According to Woody Harrelson, his family attempted to discourage him from accepting a role in "Solo: A Star Wars Story" before he eventually accepted it. "They wanted me to come home, and understandably. I did turn it down. Then I did end up doing it. And I?m glad, because the friendships I?ve formed now [on the movie], I can?t imagine not knowing these guys," said Harrelson. Harrelson's family's request was understandable, as big-budget films can take a lot of time to shoot.
