no potential”.
According to a source, the film’s director Todd Phillips approached Lohan to star in the movie after their “mutual agent” campaigned on the Mean Girls starlet’s behalf.
The source said: “The agent tried hard to get Phillips to consider her, and when he finally agreed, Lindsay said she didn’t like the script!”
The role of Jade the stripper eventually went to Heather Graham. Since its release, The Hangover has grossed a whopping $205 million in ticket sales, making it one of the highest earners of the (U.S.) summer.
