While you might think that being one of the most famous people in Hollywood would safeguard an actor from being let go from a job, think again! Sometimes, even the biggest superstars get fired, and publicly, too! There have been so many cases of actors getting cut from their contracts, and sometimes it even happens during the shoot, or after filming has wrapped entirely! If you think that the time you got fired from Target for clocking in a few minutes late one too many times was bad, you have no idea. Take, for example, the time that Megan Fox was totally dropped from the Transformers franchise for being at odds with the temperamental Michael Bay! Or how about when Ashton Kutcher was given the lead role in Elizabethtown, and then lost it during rehearsal to Orlando Bloom? Ryan Gosling once gained sixty pounds to play a grieving father in The Lovely Bones only to be replaced the day before shooting started, and Robert Downey Jr was actually fired from Gravity! It doesn’t end there, either! Irish actor Stuart Townsend got two weeks into rehearsing as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings before he was sacked, and Harvey Keitel shot six weeks of Apocalypse now before Francis Ford Coppola sent him packing (which was probably for the best). Samantha Morton, Eric Stoltz, and Terrence Howard, and Colin Firth were all dropped from huge projects too, at the worst possible times! Check out the video all the rest of the juicy details!
