The ‘Instinct’ actor was approached to play the role of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in ‘Chamber of Secrets’. Later, the role went to Kenneth Branagh.

As reported on Just Jared, a salary dispute is what led to Alan telling the producers to “f–k off.” “I didn’t turn it down. I told them to f–k off!” Alan told The Telegraph.

“They wanted me and Rupert Everett to do a screen test, and they said they couldn’t pay me more than a certain sum, they just didn’t have any more money in the budget. And I had the same agent as Rupert, who of course, they were going to pay more. Blatantly lying, stupidly lying, as well. Like, if you’re going to lie, be clever about it,” the 56-year-old said.

Alan added, “I said, tell them to f–k right off. And thought, well Rupert’s going to get the part. They made him screen test, and I remember he brought his own wig. And then they f**king gave it to Kenneth Branagh, came out of the shadows.”
