Mads Mikkelsen actually walked out of his Fantastic Four audition













Talk about dodging a bullet.
Here's his exact quote:
“I think I walked out on the Fantastic Four [audition],” he said. “I think I actually said, ‘I can’t do it. It’s not about you, I’m sorry, this is wrong’. I’ve had tons of them [like that],” he said. “We’ve all been there. We all show up and it’s a little office room with a desk and some books and they want you to do a scene where you have two lines – maybe not even two lines – maybe just ‘Bleurgh!’ or ‘Get back!’ And you’re hiding behind a palm tree that’s not there. It’s like, ‘Guys, couldn’t you have picked a different kind of scene to this? This is [frick]ing mad.’ You feel like an idiot.”
