Shocking reports are going on to speak about how actor Robert Downey Jr owes Ironman co-star Terrence Howard a staggering amount of money.
When we say the amount is huge, well, we’re not kidding. Think along the lines of $100 million. And despite Howard being the highest-paid actor there, the fact that he’s making these claims is beyond appalling to some.
In an interview for Rolling Stone in the year 2015, Howard explained in bold terms how the bosses at Marvel originally didn’t wish to book the Natural Born Killers star. They felt his past history related to drug issues could really impact the movie’s success.
But Howard says he was offered a paycheck of $3.5 million for the first part of Iron Man and another staggering $5 million if the film got a sequel. So he agreed to take the $1 million pay cut from his salary, provided they approved him and book him for the film.
And guess what, they did. Now, the star from The Empire says Robert must be so thankful to me and dadadadaadaa.
When things came down to Iron Man 2, the situation got a little sour. A phone call was received by Howard’s agent on how they were cutting down his role in the sequel. And that meant his salary would be cut too.
On that note, his agent refused the offer. And in no time, he was replaced by actor Don Cheadle.
As you can imagine, the move was very shocking and Howard didn’t like it one bit. He was so disappointed at what had taken place. So he chose to turn to Robert Downey Junior.
But he never heard back from the celeb.
No matter how many calls he left behind and how many text messages, there was just no response from his side. And that’s when he said, ‘guess who got the millions that I was supposed to get. It was my friend Robert. He got the entire franchise so if you look at it, he owes me the staggering $100 million”- the actor concluded.
