20 Actor Contract Demands That Are Just Wild (And Hilarious!)

Keanu isn’t having any of that deepfake stuff. He made sure no one can digitally mess with his face on screen. Why? Because someone once sneakily added a tear to his face in a movie, and that totally creeped him out. So now, his moves are all authentically Keanu - no tech magic allowed!

Garry Marshall wasn’t just about the movies, he had his best mate locked in for life! He made sure his friend Hector Elizondo got a role in every single film Garry directed - yes, every one! Hector didn’t even know about this sneaky contract perk for years. Talk about friendship goals.

Sam’s idea of work-life balance includes a limo to the golf course! His contract lets him golf twice a week during filming, and the studio even pays green fees and rides! Plus, no annoying retakes for him. That’s how you stay on point and on par.

Paris reportedly handed over a three-page list of demands for just one day on set, including freshly prepared live lobsters and a bottle of Grey Goose. The producers were gobsmacked! Though her team denied the lobster saga, it’s a wild story that’s stuck around. Lobsters for one day? Fancy!

Filming a steamy four-way scene? Lindsay agreed - but she made the director shed his clothes to help her feel comfy! That’s next-level acting support right there. Plus, she wasn’t paid much upfront but got a piece of the profits. Talk about strange but true shoot stories.

Tom’s no stranger to control freak mode. For a movie, he demanded his own writers to jazz up his lines and make the film all about him. Also, stunt man Tom insisted on custom-made thongs to keep things comfy during those wild stunts. Who knew thongs could be Hollywood gear?

After being shot up way too many times on screen, Queen Latifah said, "Nope, that’s it!" She made sure her contract said her characters can’t die anymore, because hey, you gotta keep the sequels coming. Her characters live, and that’s the royal order.

Even though his character didn’t last long in the movie, George made sure he had his own private beach hut with a basketball court on set - right in London! This mini California getaway was so cool, his co-star and her kid even got to hang out there. Beach vibes meet movie magic.

For 2008’s Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell asked for the quirkiest props ever: a big rainbow on wheels, a giant fake tree on wheels, a flight of stairs on wheels, and even a mobility scooter. It sounds random, but he actually used them to get into character. Only Will.

While filming Men in Black 3, Will Smith demanded not one, but two massive trailers - one to live in and another just for his kettlebells and fitness stuff. These trailers were so big neighbors complained and city officials had to move them. Gym time never looked so glamorous!

Uma wanted the royal treatment for her never-made movie: no one else got better dressing rooms, she got a three-bedroom hotel suite, and a triple dose of mobile phones. Plus, half-off on costumes and wigs, and no tobacco or weapon merch with her name on it. Diva? Maybe. But hey, she’s Uma!

Legend says Barbra wanted rose petals in her toilet bowl and peach-colored toilet paper. She calls it a wild rumor from hotel cleaners though, saying she really only wanted fresh flowers in her dressing room. But hey, the image of rose petal toilets is just too funny to ignore.

When Jack played the Joker, he negotiated loads of days off just so he could catch Los Angeles Lakers home games. He even had his scenes shot in a tight schedule to keep his courtside routine alive. Batman watching Lakers games in the dressing room? Priceless.

For Dhoom 3, Aamir Khan supposedly put his foot down and prevented any more sequels after that one. No official word, but insiders say the studio agreed it to keep the superstar happy. Aamir knows when to call it quits.

The Golden Girl sure knew how to keep her style. Rue’s contract let her keep every outfit she rocked on the show. Her massive collection of gowns, blazers, and nightwear ended up filling 13 closets! Fashion goals unlocked.

The Fast & Furious stars didn’t want any one of them looking like the punching bag. So, they put punch and kick limits in their contracts - each hit had a point value! The fights got choreographed to keep the scoreboard even. Hollywood fight math is a thing, apparently.

Mark made sure if Anne Hathaway ditched Silver Linings Playbook, he’d get a cool $900,000. When Anne did leave, he bailed too. The roles got swapped out for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Talk about a fancy backup plan.

As James Bond, Roger Moore demanded endless Montecristo cigars on set. They weren’t cheap, either - one film’s cigar bill was over $7,000! The guy always had a stogie handy to keep the spy vibe 100% authentic.

Steve was super competitive and made sure he had the same number of lines and equal billing as Paul Newman in The Towering Inferno. He even had his name appear first on posters and got the last line in the movie. No more Mr. Nice Guy, Steve.

Andy wanted his wild lounge-singer alter ego Tony Clifton to be on Taxi at least once. Sometimes Andy played Tony, sometimes a buddy did - but Tony was a total scene-stealer who nearly shut down the show. Cast members weren’t sure whether to laugh or scream!
