Hollywood star Uma Thurman is very jealous of the huge success The Lord Of The Rings film franchise has achieved, only because she turned down a leading role in the smash hit trilogy.The actress was approached by acclaimed director Peter Jackson to play an integral part in the screen adaptations of J.R. Tolkein’s beloved books, but had to pass on the role because she had just given birth. And the star is devastated she missed out on the career-making role, but admits the offer came at the wrong time. She tells U.S website MTV.com, "Yeah, I was asked. I wish I had done it. I had a small child at the time, and I couldn’t go away for a year. I was just too attached to home. It just caught me at the wrong moment. "Oh, I truly wish I could’ve been able to take that plunge, and maybe I should’ve, but I just couldn’t at the time.
