Shrek is a classic, though admittedly I only saw it for the first time, like, three years ago. It’s hilarious and just so good, but it’s also a bit different than was originally planned. While Mike Myers voiced the eponymous role, originally it was meant to be Chris Farley as Shrek before his untimely death, and now footage of Chris testing out the part has been released.
Well, that’s certainly a different interpretation, but to be honest, I kind of like Mike Myers in the role (and I’m not even a big Mike Myers fan). To be honest, I was never a massive Chris Farley fan on SNL or in any of his films, either, but I understand that many people were and that seeing this will be really interesting.
What do you think? Would you have preferred Farley as Shrek, or are you a Myers fan?
