8 Real, But Extremely Weird Celebrity Contract Demands (9 Photos)
The stars have their own "things". They add "wants" directly into contracts so that producers know what requirements must be met.
Jason Statham often stars in action films. He has to fight with many heroes in the stories. He had an agreement with the studio that limited how badly he could be beaten on screen. This is probably due to the fact that the actor does not want his characters to look like losers.
For Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, they even specially changed the script so that during one of the fights his hero would not lie down, but sit, because his image of the hero should not suffer much during the filming process. Role is very important for actors!
Basketball star Michael Jordan forced his agents to sign a contract allowing him to play basketball whenever and wherever he wanted. Usually players have to agree to a ban on games outside of official and practice games, but not Michael. It is no coincidence that such prohibitions appeared, because as a result of playing outside a tournament, you can accidentally get injured.
Vin Diesel specifically set the number of hits he receives during fights. They must not exceed a certain number!
According to the contract, Johnny Depp receives a fee regardless of whether he appears in the film. Only big stars can take advantage of this privilege. Typically, such clauses are included so that the actor can receive money if, for example, filming is constantly moving, and it is no longer possible to take part in another project. So, during the proceedings with his ex-wife, when Depp was fired from Fantastic Beasts, the actor still received a fee, although he did not play.
Samuel L. Jackson loved golf so much that he wrote it into his contract. Now the actor has the opportunity to always, 2 times a week, have the opportunity to play golf during filming.
Queen Latifah stated in the agreement that she would not die in films. The reason is simple: then, according to the actress, she will not be able to play in the continuation of the film. Quite logical, well, does anyone like to look at their own death, even if it’s fake?
Jack Nicholson loves watching Lakers games. He's been buying season tickets to every game since the 1970s. A prerequisite for his contact is compliance with one point: he must be present at all games in person. ![]()
