It would be hard to imagine that an actor would give up the opportunity to star alongside one of the biggest Hollywood actors, Tom Cruise. However, Czech model and actress Eva Herzigova did something similar when she was offered to star in the 1999 mystery psychological drama Eyes Wide Shut. The film follows Dr. Bill Hartford, who goes on a night-long adventure and encounters an unnamed secret society after his wife, Alice Harford, admits that she considered having an affair.

While it did quite well at the box office, the Stanley Kubrick film also received criticism for its erotic nature. People were angry with the amount of s*xual and nude scenes and the strong language used in the movie. While talking to New York Times, Eva Herzigova also seems to be stating something similar for rejecting the offer for Eyes Wide Shut.

After starring on the cover pages of Elle, Vogue, and Top Model, Eva Herzigova tried her luck in acting in the 1990s. Followed by a few appearances on screen, she was offered a role in Tom Cruise’s 1999 film, Eyes Wide Shut. The film reportedly went through multiple casting changes before the Mission Impossible star and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, landed the lead roles.

Starring in a Stanley Kubrick film alongside two well-known stars in the industry would have been a great opportunity for the model-turned-actor. However, she denied the offer. Herzigova talked about rejecting the proposal later in an interview. The Storyteller actress shared that the makers only “needed a model”, who was given only three scenes in the entire film, and she had to do all three scenes totally naked.

However, the other two scenes featured her character using drugs, and in her third and final scene, her character was dead. The Les Anges Gardiens actress shared that although she was looking for opportunities in acting, she did not want to pursue it in the manner, it was expected in the film.

“I just didn’t want to start out that way,” she shared. The 50-year-old model actress shared that she tried to convince the makers to make certain changes in the character so that she could “wear a little something,” but all her requests were denied, leading her to withdraw from Eyes Wide Shut.
