They Were Also Supposed To Be Cast
What’s more, the directors had also reportedly contemplated casting Al Pacino, Albert Brooks and Sylvester Stallone for the role. Thankfully, they turned it down as the role was clearly made for Richard Gere!

The directors reportedly offered that role of Vivian to Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker at first. We couldn’t imagine anyone else but Julia Roberts playing Vivian, so luckily for Julia, they both turned down the lead role too.
