Read this: 20 things you probably didn't know about Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz
"Literally, while I was filming this, my manager called me and they were like, 'You've been offered a role in the next X-Men,'" Pete recalls. "'It's a really small role. You're going to have to fly right from the F*@#ing Ben Affleck shoot to Australia to film it. And they need to know right now.' And so I was like, 'Okay, cool. Let me think about it.' I go on, I film the F*@#ing Ben Affleck thing with this guy, Dominic Monaghan. He's in Lord Of The Rings, you know, whatever? Really cool, really funny. We're paired together in the song.
"And I get home from the shoot and I'm like, 'Yeah, I want to go do X-Men. I don't really care what I have to miss. Fly me to Australia.' And my manager was like, 'Well, while you were thinking about it, they actually cast the role.' I was like, 'Fuck.'"
He continues: "And they were like, 'Oh yeah, it's this guy Dominic Monaghan doing the part.' I was like, 'Are you fucking kidding me?! I was literally just standing to this guy.' And if he wasn't so nice, I'd be fucking furious. But I think that was my one chance. We might have been sitting here doing In Defence of Pete Wentz as an X-Men character.
"When I watch the movie, I see his character and I'm always like, 'That could have been me,' you know? And it's this tiny little character and it's this tiny little blip of a role that he probably doesn't even think about ever. I don't know."
