Recently, Titanic producer Jon Landau disclosed the sole reason Matthew McConaughey was passed over for the role of Jack Dawson in the romantic catastrophe movie.
Landau talked openly about McConaughey’s audition for the part in his biography, The Bigger Picture: My Blockbuster Life & Lessons Learned Along the Way.
Kate Winslet, who portrayed Rose in the film, “was taken with Matthew, his presence and charm,” according to a teaser of the biography that Matthew Belloni’s What I’m Hearing got.
Director James Cameron told the actor, “That’s great, now let’s try it a different way,” because the actor’s drawl at the first screening test didn’t sit well with him.
