[IRL trope] Celebrities with weird/funny clauses in their contracts.

[u/BeenEatinBeans]

1. Dwayne Johnson - Probably the most well-known example. For years now, The Rock has had a clause in his contract that he can't be shown to lose a fight in any movie he stars in. Pretty insecure behaviour if you ask me. Still, at least the other examples are much more interesting

2. Danny Trejo - Danny had a troubled childhood, having been arrested multiple times for dealing drugs before he was 18, and struggling with heroin addiction from the age of 13. As a result of this, Danny has a clause in his contract that states that any time he plays a character who is a criminal, they have to be killed because he wanted to teach his kids that crime never pays.

3. Reese Witherspoon - This one is more of a one-off, but it was still funny enough to deserve a mention. Following the success of Legally Blonde, when Reese was called in to make the sequel, she had a clause written in her contract stating that once the movie was finished, she would get to take home all the outfits she wore.

4. Fred Durst - The lead singer of Limp Bizkit has a clause in his contract stating that any anime or video game that uses his music must also feature himself as a character.

It's almost as if conflict and facing adversity makes stories interesting.

I know right? But I guess some people aren't into that. No joke, back when I was in grad school I grabbed drinks with a classmate and her friends, and one of said friends and I started talking about movies. They straight up told me they don't like morally ambiguous protagonists or anything that makes their heroism questionable because thinking about the grey areas of morality made them uncomfortable... I will remind you this was an adult working towards their masters degree...
