Celebrities Who Regret Taking Famous Roles

Dev Patel in The Last Airbender

M. Knight Shyamalan's The Last Airbender was a complete flop in the box office and in the hearts of Avatar fans. Dev Patel played Prince Zuko but said that he couldn't relate to "the stranger on the screen" while watching himself in a preview of the film. The environment on set was also a horrible experience, and Patel said that, "I felt like I wasn't being heard. That was really scary for me, and that's really when I learned the power of no, the idea of saying no."
