Will Smith
Did you know that Quentin Tarantino originally wanted Will Smith to play Django? But apparently Will turned down the role because Django didn’t kill enough white people — namely Leonardo DiCaprio. In a recent interview with EW, Will said:
“Django wasn’t the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead. The other character was the lead! I was like, ‘No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!'”
Will had a chance to play a strong black character and he passed it up because he wasn’t the starring character. The move has some of his fans wondering if Will is done playing black role models.
