‘Big Bang Theory’ Set Secrets You Might Not Know (Including the Role Intended for Sandra Bullock!)
Macaulay Culkin was reported offered a spot on the show but instead threw shade at it…
While The Big Bang Theory was beloved to many of its dedicated fans, it wasn’t a hit for everyone. As it turns out, Macaulay Culkin was offered a spot on the show but was less than impressed by the pitch.
“They pursued me for The Big Bang Theory. And I said no. It was kind of like, the way the pitch was, ‘Alright, these two astrophysicist nerds and a pretty girl lives with them. Yoinks!’ That was the pitch. And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m cool, thanks.’ And then they came back at me again, and I said, ‘No, no, no. Again, flattered, but no.’ Then they came back at me again, and even my manager was like twisting my arm,” he said during an appearance on Joe Rogan‘s podcast in 2018.
He continued, adding, “I’d have hundreds of millions of dollars right now if I did that gig. At the same time, I’d be bashing my head against the wall.”
