The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus had a chance to play George Clooney’s father in the upcoming film Tomorrowland, but he turned it down over a haircut.
Reedus explained to Vulture his reasoning behind passing on the film, which is set to be released in 2015.
“With Tomorrowland, there was an issue about cutting my hair. It’s a period film, and I would have played the father of George Clooney, but the haircut, the pictures they sent me, it looked like some sort of a hair croissant on the top of your head. And I was like, ‘How am I going to pull that off?’ I have really long wild guy hair right now, and it just wouldn’t work.”
Reedus also went on to share what kind of film he would like to do.
“I don’t want to just do a giant blockbuster that’s going to disappear. I want a film that means something, and then I’ll go back to my highly watched, super-popular television show.
“I’m not opposed to big-budget films, and there are certain directors that I absolutely love that do them – Guillermo [del Toro], David Fincher. But it’s a fine line. Maybe I’ll just do Portlandia! I could just walk around going, ‘Cacao! Cacao!’”
Looks like Reedus is open to trying new things if the role is right, just don’t expect him to walk around looking like a pastry anytime soon.
You can catch Reedus as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead which airs Sundays on AMC.
