Jack Dawson’s role in the Titanic was initially offered to Johnny Depp, but he gave up after having trouble reading about 15 pages of the scenario. However, as he said, he knew the film would be a big success.

The titanic is one of the most successful movies in cinema history and marked a turning point in Leonardo DiCaprio’s career and Kate Winslet. Today it’s hard to imagine someone else in the role of Jack Dawson and it’s just known that the role was first offered to Johnny Depp.

According to the magazine Far Out, the year before the premiere, Depp was given the opportunity to get acquainted with James Cameron’s scenario and consider the lead role.

I had difficulty reading about 15 pages of the Titanic script. It was horrible. I mean, I couldn’t stand it, he once said.

The actor quickly left the project. Surprisingly, despite the bad impression of the scenario, he was aware of the movie’s potential.

I knew the Titanic would be a great success, Depp said.

However, he was not the only actor mentioned in the role. Among the names related to the project were Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Chris O’Donell, Christian Bale and Paul Rudd. /Telegraphy/
