Weird Things Celebrities Put in Their Contracts


We recently heard that Tom Cruise has a clause in his movie contracts stating that his likeness can’t be used on merchandise.  Well, here are some weird and / or interesting things other celebs have put in theirs:

1.  Keanu Reeves has a “no digital editing” clause, because years ago, a tear was digitally added to his face and it changed his performance.

2.  Jack Nicholson demanded extra time off from shooting “Batman” so he wouldn’t miss any Laker games.

3.  Queen Latifah refuses to die in any of her movies. That way, she can always be in the sequel.

4.  Mark Wahlberg had a clause in his contract for “Silver Linings Playbook” that guaranteed him $900,000 if Anne Hathaway dropped out of the movie.  She did but he quit first, so he didn’t get the payout.

5.  Samuel L. Jackson demands time off to play golf twice a week.  He also makes sure it’s in his contract that he doesn’t have to do a second take if he thinks he nailed it the first time.

6.  Barbra Streisand demands peach-colored toilet paper to match her skin tone and rose petals in the toilet bowl.

7.  “Fast and Furious” stars The Rock, Jason Statham, and Vin Diesel all refused to be depicted as the loser in a fight so Diesel devised a point system based on the number of kicks, punches, and headbutts each of them delivered and received.
