Matt Damon Regrets Turning Down 'Avatar' Role.

Matt Damon regrets turning down the lead role in James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar, calling it "the dumbest thing an actor ever did in the history of acting." Damon would have starred alongside Zoe Saldana and earned around $250 million. The role instead went to Sam Worthington. Damon and Saldana are currently working together for Stella Artois' Let's Do Dinner campaign, which benefits Water.org, a charity co-founded by Damon that works to bring clean water to those in need.
