Top 10 Actors Who Hated Their Most Profitable Performances

7 George Clooney

When George Clooney was cast in 1997’s Batman and Robin, he was at just the beginning of his silver screen career. He had recently made the transition from ERR to Hollywood films. Joel Schumacher’s picture did very well, thanks to the loyalty of his Batman fans. But Clooney would remain haunted by the mediocre performance as Dark Knight for many years.

Clooney has often expressed regret at ever being offered the role. Clooney once said that the greatest lesson he ever learned was that it was wrong. Clooney realized that his talents could be better used in comedic films like Disney’s brother, where art Thou?.

Clooney was able to leave an indelible legacy as one of Hollywood’s best leading men. But even diehard Clooney fanatics have to admit it was touch and go following his superhero run. Clooney said that he wouldn’t touch the Batsuit with a 10-foot pole if he had the chance to portray Bruce Wayne once again.
