Nelly Furtado turned down a role in the 2002 comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding, a decision she later came to regret. She recalled during a facebook live. “I was supposed to be in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. That was a fail. I was supposed to be one of the sisters or something. I’m Portuguese and I can pass as Greek. I must have been really busy or something. I don’t know what happened! You never know what’s what. I don’t think I ever read the script.”
