You probably know that Django Unchained was nominated for 5 Academy Awards, won one, and was Quentin Tarentino's highest grossing film to date. But did you know Will Smith turned down the role of Django? He claims he turned it down because he felt it wasn't the lead role of the film and thought the other main character was the lead. "Django wasn't the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead", Will said. "The other character was the lead."
