Actor Nicolas Cage, who is usually choosy about his roles, has admitted that he turned down a role in Peter Jackson's iconic movie series The Lord of the Rings trilogy. "There were different things going on in my life at the time that precluded me from being able to travel and be away from home for three years," said Cage who added that he was very grateful that he could enjoy the movies without being distracted. " I don't really watch my own movies. So I genuinely do have the joy of watching these, especially The Lord of the Rings," he said.Cage further aded that he had no regrests about passing on the role. " I think regret is a waste of time. I try to always move forward as opposed to dwelling on the past or the movies that might have happened," he said.
