Owen Wilson Rejects $12 Million Role in O.J. Simpson Film

Actor Owen Wilson declined a major role in a controversial film portraying O.J. Simpson as innocent, citing moral objections.

Owen Wilson turned down a $12 million offer to star as attorney Douglas McCann in 'The Juice', a film asserting O.J. Simpson's innocence.
The film, directed by Joshua Newton, has faced significant casting challenges and public scrutiny due to its controversial subject matter.
Despite substantial financial incentives, Wilson's refusal highlights his commitment to personal ethics over lucrative opportunities.
The movie, still in production, aims to release by October 2025, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Simpson's acquittal.
Public reactions are mixed, with some praising Wilson's decision as a stand for integrity, while others express curiosity about the film's narrative.
