Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio had been offered roles in the hit movie 'Brokeback Mountain', but they declined.
"Nobody wanted to do it. I was working on it, and I felt like we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast," Fox news quoted Sant as saying.
The 65-year-old director further mentioned that apart from Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt; Matt Damon and Ryan Phillippe also denied playing a part in the movie.
Ultimately, Hollywood actors Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal grabbed the lead roles in the movie which had hit theatres in 2005.
