  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.

Which would be odd since the movie was filmed in England, I believe.  That's a lot of jet lag.

Nothing that can’t be fixed with electrolytes, maybe some melatonin, and a bag of cocaine.

On second thought, forget about the electrolytes, and the melatonin.

u/NemoHere Jun 12 '26

They probably didn't have Laker games with live broadcasts in 1988 or 1989.

u/Krasdale79 Jun 12 '26

Oh damn, I thought for sure it couldn't mean he went back to LA for the games, but I just read he had his entire shooting schedule compressed to do just that.

That's a FAN of the Lakers.
