Severance's Guest Role Originally Offered to Barack Obama

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Ben Stiller revealed that the role of the talking Lumon building in the season two premiere of Severance was initially offered to former President Barack Obama. The stop-motion Lumon propaganda video featured a voiceover by Keanu Reeves, but the part could have been even more star-studded.

Stiller emailed President Obama through his lawyer, and received a personal response. While President Obama expressed enthusiasm for Severance and praised its first season, he declined the offer due to scheduling constraints. The role ultimately went to Keanu Reeves, who voiced the animated building in the acclaimed series.

Despite missing out on this opportunity, there's still hope that President Obama might make a cameo in future seasons of Severance. The show continues to draw large audiences for Apple TV+, and fans are eagerly speculating about potential guest appearances.
