Celebrities’ high demands are not new or surprising. In fact, sometimes very unusual demands are included in their contracts.
Keanu Reeves
In an interview with Wired in 2023, the 59-year-old actor confirmed that all his contracts included a clause prohibiting studios from digitally interfering with his performance.
Reeves said: “Yes, digitally. I don’t care if someone deletes when I edit how I blink. But my game changed in the early 2000s, or maybe the 90s. They added tears to my face and I just said “Huh?!” I thought. It’s like I don’t even need to be there.”
Reese Witherspoon
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show in 2019, Witherspoon admitted that she borrowed all of her character Elle Woods’ outfits from Legally Blonde 2.
“I bought my entire closet,” he said. “It was written in my contract.” The actor said he brought home 77 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes.
Lauren Graham
In an interview with SiriusXM in March 2021, Graham revealed that there was a clause in her contract that she could return to the role of Lorelai if another project decided to make a Gilmore Girls sequel.
“I include this feature in all my new business projects, just in case. “But there’s no point in that, I don’t want to start new rumors, there’s no specific reason for this.”
Samuel L. Jackson
“I can be a tough mentor to some directors,” Jackson admitted in a 2017 interview with the New York Times. The famous actor actually manages the set. He has been known to refuse to do extra takes if he thinks the scene is already perfect, but that’s not his only requirement.
The star also revealed that there was a clause in his contract that allowed him to play golf twice a week while filming. “They should let me play at least twice a week,” he said in a 2013 interview with CNN. “Typically I’m either sent to a golf course or I join a club to play there.”
Danny Trejo
Trejo confirmed his theory on social media in 2017, insisting that all the bad movie characters he played were dead. He wrote that he wanted “kids to understand that crime doesn’t pay.”
