no, don't think he was much on that hollywood life.

He was making $20 mil for rush hour......he just didnt manage his taxes well.

I think he was fine just chilling and living his life
he only made 20 mil for the last one

I voted yes. He coulda been THAT dude for about a decade. EVERYONE loved him.

His run from '95-'01:

Friday
Dead Presidents
The Fifth Element
Money Talks
Jackie Brown
Rush Hour
Rush Hour 2

Those were all hits and he was a leading role in three of the last four.

In my opinion, there aren't really any movie STARS anymore. Chris Tucker had star power; presence. He definitely sold himself short.

More like he got hella rich and kicked back like any normal black person from the hood would do. He was a comedian first. The roles he got were more because there was a demand for him after his first 2-3 films and he took the cheques. Ya'll just hating for no reason. He's living the life. Why make bs hollywood movies when you already have a 90% success rate in the few films you got. Again because they wanted him, not cause he wanted to be in those movies. Also, he's a born again christian now. Not a lot of films he would be willing to do due to him being type cast as an angry black man that curses a lot and smokes weed.
