Taraji P. Henson obtained an nomination for the actress of the best help for the 2008 The curious case of Benjamin ButtonBut years later, she was still launched by the $ 150,000 she accepted in the film – after the producers rejected the $ 500,000 quote she brought to the table.
As for the film’s tracks Brad Pitt And Cate Blanchett“You no longer hear a lot of quotes of $ 20 million, but for the moment, it happened,” said Henson Ladies first with Laura Brown Podcast in 2021. “And rightly – I don’t say they shouldn’t have paid Cate and Brad what they deserved.”
But, she continued: “I also bring a certain amount to the siege and I had the impression that what I asked at that time in my career was just, was just for the sales of tickets that I would contribute to this great film. I wouldn’t do it. ” Henson was “emptied” when they offered $ 100,000, she recalls. “When everything was said and done, I got $ 150,000, but I had to swallow my pride, baby.”
The decomposing: “I know people go”, $ 150,000 is a lot of money! “Recognized Henson. “I never want people to think I’m ungrateful because it’s not me.” But, she calculated: “Uncle Sam will take 50%, so now you end up with, what? $ 75,000. Now, before Uncle Sam took the money, I have to pay my team before the taxes, 30%. So, the uncle Sam takes its $ 75, so I had another 30 that leave this 75, so I may have won $ 40,000?
