Actor Djimon Hounsou admits to being broke as fukk despite being in the movie industry over 2 decades

[FaTaL]

His been in the industry long enough to have set something up surely? Google says he was worth 35 million in 2024.

It's why a lot of actors get into producing or exec producing their own stuff. You try and get films and shows you want produced. You can't act forever and you want to have a say in your career.

You also can't wait for these studios to come to you unless you scorching hot. Damn shame tbh.
His also 60yrs old. He won't be getting the roles he used to.

That means he won't be getting the pay he used to get either.

are those google stats even reliable, where are they getting these numbers? even if the numbers were right we dont know his spending habits.

dont actors have a pension? dont they have the best healthcare as well?

 

[FTBS]

Actors, especially black ones, dont get paid like we think they do. And for movie actors you are unemployed between films. And if we keeping it all the way real, most people are not disciplined or knowledgeable financially. It tracks.

I tried to give him some work. nikka act like he was too good to do a street comedy

 

[King Poetic]

Skimming through some articles he usually get 6 figures for films

But if u count taxes, agent/management fees at the end he get lower 6 figures

He’s 60 years old and just like tariji they didn’t learn how to produce/direct

[Richard Glidewell]

Obligatory

I hope bruh wins. He looks like he'll have a big role in the next a Quiet Place 4 movie, since it has them going to the island shown in a Quiet Place 2....speculating.

If you're still struggling to make ends meet after being in a particular industry for so long, then maybe you should pivot to something else.

Breh is study getting roles/work. The access is there with being able to do what he loves. His gripe is being underpaid.

Him, Seal, Michael Blackson, Trevor Noah, Idris and the Somali would said "I'm the captain now" could do a Real Africans of Hollywood.

No way I can get those big checks and not be investing and setting myself up. Buying rental properties and ish.

Actors are theater kids, they don't have that mentality. They're just fakkits that wanna play dress up and pretend to be other people.

Marry Kimora Breh.
