Walk the Line isn?t one of my all-time favorite films, but I enjoy it. I enjoy Joaquin Phoenix?s performance as Johnny Cash, and I enjoy Reese Witherspoon?s performance as June Carter (Cash). Joaquin and Reese had a lot of chemistry, and that helped sell the movie and their individual performances as those two iconic country stars. Even though neither of them was a ?perfect fit? for those roles, it really worked, and both were nominated for awards across the board, with Reese even taking home the Best Actress Oscar. My point is that even though the film is far from perfect, I like it just as it is and I couldn?t imagine anyone else doing a better job in those roles. But according to Russell Crowe, he was offered the role of Johnny Cash before Joaquin, and he turned it down for reasons, and then he was sick about it once he saw the film:
Russell Crowe turned down the opportunity to star in a major Hollywood biopic. Speaking to Nova FMs Fitzy and Wippa on Sunday, the actor revealed he was offered his dream role to play musician Johnny Cash in 2005 movie Walk The Line. Russell explained that he decided against going ahead with the role because he felt that taking it would have led to him receiving praise he didnt think he had earned.
During his chat with the radio hosts, Russell was asked if there was a role hed been offered throughout his stellar movie career that he now regrets turning down.
The only one I have a tinge of regret about, really, and possibly do regret is turning down the Johnny Cash biopic, he confessed. It was one of those things of internal morality. It was like, This is a dream job for me! Id been playing, singing Johnny Cash songs since I was a little boy, but I felt that I would be then getting stuff that I hadnt earned.
Russell explained that he felt like hed be climbing on Johnny Cashs back to get Grammy nominations and said: It just felt wrong to me.
Although, he did admit that as soon as he saw the film, he was left questioning his decision. From the very first notes, when the camera is pushing through the prison, the knife jabs in the heart began, he said. Sharing his thoughts at the time, Russell added: Not only did I want to do the movie, but it was the exact kind of movie I wanted to do.

I think it?s fine for an actor to have regrets about turning down a role which later became another actor?s iconic performance. I even think it?s fine to talk about those regrets publicly as long as there?s some kind of context. But this came across as a bit rude towards Joaquin, right? I mean, Russell is praising the film and saying it turned out better than he could have imagined, but it also feels like Crowe is saying that looking back on it, he should have done it because maybe he could have done it better? Maybe I?m reaching with that, I know, but that?s why most actors don?t talk about which films they passed on, because it?s rude. Joaquin did a great job as Cash, and I believe Joaquin did a better job than Russell ever would have.
Just a reminder of what Russell looked like around that time. He really was one of the hottest actors out there, so it makes sense that he was offered the role. But still. Joaquin did it better.

Rachel Brosnahan has just been named the first celebrity spokesperson to represent the skincare line Cetaphil. Cetaphil is especially good for sensitive skin, which is why Rachel has used it for the last ten years on the advice of her mother. Rachel is also pretty plain spoken, which makes her the perfect relatable spokesperson for a brand that everyone can afford. And she does a good job talking about why Cetaphil is so integral to her skincare routine? well, Cetaphil and all the other skin care products she uses.
What?s your nighttime beauty routine like?
Hydration is basically what my entire nighttime routine is centered around. If I?m coming from work with a lot of makeup on my face, I?ll first remove some of the more makeup-y makeup with the Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Remover. Then, I wash my face with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, either with or without water depending on the type of day I?ve had. I have really sensitive skin, so if it?s particularly irritated ? if it?s really hot or really cold out, for example ? I?ll use it without water. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and hydrated. If I feel like I need a slightly deeper clean, I?ll use it with water.
I?ve been coupling that with the Vintner?s Daughter Botanical Serum which I was introduced to a couple months back. A couple times a week, I?ll use a mask after I take my makeup off and before I put the serum on. Joanna Vargas makes this Euphoria Face Mask that so good. It?s just dripping with good stuff. I love that you pull it out and it?s sopping wet. While I?m working, I try to keep my skin-care routine as simple as possible so that my skin doesn?t get too irritated or inflamed.

Now, nobodys asked me to be a celebrity spokesperson so I don?t know the ins and outs, but I thought the point of being paid by a brand was to hype that brand and that brand alone. Cetaphil is produced by Galderma Laboratories, who also makes Proactiv and Differin but none of the other brands Rachel is promoting. And she is promoting them because she mentions them in many interviews. I understand Cetaphil doesn?t make serums or face masks, but are all the others paying her too? I hope, at the very least, she?s getting gift baskets. I?m kind of splitting hairs here when in reality, I appreciate a skincare routine that mixes affordable with splurges. I need to finesse mine a little more because I know I?m paying too much for the stuff I use daily. I?m fine spending a little bit more for serums and moisturizers, but I bet I could find some less expensive cleansers. I do need a retinol that doesn?t dry the hell out of my upper lip area ? any suggestions?
Cetaphil isn?t the only deal Rachel has signed; she?s just inked a first-look deal with Amazon Studios. I?ve mentioned that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is not for me, but I really like Rachel so I?m happy to hear her star continues to rise. I don?t like her Midge character, but I think she has real acting chops so I?m looking forward to seeing her branch out. Also, Rachel is a ?crazy dog mom? who talks to her doggos all the time and see her time with them as ?self-care.? I love this. I will henceforth be working 15-minute self-care dog-snuggle breaks into my schedule.
