Ethan Hawke threw the script out of his car window #shorts

Ethan Hawke reveals the most regrettable role he ever turned down: starring as Captain Steven Hiller in 'Independence Day'. While on a road trip with a friend, Hawke read through the script, laughed at the dialogue, and thought lines like the 'E.T.' reference were completely ridiculous. Convinced the film would flop, he literally threw the script out of his car window onto a Texas highway. The following summer, he walked into a packed cinema only to watch Will Smith deliver that exact line to a roaring standing ovation. ❤️ Subscribe to Film Cafe for more behind-the-scenes movie secrets, actor casting lore, and iconic Hollywood stories! ✨ --------- #shorts #ethanhawke #independenceday #willsmith #conanobrien #behindthescenes #movietrivia #HollywoodRegrets #SciFiMovies #FilmCafe
