What's actually incredible is by Gary Oldman turning it down, it created a magical partnership between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton which lasted his entire career and opened many doors.
He didn't turn it down though. Listen carefully to what he said. He was given the script, not offered the role. He hadn't even interviewed for it yet. It's quite possible he wouldn't have been chosen anyway.
To be fair Edward scissorhands was an awful film
My biggest fear is that one day I'm going to hear someone say 'CUT', and it turns out that I was Gary Oldman the whole time.
Best comment i've ever seen 😂😂
@@etienneboulerice7938 Right? This person right here
I appreciate this comment with a passion.
🤣love this comment. One of the best I've ever seen on CZcams 🤣
What if Gary Oldman then went home, looked in the mirror, took off his glasses, and realized the face looking back was Daniel Day-Lewis?
Gary's lived in America for so long now that his London accent goes into different ones. At 0.33 it goes Australian.
I actually had to Google him when I first heard it, I doubted my knowledge and thought he actually might be Australian. Nope he is from London, like me.
@@jura_rose It also sounds oddly West Country at times, like he's from Devon.
@@davidjames579 Yes I agree
Yeah... When he says lie-dee...lady
@@sofiarandal7376 He didn't used to sound like that. His accent's softened since moving. I knew Australian is derived from Cockney, but now we know a softened out Cockney accent is West Country!
It's interesting how Oldman's everyday voice in interviews is much higher-pitched than the voice he uses in movies.
Think it's just the audio on here maybe? Larry King sounds a bit pitchy too
He sounds almost Australian
No its definately Oldman. He talked about this that he cant even speak normal brit accent anymore cause he has changed his voice to so many roles that he lost it.
Isnt it called acting ?? Lmao
@@Holmesy89 ikr! Exactly what I thought.
What a champ. Firstly recognizing and secondly admitting such a mistake of judgement is a true sign of professionalism.
Eddie Murphy said similar things about being offered the lead in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
I think every actor/actress has that one role they wished they didn't turn down. Will Smith turned down the chance to play Neo in The Matrix and Django in Django Unchained. Denzel Washington turned down Se7en. Burt Reynolds turned down a plethora of really good roles he later regretted.
Although in Will Smith's case he thought they were about to make Ali so he had to choose between the two. But then Ali was delayed, so he probably could have done both.
@@banx757Sean Connery turned down the role of Morpheus. That would have been a very different movie. Connery also turned down the role of Gandalf which was a good thing because Ian McKlellan knocked it out of the park.
@@billsedutto8824Connery was on the verge of retiring too. I dont think at tgat point he wanted to go halfway around the world to live in NZ. And they wouldve had to recast Gandalf for The Hobbit mocies so it all was for the best.
His accent takes about 3 trips around the world in 1 minute
Lol I love him.
@@bethmorris260 Not for me Clive.
@@sratus I'm glad you like watching videos of people you don't like.
@@sratus he's gone very "transatlantic". A mixture of South East England mixed with a strange american-esque twang, and an odd almost Australian sounding bit.
Very true 👍
Johnny owned it. But I tell you what, Gary Oldman could have been very interesting.
Edward Scissorhands is still my favorite Depp movie and character. He was brilliant.
He can act circles around Depp. He's one of the best actors of our time.
@Angie Gomez scientology i guess.
Etta James I dont agree with that. Dude was fantastic as the psychotic villain in Leon The Professional then he went on to do an excellent job as jim gordon in batman who’s literally the antithesis of his Leon character. Dude’s got plenty of range
Etta James It’s definitely a tough role and johnny’s a fantastic actor but its not like Johnny’s head and shoulder’s above the rest of his generation. I dont see any reason why someone like tom cruise couldnt have killed in the role too. Or daniel day-lewis. If anything id say its the fact that johnny and tim are such a great personality match that it brings out the best in both of them
When I read the screenplay for Edward Scissorhands, it did cross my mind about how hard it must’ve been to convey what the film wanted to achieve in words only.
I've tried several watches and I still don't get it. Visually, it's stunning. But I could just never get that connection with it I know so many people did.
@@ko7577I think it may hit differently if you grew up in the 50s or early 60s in the USA. I didn't but it's just a guess
@@the_endgame Maybe that's what it is. I'm not too far from that era, I was born in 1975, but I don't have memories of 50s or 60s America. I do however live in a town that's pretty much like 50s America (we still have a downtown drug store with burgers and all kinds of little ice cream shops the kids go to at lunch). Maybe if I watch it as a period piece it'll make sense.
I haven't tried to watch it in around a decade, maybe with me getting older now it'll make more sense. It'll make a good Halloween night movie.
@@ko7577- Or near Christmas. Those final scenes take place at Christmas time.
@@ko7577it’s all about being an outcast wanting to fit in and find his place in the world. It’s pretty simple haha
Worked out well. I’m assuming he passed on playing Edward. Johnny had that innocent looking face that made it so much more effective in my opinion.
Yep, hit the nail on the head. I think it could have worked but all I can see is Norman Stansfield playing Edward.
Have you seen Gary as Rosencrantz? Came out the same years as Edward
@@GaryOldmanWeb and the best thing about that play/movie is the banter. Now you go to Edward.. and he’s nearly mute.
he's also better looking which is a plus for the ladies...
But Gary around that time had that gothic look. We’ll never know how it would have been but he’s a great actor then and now.
Gary really killed it in 'Leon: The Professional'. It is one of my all time favorite performances.
Jean Reno was my favorite. Such a great film.
You wanna see a great gary oldman movie? Watch “State of grace” with sean penn & ed harris amongs others..one of his best performances imo 👍🏼
@@kevlarsoul79 🔥
@@kevlarsoul79 Also check "Romeo is Bleeding".
EVERYONE loves his performance in that.. as they should.
Every time I see this guy he’s got a different accent
Probably just been playing an Aussie. That what it sounds a little like
@Punkie747jhg It's originally South London, but these days sounds West Country (Dorset, Somerset) and other times Australian.
Gary Oldman....not just one of my favorites, one of the greatest of all time!
When Gary Oldman talks it during interviews, he is concise, low tone, and very educated. With all the parts that he played, it is hard to see that he is the same person. And that is a good Actor. In fact he is an amazing Actor. We are so lucky to have him our generation.
Crazy to think how it could’ve rewrote history for Depp, being his first work with Burton, and they went on to do many films together after their collaboration on Scissorhands. He would’ve never met his then girlfriend Winona either. Depp had that perfect innocence and quirkiness about him.
Rewritten* time for another edit
Would have worked out the same methinks. Johnny still would have been a broke alcoholic nobody if Gary took the role. Depp never would have met Amber Heard would be the difference.
@@Ajidam Dislike Depp if you want, but he's far from a nobody. One of the most beloved actors of the last few decades, a very interesting person, and according to everybody but Amber Heard he is a sweetheart
Eddie Cardwell sir,don't you think both Johnny and Winona can be a good married couple in your opinion thanks
Haven’t worked with Depp I can tell you the kids a punk
Sounds like Gary dodged thirty years of acting goofy in Tim Burton movies.
You are not wrong, but the man would have made bank... Lol he did just fine anyways
Johnny Depp has done a sh* ton of things other than being on Burton movies.... Edward Scissorhands freed him from the label of pretty boy teenage heart throb and showed viewers & Hollywood he had range.
@@lithantushelo7932 yea and to be fair alot of them were trash
@@tangiblemammal5273 well it is a f*ck ton of films🤣
LOL have you seen his goofy roles, he has got a few of those
Gary Oldman is cool af
Drexl
and Costner....'lame af'
Gary Coolman is old af
Gary didn't get that it was a modern fairy tale, an easy mistake to make when you are reading a script I bet.
Especially if you didn't see Burton's work prior. In 1989, the eccentric visions of the upcoming auteurs wouldn't have a lot of precedent for him to study.
Reading scripts like reading song lyrics really can get you lost in translation. This is a movie?! Or This is a song?!
Kevin Costner , one of the very few actors/ directors that’s a true teacher.
Lovely man .
Gary Oldman in True Romance was brilliant
It is his favorite role he said.
Brilliant film.
Gary Oldman in anything is brilliant
Unrecognisable
Gary thought Edward Scissorhands was weird but he did the movie Tiptoes where he plays a dwarf and Matthew McConaughey is his brother 😂
Lmao
Dude, exactly what I was thinking!
Main Mommy in the house
Maybe because one was like in 1989 and by 2002 he had learned to try the weird ones. Plus, his career was at different place. But honestly it was meant to be Depp and Winona, right?
He also did fifth element
Still one of my favorite Danny Elfman soundtracks.🎶❄️🌨️💃💓😢
And he read the script for "tiptoes" and he thought "yeah This I get!"
omfg
Neah, he still didn't get it, but he was like, I'm not ganna make that mistake again xD
Bravo
Oldman an Depp, two of my favourite actors ever!
I think Gary is an amazing actor with a variety of roles that he made very memorable. I don’t particularly care for depp although I’ve enjoyed some of his movies but I can’t imagine anyone else in Edward scissor hands no matter how good of an actor they are.
@blue star I didn’t say he could t do it. Be able to play a role doesn’t always make you the right actor for the role
I love Gary Oldman...
Rob Vespa, he hasn't got his own accent anymore because of all the roles he's played.
Eh? I still love him (as an actor and per his social presence, of course). Also, to my dull States ear, he does have an accent - although he doesn't sound different here, then, say, 20 years ago.
Why?
It's amazing how interesting Gary Oldman can be, talking about a role that he didn't take.
Costner was polite by being attentive, and being quiet.
Costner is such a hoss. He has that relaxed confidence of someone who has been a genuine star for a long time, and is perfectly comfortable letting someone else have their moment in the sun.
Was he supposed to just blurt random loud noises every ten seconds?
@@nicholassears6301 I think OP's point is that often in these tandem interviews, one star will frequently interrupt the other's replies and try to keep the attention focused on themselves, however consciously, which Costner doesn't.
@@ResidentPetrolhead for sure, I was just ball bustin'. Well put btw.
I still think Costner was the best Robin Hood in a live-action to date, even though he didn't use any sort of British accent. This may have been his choice or the directors, but regardless, he just had the character quirkiness and attitude down very well that it didn't matter.
Gary Oldman is one of my all time fave actors. I love how he can do different accents!!
@Bobby Sternlicht All of them except his own
@Bobby Sternlicht you can't hate Gary Oldman! He's a legend!
Gary is such a phenomenal actor!! Loved all he has ever done!!
I love this story, and I love even more Gary's honesty about it.
Apparently there’s one particular movie Kevin Costner _deeply_ regrets passing on:
The Shawshank Redemption
Cause Johnny Depp Is Eduard, like Vivien Leigh Is Blanche Dubois in Streetcar Desire and nobody ever will replace this iconic perfect performamces.
"I came to apologize. I watch that Edward Scissor Hands. That Johnny Depp, he make-a me cry!!!"
Im loving the restraint of no one spelling out the reference 👍
How'd you like to have a free haircut for a 6 months?
@@Jolska It's hard.
i hope some day johnny and gary will work together.
Depp is a known fan of Oldman, but sometimes the right project just never arrives...
Now that would be sweet!
not sure many actors AREN'T a fan of Oldman@@jpalvarez4972
I think anyone who ever felt like an outcast or slightly didn’t mesh well with “ideal” suburban life...understood Edward Scissorhands.
I think on paper in the 90s with Tim Burton's style it'd be hard to envision other than seeming goofy. Gary Oldman really has played outcasts before Edward Scissorhands, but considering Beetlejuice I would wonder if Edward Scissorhands are supposed to be like a comedy. It really takes probably a conversation with Tim Burton to probably understand his vision without knowing who he is.
Just think, Gary Oldman could have wound up with Winona Ryder’s name tattooed on his arm...
He did get to bite Winona's neck like a year later.
He wouldn’t have gotten the part.
ROFL dodged that bullet
Johnny and Winona got together before Scissorhands, plus she didn't completely take to Gary when they made Dracula together. She found him too intense.
The role didn't come with a free Winona Ryder
Will Smith passing on The Matrix is the best one.
That woulda been wild, because they wanted Val Kilmer as Morpheus
Terrill Moses I heard it was offered to Sean Connery as well.
The fact he passed on Matrix wasn't the crazy part, it's the fact that he chose Wild Wild West over Matrix that was the crazy part lol
Passed on Django as well
Derek Azyan Django was an even worse one to pass on because Tarantino was so well established at the time. The Matrix probably sounded like the creators were on drugs when it was pitched to him lol.
One of Gary Oldman's very best and chilling performances is in the little known movie 'The Firm (1989)' No, not the lawyer movie with Tom Cruise. This one is about British football hooliganism. If you liked his performance in 'Leon/The Professional' then you should definitely check this movie out also.
I believe you are talking about “Criminal Law” with Oldman and Kevin Bacon (1988). according to IMDb, there is no Oldman film called the firm. It is a great movie. 👏🏼
@@1974dormouse No, The Firm was a TV movie. It's listed on IMDB as "Screen Two" in Gary's filmography. It's listed on Letterboxd as a standalone film with reviews if you want to read more about it, it's very good.
Agree and excellent movie and a shame more people don’t know about it
Gary Oldman is the man... After he played Drexl on True Romance, been a fan ever since
Sit down, grab yourself an egg roll
@@davidbutler1622 They got everything here from a diddled eyed Joe to damned if I know
Sean Connery turned down Gandalf is a big blunder. They even offered him 15% of the gross that would have netted him 450 million dollars.
He also turned down Dumbledore
Not only just Oldman, but are we going to ignore the fact that there's 3 legends sitting in 1 room?
Dances with wolves was a great film... Robin Hood and waterworld maybe not so much
I think the right person got the role in the end. But Gary Oldman is one of the finest actors....really...he is a master. Completely completely blows me away.
Gary is a great artist. He’s played some great characters.
"Must be mf'n white boy day"
Ever seen him as Drexl Spivey in True Romance? A really solid film that nobody ever talks about.
He could have played an excellent joker in batman. He plays a crazy person real well.
George Smiley
@@Edyth_Hedd I'll never forget him in that. How scary was he?! Oldman played him so well.
One of the best actors ever . period.
Loved him in The Professional. "EVVERRRYYYYOONE!!!"
If you want to understand just how brilliant Gary Oldman is, watch "State of Grace."
Yep, one of my favs...
Tim Burton had already done “Beetlejuice” and “Batman,” which were smash hits. So he wasn’t exactly ‘unknown.’
He said "relatively unknown."
Edward Scissorhands was released in 1990 he could had got the script in 88 or 89. Two films don't making you a legend in the industry.
Movies takes years to make. Oldman could have gotten the script before the two other films were even released.
Hunchbag Thats true. I thought Edward Scissorhands came out in ‘93/‘94 for some reason. I didn’t realize it was 1990.
Movies are in the early development stage long before production. He could have read the script prior to those films being released.
Harrison Ford passed up on both Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List. However, The Fugitive was solid.
It's good he did because it brought in other stars.
hex warp I thought he would’ve been great in Jurassic Park especially if Sean Connery didn’t decline the Hammond role.
@PT 101 that was my point; in that having somewhat obscure actors allowed them to start better careers and give us more casting.
PT 101 I like your input, but to me Harrison Ford would’ve brought Indiana Jones into Jurassic Park which would’ve been cool to see. Juliette Binoche the French actress declined both Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List as well to do Three Colors: Blue which I thought was a great decision on her part.
PT 101 the alien concept was not good and even Spielberg regretted that, Indiana Jones should’ve stopped after 3
I was offered the role in breaking bad as Jesse pinkman
But I took the supermarket job bagging groceries
Smart man...I did the same but for the role of Walter White.
Steadier job for sure. Smart move
I was supposed to be James Bond now I’m just the real Jesse pink man
At least its a honest role. When we are not in bot / afk mode xD
For a second there Kevin Costner looked like a tame Jeff Goldblum
I was semi excited it was Jeff also then im like.. Ohhh... Costner...

Gary Oldman: One of the greatest chameleon actor ever along with Johnny Depp
Gary Oldman is a brilliant actor. Brilliant in State Of Grace & True Romance
It's like when I heard Kevin James talk about passing up playing Leonidas in 300. Could've been good.
Isn't it Kevin James that Joe Rogan always says is a legit mixed martial artist? lol
@Hobo Workforce Union u didn't get the joke
Lol stop bullshitting lol
Gary Oldman should had won a academy award from the movie Airforce One. He was one mean and bad dude. His acting was incredible. Also loved him in Immortal Beloved. This actor is a ICON (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
The mix of American and English makes him sound so Aussie!
There's definitely an element there that is more clearly Australian rather than anything English or American. God knows where his mind is!
The Professional is still my favorite roll, sometimes you create a masterpiece near the beginning of being known. Love all his work
"The Professional" ? Would that be some sort of paper towel product (a la "Bounty") that's arrived on store shelves albeit managing to escape my notice?
*role
@@manofiske3318 thanks for being my editor 😁
I am so glad that Gary oldman did not take that roll on because there was only one person that could have done that and he did that extremely well
Agreed. That he didn't get it right away indicates that it wasn't the right role for him. Perfect for Depp.
Nah. A lot of people could have done a good job in that role. Johnny Depp is incredibly hammy and overrated.
@@coolnamebrono one couldn't replaced Johnny in the first Pirates movie. I think that was his best performance
tons of people could have done that role. Tons.
Gary Oldman is a hundred times more talented than Johnny Depp.
To think that Sirius Black, Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour and Dukavic from The Hitman's Bodyguard are all the same person leaves me in awe of Gary Oldman's acting prowess.
You forgot Mason Verger in the movie "Hannibal". Anthony Hopkins is amazing and deserves his recent award, but Gary Oldman's performance was the pinnacle of Hannibal. I missed the movie credits didn't know until years later it was him.
JVT_RedBaron speaks Well he wasn’t credited at all in the opening credits.
What’s a Drexl?
Rule of thumb I have learned from watching actor/actress interviews over the decades. The more you don't understand the film the more reason to definitely take the role😄😄.
But let's not forget we're looking at it from the hindsight of movies that went on to be made, and were actually good (which is why actors tell these stories of regrets). Imagine all the movies they passed up that ended up bombing horribly, or were never made at all. Certainly in the hundreds or thousands beyond those few that ended up being made and were good.
Gary is a severely underrated actor. He's so good, so diverse and brilliant in every film he does
I wouldn't say he is underrated. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors of this age... probably ever.
@@claudemakelele2856 Oh good. He deserves it as much as Daniel Day Lewis, Deniro, Pacino..
I dont think that he is underated at all.
That’s Johnny role. He did a great job my many respects for that guy. Don’t get me wrong Gary is amazing
Respect also for Gary, he didn't just said "it wasn't for me", he admitted that he didn't understand sth.
This is the first time I have heard Gary Oldman’s real voice and I am so shocked.
Nothing like what I had expected!
One of my favorite interviews with Johnny Depp was a VH1 or MTV interview many years ago where he said he was a huge fan of the “Edward Penishands” movies!
Oldman was awesome in Leon: The Professional.
Edward Scissorhands is the fist movie 🎦 I ever watched in the theater with my sisters. Great movie
Mine was jurassic park then I hoped over to see the last action hero.
What a plot ! An Avon lady goes around the block selling makeup and finds a guy with scissors for hands in a dark spooky castle and adopts him lol! It’s a classic no matter what.
It's obvious they wanted Gary as Scissorhands because he blazed into cinematic history playing Sid 3 or 4 years prior to the offer. And Johnny Depp was playing Edward playing Gary playing Sid ☺️
I see nothing of that. Edward was modeled on Robert Smith and had no traits of Sid Vicious or Gary Oldman's portrait of him. Gary Oldman could play any part and make you forget you're watching, maybe he'd been noticed especially for Sid and Nancy but it doesn't mean that they were going for that kind of acting with Edward. Or, if they were, they must have changed their mind after they saw Johnny Depp. Which seems very likely to me, considering how blown away Tim Burton has been with Depp ever since.
Depp said he modeled Edward after a dog of his.
Great actor and a cool guy..
Gary Oldman is a brilliant actor. I love his Expectorant Technique 😁
"I come to apologize. I just watched that movie Edward a-Scissorhands. And that Johnny Depp, he make a me cry!"

Well done!
Never thought about that, but you’re right. All we need now is the mailman from Seinfeld and the guy who wrote Scarface.
Dracula and Robin Hood
Sir Gary Oldman, such a great actor you wouldn't even know this was him.
Ohh Tim Burton films would've prolly been rather different if Gary was in their legacies rather than Johnny! I adore Gary and it would've been interesting to see his take on Edward Scissorhands, but it was for Johnny and I think it's best things worked out as they have! :D this was so interesting to find out tho! Gary being Edward would've suited remarkably well!
I know you wrote this a year ago, but I was thinking that if Gary Oldman had been Tim's muse instead of Johnny, he (Tim) would have a lot more credibility now than he does. I know people love Tim Burton but his adaptations on Charlie and the Chocolate factory and Alice in Wonderland were not successful. I was just musing whether Gary would have brought a more serious and darker tone that Johnny lacked in those two roles? (I love Johnny Depp, don't get me wrong.) Maybe it's just that Tim Burton was so brilliant at creating his own characters and should not have ventured into remake-territory? Anyhow, they also considered Michael Jackson for the role of Edward, so no complaints about the casting they chose lol . Though Gary would have KILLED it.
Danielle Palmer ... absolutely beautiful and also your take on this is very well put... ;)
No offense to Gary, who could have done well in Scissorhands, but I'm so glad it was Depp, because then Burton went on to make Ed Wood and NOBODY could have played that better than Depp.
There's no comparison between Oldman and Depp.
@@RobVespa Agreed. Depp is a fine actor but Oldman is on a whole other level.
Damn Oldman would make an amazing Scissorhands actually.
I don’t think Gary would have been a good fit for that role. Johnny Depp at that time had a sensitivity and vulnerability necessary for the part. Gary Oldman is one of the greatest living actors but I can’t picture him as vulnerable or wide eyed innocent. His instincts were spot on about the part if not the movie. ❤️❤️❤️
This is the most Chameleon like actor I know. I always realize late in his movies that it's him!
Man I just love Kevin Costner. Such a timeless guy.
so well-spoken
Gary is a brilliant actor. My favorite.
Count Dracula , Churchill and Sid Vicious . These people are not similar but Oldman pulled off good portrayals of each of them
Cant blame him for that. I think that must be the most frighting thing as an actor, film is supposed to be visual and then the only thing you really have to go off is a script. Then you might see it one way, the director an other. You might see something amazing that is actually corny and bad when it's visualised, or something bad thats incredible when it's visualised.
I took my kids to see the ballet and it was Edward Scissorhands. It was amazing. Wish they would do it again
Love these guys 😘😘
Thank you so much Gary for turning down the role.
One of my all time favorite movies, Edward Scissorhands.💙
doesn't understand Edward Scissorhands yet wears a scarf with a t-shirt. very confused person
He's British. Have you seen how they dressed when they are in Spain?

I could listen to actors tell stories about films they turned down all day. It's a good thing most of them don't want to tell us. :)
So you can't listen to them all day? 😂
if Gary hadn't turned town that role, Johnny Depp wouldn't have became the famous actor which we all know, that's my humble opinion
he didn't turn it down, he turned down the audition
Wow. I regret not seeing Gary Oldman as Edward Scissorhands too
2 legends
His accent veers all over the place. When do that many accents for a living it must be easy to forget your own.
The talks must have taken place before Batman....Tim Burton certainly wasn’t unknown after directing a massive blockbuster
I really like Gary as the person he appears to be.
Sometimes a thing is just so new it’s hard to understand until take a minute. It took me a while to fully understand Aftersun after I saw it and now it’s one of my favourites.
I think Michael Jackson’ wanted the part...too.
He did...they never gave him the time of day, sadly.
@@kaylalezabeth7175 but why they didn’t give a chance?
