Elf

Will Ferrell passed on a $29 million paycheck for a sequel to the 2003 comedy because he thought the script was so bad. MOVIESTORE/SHUTTERSTOCK [{ "selector": ".gzjyp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".xxpwo-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "300ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would’ve been, like, ‘Oh no, it’s not good.’

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Jim Carrey felt like he was “being buried alive each day” during the 8.5-hour makeup process for the 2000 Dr. Seuss flick. Universal/Getty Images [{ "selector": ".makwe-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".ahzsr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "300ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

A guy that trained CIA operatives how to endure torture was brought in. That’s how I got through it.

Love, Actually

Keira Knightley’s newsboy cap wasn’t an intentional fashion statement. She rocked a hat in the 2003 romcom to hide a “massive” forehead pimple. YouTube [{ "selector": ".hshuh-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".vblly-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "300ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

It was humongous, so there was no choice but to find a hat to cover it.

Miracle on 34th Street

Child star Mara Wilson never believed in Santa, but she pretended otherwise so as not to ruin the magic for the other kids on set. EVERETT COLLECTION [{ "selector": ".baoxt-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".hadpj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "300ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

I didn’t actually believe in Santa, because I was raised Jewish.

The Santa Clause

The original script called for Tim Allen to shoot Santa before assuming his job. (In the 1994 cut, St. Nick slipped off a roof.)

[The head of Disney] said, ‘Well, we can’t start a Disney movie with you murdering Santa.’
