Owen Wilson turned down $12 million role in film that exonerates OJ Simpson

Owen Wilson has reportedly rejected an offer to act Juice, A film that portrays OJ Simpson as innocent of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Despite a good offer of $12 million for the lead role, it was refused. According to director Joshua Newton, the film is a “satirical thriller” that focuses on attorney Douglas McCann, who represented Simpson in a civil case in 2000.

Newton explained hollywood reporter He set up a meeting with Wilson to discuss the role, which was later filled by another actor.

Newton said, “Owen Wilson was perfect for the role.” “We met in Santa Monica, and everyone liked the script. Their agents wanted them to do it. We offered them $12 million.”

However, Wilson had strong objections to the film’s premise. At the end of the meeting, Wilson reportedly stood up and said, “If you think I’m going to play the lead role in a movie about how OJ didn’t do it, you’ve got to be kidding me.”

Despite the attractive offer, Wilson’s response reflected his reluctance to become involved in a project that portrayed Simpson as innocent in a highly publicized murder case.

Despite being acquitted in the criminal case, a 1997 civil court jury found Simpson “knowingly and wrongfully” liable for the deaths of Brown and Goldman, and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to their families.
