KNOXVILLE WANTED JOHNNY CASH ROLE

DUKES OF HAZZARD star JOHNNY KNOXVILLE is still ruing losing out on playing JOHNNY CASH in WALK THE LINE - but thinks JOAQUIN PHOENIX was the perfect choice.

JOHNNY KNOXVILLE

Knoxville admits he would have been all wrong to play the country legend in the hit 2005 biopic - but he would have loved to have been given the chance.

He says, "In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't get that (part). Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor, but he's playing an American icon, my hero.

"You don't want some Hollywood actor; you want a real motherf**ker."
