Oscar Isaac's Bourne Legacy Near-Miss

0:00On April 21st, Oscar Isaac just dropped a wild story about almost snagging the lead in the born legacy. He was neck-and-neck for the role that Jeremy Rinner ended up owning back in 2012. Isaac spilled the beans on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, saying producers were hyped after his audition. Director Tony Gilroy was all in at first, telling Isaac straight up, You're my guy, I'm pushing hard for this. That screen test had everyone buzzing, even with some real hurdles Isaac faced during in. Picture this, Isaac had just wrecked his foot skateboarding in Florida right before an eight-hour test. He rode up in a boot, hobbling like a born wannabe, trying to look badass, still left a mark on the team no doubt. But it didn't pan out. Gilroy called with the bad news, super apologetic. The hold up? Studio heads weren't sold on Isaac leading a massive flick yet since he hadn't headlined one before. Crazy how close call shaped careers though. Isaac's killing it now from Star Wars to everything else proving them wrong in the long game.
