As we all know by now, Cats stunk worse than three-week-old kitty litter left out in the hot sun.
Even some of the stars of the movie did an "I don't know her" to the film.
But there was one star who dodged the mess altogether: Hugh Jackman!
In an interview with the Daily Beast, Hugh revealed that he had been offered a role in the movie by the film's director, Tom Hopper.
Hugh said he was actually offered several roles, but had to turn it down due to scheduling issues:
You know, Tom rang me early on because we did Les Mis together, and there were a couple of options there based on availability and time, and I really… yeah, I just wasn’t available at the time.
But when he was asked whether or not he was happy he turned down the role, Hugh, being a gentleman, did not bash the movie, saying:
I’m in the theater, man, and I don’t want to be in the business of bashing people — or jumping on bandwagons. I haven’t seen it, and Tom Hooper’s one of the great filmmakers we have.
Okay, I think it's very safe to say Hugh is probably happy with having turned down a role in the movie. Although, FTR, it would have made the film that much more iconically campy if he had been in it!
