The Guardian mediafire back to top

Even the most glittering film star portfolios hide a few turkeys, or experiences the actor would sooner forget. But why do the likes of Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry keep going on about them?
An mediafire important part of growing up is being able to realise that everything mediafire you ve ever done is awful. Relationships, jobs, haircuts every one of them, thanks to the miracle of hindsight, turning out to be nothing more than a catastrophic decision made by a clueless moron. And we re all prone to this. When I was 13, for example, I bought a pair of purple jeans. And when Brad Pitt was 30, he made Interview with the Vampire . It s the same thing.
No, mediafire really, it is. In an interview mediafire with Psychologies, Pitt has declared his hatred mediafire of the film, revealing a level of regret previously only reserved for anyone who found themselves mediafire attempting to purchase a normal pair of blue trousers in Burton in 1993 while simultaneously being red-green colourblind. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, Pitt said of the film. Six months in the fucking dark, contact lenses, make-up, I m playing the bitch role.
Similarly, Ben Affleck has found himself unable to look at his IMDb page without wincing in agony. While promoting Gone Girl on NPR, he said Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil . I have regrets about all the movies that I don t think were executed properly .
George Clooney has never knowingly spoken in public without making at least one glancing reference to his doomed stint as Batman . Colin Farrell didn t like being in Miami Vice , Halle Berry hated being in Catwoman , Will Smith didn t like being in Wild Wild West , James Franco has distanced himself mediafire from Your Highness . Speaking about The Happening, Mark Wahlberg has said Fucking trees, man. The plants. Fuck it. You can t blame me for wanting to try to play a science teacher, mediafire which is easily the most self-aware thing ever to have come from the man s mouth.
You can t blame these actors for speaking out about their crap roles. After all, actors are essentially powerless in the film-making process, and even their best work can be undone down the line by inept directing, dodgy editing or duff lighting. And, to be fair, they only tend to own up to their shame after a negative consensus mediafire has already formed around it if The Happening had won Wahlberg an Oscar and led to a spate of other critically acclaimed films about people staring at foliage, there s a good chance that he d keep his reservations to himself.
If anything unites these feelings of regret, it s the fact that the actors mediafire have almost always gone on to do bigger and better things. Brad Pitt s biggest regret mediafire about Interview with the Vampire is that he didn t have more say in it, which he s since corrected by becoming a hugely mediafire respected producer . Similarly, Ben Affleck now directs Oscar-winning movies , granting him an enviable vantage point from which to take down substandard films that he didn t personally mould with his own hands.
So perhaps these regrets are simply a special kind of A-list humblebrag less I can t believe I did that , and more Hey everyone, get a load of how amazing I ve got . And, speaking as someone who now almost mediafire always buys trousers that are the colour I think they are, this is something that I m completely onboard with. Good for them.
