There are such exquisite Hollywood actors that they always set conditions when accepting a role.
However, there are times that they end up participating in a film for the strangest and most unimaginable reasons. Below we present some of them.
1. Brad Pitt demanded ‘a coffee’ in ‘Deadpool 2’ and they almost bought him a Starbucks location
Brad Pitt agreed to appear for a millisecond in the movie ‘Deadpool 2’, and as a condition he only said: “a coffee.”
At first the production thought that Brad was demanding a Starbucks branch in his name, but then they discovered that he was referring to a single cup of coffee, served by Ryan Reynolds.
It was his way of saying he did it for free.
2. Richard Harris agreed to appear in ‘Harry Potter’, because his granddaughters threatened to stop talking to him
The production hired him several times, to offer him the role of Dumbledore.
Every time they offered him, but he was not interested in making a saga.
“One day my granddaughter called me and said, ‘Hi dad, we heard you’re turning down an appearance in the Harry Potter movie.
I want you to know that if you don’t play Dumbledore, I won’t talk to you again.’
Obviously I ended up accepting the role. ‘”
3. Dave Chapelle agreed to appear in ‘A Star is Born’, so that Bradley Cooper would stop bothering him
Bradley Cooper sent him the script for the film, but Chapelle was not interested. He didn’t even read the script.

4. Gary Oldman agreed to appear in ‘Harry Potter’, to look great in front of his children

It was not a walking mat, but rather a work of art.”
6. Liam Neeson agreed to appear in ‘Taken 3’, only if no one was kidnapped
After the success of ‘Taken 2’, Liam Neeson said that he would not play the sequel again, if his idea for the third was to kidnap someone again.
