Will Smith (left) turned down the role of the lead in The Matrix, which, of course, went to Keanu Reeves, who thanks Smith because that franchise made so much money that Reeves and his children will never have to work again. Can’t say we fault Smith, however, as he ran off one of the greatest strings of consecutive $100 million blockbuster movies in the history of motion pictures during the 1990s and new millennium.
