I love Eminem but I can't imagine him as Hoyt. I think because I can't picture Eminem being submissive and because he has a permanent "*beep* You" attitude (that I love). Granted the role was written as Hoyt being a good guy but still... It definitely would have been interesting, especially the scenes with Dr. Dre. :D
shareEminem would have been awful in this role. Thank god for 8 mile cos this movie could've been a piece of *beep* And I wouldn't of liked Toby Maguire in this either he'd be a whiney little bitch. Ethan is perfect
shareThat's weird. To me he seems like a submissive bitch acting like fraud because of how much of one he is. The Fuq you attitude is just him being upset that he has to live a lie to get any recognition or have any worth. It also sells well to his retarded angsty fan base.
shareI never heard Eminem was even considered. I heard Tobey Maguire was considered for Jake. Tobey maybe could have worked, but no for Eminem
For Alonso, I heard they considered John Travolta and Mel Gibson , who both might have worked
