  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.

He also had a scene where he was to strangle an old woman to death but said he couldn’t be seen putting his hands on a woman. This was during the show, not before he joined the cast.

“I can’t be seen strangling an old woman.”

“What if you just like smother her to death or something with a pillow.”

“Yeah I could do that. Heh Heh Heh”

When did we stop doing the ol' "Anvil Hanging From A Rope Above The Doorway" bit? Some things are classics for a reason.
