But that wasn’t always the case.
The Notebook … starring George Clooney?
In 1998, Steven Spielberg expressed interest in directing.
His number one choice for the role of Noah?
Tom Cruise (viaE News).
However, due to scheduling conflicts, Spielberg eventually had to let the project go.
“Basically, I was going to play him as a young man, and it was funny.
We met and said, ‘This is it.
It’s going to be great.”
So where is the Clooney-Newman version ofThe Notebook?
“He’s one of the handsomest guys you’ve ever seen.
We met up [again] and I said, ‘I can’t play you.
I don’t look anything like you.
This is insane,'” Clooney said, viaUs Weekly.
Gosling may have thought the same of his director.
As forRachel McAdams, she herself was not a household name yet either.
