some actors can sure be divas hey guys
it's Phoebe with WatchMojo today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
crazy actor contract demands if you like
what you're hearing be sure to check out
the full song at the link below
[Music]
we're taking a look at the most
ludicrous things that actors have
demanded Wow on set most of these are
alleged requests because it's difficult
to verify let's get to it
number 10 can't lose a fight in a movie
Vin Diesel
the rock and Jason Statham The Fast &
Furious franchise features plenty of
fight scenes but some of them are more
strictly negotiated than you would
imagine well once you dig through 30
feet of concrete and steel my fist
antibody back will be waiting for you on
the other side that's because three of
the action stars who have appeared in
this series
Vin Diesel Dwayne the rock Johnson and
Jason Statham all have stipulations in
their contracts that put limitations on
how bad of a beating they can take on
screen my dad said he kicked your ass
once young lady and watch your mouth
considering they're often fighting
against one another
it makes things pretty tricky Johnson
said to USA Today quote it's not always
easy being an alpha and it's two alphas
number 9 no mirrors in heaven Gary Busey
Gary Busey starred in the 2003 film
Quigley in which he played a man who was
reincarnated as a Pomeranian what about
the really nice move he just made on the
briefcase when dogs have to go they go
quick if you haven't heard of it we'll
give you a pass because it wasn't
exactly well received there's one scene
in the film that's supposed to take
place in heaven but when he arrived on
set Busey demanded that they restage it
why because according to Busey he had
already died and gone to heaven in real
life and could report that there were
definitely no mirrors there so of course
all the mirrors had to be removed from
the set number eight live lobsters Paris
Hilton considering her high-class tastes
and high-maintenance reputation it will
probably come as no surprise that Paris
Hilton has made some outlandish writer
requests in her day when she was
supposed to make a cameo appearance
playing herself in the 2010 comedy flick
the other guys she allegedly made a
three-page list of requests which caused
her to be booted from the production the
list included Grey Goose vodka and four
live lobsters to be brought to her
whenever she wanted them think there's a
chance she just didn't want to be in the
movie number seven
trailer for workout gear Will Smith we
know that some stars have pretty lavish
trailers when they're filming a movie
especially when they're shooting far
from home but Will Smith really took it
to the next level when he was filming
men in black 3 in New York City
he received a massive two-story 1150
square foot two bedroom trailer which
was valued at approximately two million
dollars but that wasn't enough he also
needed an extra trailer just for his
workout equipment yep that's right he
couldn't manage to squeeze any exercise
into the first one not only that he was
also renting a five bedroom apartment
nearby number six no British accents
Daniel day-lewis Daniel day-lewis may
have taken home a Best Actor Oscar for
his role as Abraham Lincoln in 2012's
biopic Lincoln but it sure was a long
road to get there the actor had numerous
requests on set to accommodate the fact
that he wanted to be in character at all
times I carry within me you must allow
me to do it he allegedly didn't break
character for three whole months and
even requested that everyone even
director Steven Spielberg called him mr.
Lincoln he also forbade anyone with a
British accent from talking to him
because it would throw off his method
thank you risk it all number five a new
pair of underwear every day Eddie Murphy
when Eddie Murphy shoots a movie he
likes to feel fresh and that includes
wearing a new pair of underwear and
socks every day that doesn't seem too
unreasonable right let us clarify we
mean brand new like with the tags on
allegedly he wears everything once and
throws it away rather than washing and
reusing it you know like a normal person
let's just say in this day and age where
we're all trying to be a bit more
ecologically conscious he might consider
putting a stop to these wasteful habits
number for an entire hotel floor Justin
Timberlake we get it celebrities need
their privacy and don't want to bump
into fence while they're walking to the
ice machine in their bathrobe okay they
probably have people for that but Justin
Timberlake allegedly took it to the next
level when he requested that he have an
entire floor of a hotel without any
other guests on it when he stayed at New
Orleans Windsor Court Hotel he
reportedly also asked the staff to clean
his doorknobs every two hours we can
understand being a bit germaphobic but
that's a little much no problem as long
as you get your feet off my bed they're
disgusting number three a rainbow on
wheels
Will Ferrell we know Will Ferrell has a
good sense of humor but did you know
that it translates to his riders as well
my throat's sore had a sore throat for a
month and a half and this is not an
acoustic environment that's suitable to
request this from me people don't
usually advocate making jokes in legal
documents but we can't imagine this was
anything other than something to make
the lawyers laugh when he was working on
semi-pro Ferrell asked for one rainbow
on wheels stipulating that it could be
painted on canvas as well as a 15 to
20-foot tall fake tree and a Janet
Jackson style headset microphone what
was this all for perhaps we'll never
know number two a specific shade of
toilet paper
barbra streisand some requests seems so
bizarre that they can't possibly be true
but hey all rumors start somewhere
Barbra Streisand is one of the best
known divas out there and has made a lot
of requests to back up her reputation
she has asked for rose petals in her
toilets designer lamps and towels but
most notably she asked for a specific
shade of toilet paper to match the color
of her skin does such a thing even exist
have we been missing out on colored
toilet paper all these years what is
Babs know that we don't number one
custom thongs Tom Cruise Tom Cruise is
known for doing his own stunts but after
you learned this factoid you may look at
his plane jumps and building climbs a
bit differently Cruz allegedly needs a
very particular type of undergarment in
order to perform those death-defying
stunts a thong he requests that there be
up to 50 soft stretchy thongs on set
when he has to do action sequences
because they reportedly improve his
flexibility hey it kind of makes sense
slightly less sensational is the fact
that Cruz actually insisted on hiring
his own screenwriter when working on
2017 s The Mummy do you agree with our
picks let us know in the comments and
