Worst Choice for a Role13 of 27
Mel Gibson as Maximus Decimus (Gladiator): Mel would have been around 46 when this movie was made. Russel Crowe who is 8 years younger and in better shape. Mel must have agreed with me because he gave the same reasoning for turning down the role, too old and not physically adept enough.
