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

[jadillac]

There's other jobs out there he could do besides working in a grocery store that's not public facing.

Let's not sit here and act like the grocery store and restaurants are the only jobs out there for those actors even if it probably does offer them the flexbilitly to move back and forth between their acting careers.

But he likely has no experience to provebto employers he has other skills.

Maybe he could be a worker on a set or something tho. That could be a good idea and they may see him and throw him in the project

That hasn't stopped people from pivoting to different careers before they had no experience in. Besides acting is experience in and of itself that could potentially carry over to different career pivots.

If anything is working against him, it's his age.

But when I post that a lot of young American brehs don’t get into acting because they don’t want to be seen as gay, people tell me I’m wrong

Those people don't live in the real world.

Take your cape off simp

First off, bytch, I was just asking why are you calling her that. I actually want her to be a whore. I just thought you had a legit reason calling her that you fukking worthless ass nikka. You can kill yourself too btw p*ssy.

Most stuff is going straight to online streaming and it does do a theater run most don’t do that well and hit streaming a month later.

Tv shows are more so where the money is at nowadays.

What role paid him that?

Amistad- Unknown actor
Gladiator- Mildly known actor
Guardians of the Galaxy?

How much do people think he made from Gladiator? Be would be lucky to see 50K. He probably had 5th or 6th billing. Remember, actors might work a month to two months on set. Remember, we are black.

Monique and Taraji didn’t show yall the game? That 35M is over inflated.

The actors and writer’s strike showed you all how much being an actor really pays.

He just saying that so Mrs Lee don’t take him to court

 

[Red11]

People keep saying he's a made millions of dollars, but I keep asking where it came from as he's never been an in demand actor like that and high on the roll call.

Even in A Quiet Place 2, he was only in the movie for just a few minutes and roll could have been filled by anyone else.

Folks really didn't listen to Tiraji...

Living in Cali+Divorces and women+ Agents (10-15%) + Kids+ Taxes 46% (Fed 37% and 10 percent State income tax in California) = 1 million might make it 3 years if stretched.

Not surprising. My girlfriend is an actor and we were in L.A this summer and we met up with a friend she went to NYU drama with who was on the FX show Justified for ALL of the seasons as a main cast member and she STILL hasn't even paid off her student loan debt.

shyt is a fantasy.

 

[King Poetic]

His biggest opportunity to clean up was early 2000s when he was on point

Have to look at your team/management for contracts they did for u

One thing I like what the rock said he did, was fire his whole team and got a team who knew how to get where he is in Hollywood and get paid..

And Rock is a terrible actor

I wish the brother the best and hope he can get a role where he can cashed out

 

[jackswstd]

He definitely should’ve been a bigger star. He’s a capable actor but perhaps his agent or management never put in the effort to get him those big roles.

The same Monique that thought she deserved a 1 million dollar Netflix deal just cause she was on Precious

 

[SNG]

Honestly we at the point where we don’t need Hollywood to be the gate keepers. The movie industry is dying and if it ain’t a blockbuster title and the odds of it being successful at the box office is risky these days. Netflix and streaming has pretty much destroyed it especially now how we consume film and Tv now.

This is where there’s an oppurtunity fol black producers and directors.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

be single, live in an 11k a month 4 bedroom house in LA breh. a luxury high rise 1-2 bedroom condo downtown was all he needed.

 

[Mac Ten]

Dude better go to television then and get some VA gigs…


Those Hollywood blockbuster days are over.


It worked for Mark Hamill.

Dijimon Hounsou better either do that or start directing and producing
