Comedian Faizon Love said he was paid just $2,500 in 1995 for his initial starring role as Big Worm in Ice Cube’s “Friday,” and was offered just $5,000 for “Next Friday̶…
The comedian, 53, revealed that the “Check Yo Self” rapper and “Friday” creator offered a measly payout for his role as Big Worm — just $2,500.
But when the script for “Next Friday” surfaced five years later, Love suggested their offer was no longer commensurate with his experience. “They wanted to give me double-scale. The scale was $2,500, right. So that was $5,000,” he explained. Instead, he went on to make the 2000 sports comedy “The Replacements” for $100,000.
While it’s been reported that Tucker made $10,000 on the first film, just last month the “Rush Hour” actor aired out rumors over his departure from the cult classic franchise, which went on to make two sequels in 2000 and 2002. During an appearance on movie podcast “Flix Talk,” the 55-year-old comedian confessed why. “I don’t want to represent everyone smoking weed,” he said of the iconic role. “I don’t want to keep doing that character.
