...would have been a better choice for Juliet. Baz Luhrmann talks about her being an actress considered for the role in one of the special features. He said she was too short but surely they could have came up with ways to make her look taller? I thought Claire Danes did a fine job I just think Portman would have been better suited to the role.
shareAbsolutely, Natalie should have been cast.
Plus I never get the impression Tom Cruise is short in his films, so its something that can differently be hidden.
Natalie Portman is also a much better actress than Vlaire Danes and her beauty can hold up to Olivia Hussey in 1968. Danes has always looked neanderthal-ish to me and quite ugly to be frank.
shareNone of them were looking interesting and charismatic for that role.
