DENZEL WASHINGTON TELLS GQ HE REGRETS PASSING UP ON TWO FILMS IN HIS CAREER!

What if Denzel Washington had been in "Seven" instead of Brad Pitt? And what if he played the title character in "Michael Clayton" instead of George Clooney? If Washington could go back in time, he would reverse his past decisions to pass up those plum roles, citing them as his two biggest career regrets in a recent interview with GQ. "With 'Clayton,' it was the best material I had read in a long time, but I was nervous about a first-time director, and I was wrong. It happens," Washington admitted. We can't help but think how incredibly different those two movies would have been had Washington starred in them. In terms of casting 1995's "Seven," would Gwyneth Paltrow have played Washington's young wife? Would Morgan Freeman still have been the sage detective helping David Mills (played by Pitt) along? Washington said he initially passed it up because it was too dark and evil, but later kicked himself when he saw the David Fincher film in theaters. (Shockingly, Sylvester Stallone has said he also turned down a role in "Seven." *Whoa!*) While it's true that "Clayton" was Tony Gilroy's directorial debut, Clooney had enough faith to take the leap that Washington didn't. The film garnered (coincidentally) seven Oscar nominations -- including Best Director for Gilroy -- and one win for Tilda Swinton in the Best Supporting Actress category. Clooney was also nominated in the Best Actor category, proving that Washington did, in fact, seriously miss out. Washington also told GQ that he really wanted to be in two of the '80s most lauded military flicks -- "Platoon" and "Full Metal Jacket." But he said the producers of "Jacket" wouldn't allow him to see the screenplay in advance. "They were like, 'Well, [Kubrick] doesn't send out his scripts.' I was like, 'Well, then what do you want me to do?' 'Platoon,' I wanted to play the part Willem Dafoe played," Washington revealed.Still, it doesn't seem like these missed opportunities are keeping Washington up at night. And to be fair, he has also benefited greatly from taking on roles that other actors passed on first. Here are memorable Washington roles -- one for which he won an Oscar -- that other actors reportedly turned down: "Crimson Tide" -- turned down by Val Kilmer, "Training Day" -- turned down by Samuel L. Jackson, and "Man on Fire" -- turned down by Robert De Niro. (Washington told GQ that De Niro and Al Pacino were still on his list of actors he wants to work with: "Anybody whose last name ends in an o.")Washington next appears in the upcoming drama "Flight," in theaters November 2. He plays a commercial airline pilot who safely lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe, miraculously saving almost every person on board. Afterward, he is revered as a hero, but once the crash is further examined, more questions arise as to who was really at fault and what really happened. John Goodman, Brian Geraghty and Don Cheadle also star.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JESSICA BIEL SECRETLY TIE THE KNOT!

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have reportedly got married in a secret ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The pair, who got engaged there last year, are believed to have said ‘I do’ on Saturday at a private estate. Hollywood gossip columnist Janet Charlton said the pair ‘pulled a fast one’. She wrote on her blog on Friday: ‘A source just told us that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are getting married in Jackson Hole, Wyoming as we write this! They pulled a fast one on everybody! They are in the middle of their ceremony at a very fancy private estate and members of the wedding party are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel there.’ However, she added on Saturday: ‘Last night turned out to be the rehearsal dinner and the wedding is actually today.’ It was rumoured several months ago that the pair would wed in Wyoming, and celebrity wedding cake designer Sylvia Weinstock did little to quell the rumours, writing on Twitter that she was in the area over the weekend. She wrote: ‘America is a beautiful country Jackson hole a marvel (sic).’ Pinkisthenewblog.com also claimed that a ranch owned by one of Timberlake’s friends has had a stage constructed for the past two weeks. The wedding reports come after Biel recently insisted they had no time to plan her big day – saying: ‘It’s very exciting but it’s hard to find the time for it! But it’s a good moment just to enjoy it. ‘I have no idea of what I want. I am one of those people who are not very detailed orientated. I don’t feel like I’m one of those people who is like, ‘This has to be done this way.’ I’m more of a big idea person. I will probably give an idea and let it be created. I feel like most of my friends, bless them, always go through some sort of something – one day of ‘bridezilla’. Maybe it’s just part of the experience.’ The Total Recall beauty began dating Timberlake in 2007, before briefly splitting early 2011. However, by the end of the year he proposed to her in the Jackson mountains, Wyoming. Representatives of the pair have yet to respond to MailOnline about the wedding speculation.
