Josh Hartnett, who is now making a comeback in his big-budget movie Trap, revealed that he turned down the role of Superman in two separate projects due to the overwhelming amount of attention he was receiving from fans and the media. He explained that people's obsession with him at the time was "borderline unhealthy," and he had experienced incidents where people showed up at his house and stalked him. The breaking point for Hartnett was when a man showed up at one of his premieres with a gun, falsely claiming to be his father. This incident, which occurred in 2005, resulted in the individual being sent to prison. Although Hartnett never completely gave up acting, he started taking on more offbeat and less high-profile projects. This led some outlets to assume that he had abandoned his career altogether. However, he continued to receive critical acclaim for his performances. Hartnett is now determined to strike a harmonious balance between his work and personal life.
