OJ Simpson
According to famous director James Cameron, OJ Simpson was his first choice for playing The Terminator. The reason why Simpson didn’t end up getting the role is actually very surprising. Cameron felt it could offend audiences to have an African American man playing a character that intended to murder a white woman, despite the movie being a fictional story.
Could you imagine how the movie would have turned out if OJ Simpson played The Terminator? Sadly, but ironically enough, Cameron’s vision did end up becoming true – though this time, it wasn’t fiction at all. And I couldn’t end this paragraph without asking you: Did he do it or not?
