Johnny Depp – ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’
John Hughes is a 1980s directing icon and he is revered for his work on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the script of which he wrote in just six days. The title role was originally offered to the then up-and-coming Johnny Depp. The creative, very likable, and smart character could have been a perfect role for Depp. However, due to scheduling issues, he turned down the gig. This allowed Matthew Broderick to come in and become an instant ’80s legend.
