If Gordon Cormier went with his first instinct, the latest live-action “Avatar: The Last Airbender” would have looked very different. The Netflix star stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Thursday night and spilled on why he almost turned down the big-budget project.
Originally, Cormier auditioned for the leading role of Avatar Aang when he was 11 years old. “Did you know you were going to get it when you walked in there?” Fallon asked.
“Actually, I turned down the audition when I first got it because I was a small 11 year old and they were looking for a 12-year-old,” Cormier recalled.
