Djimon Hounsou: “I have yet to meet the film that paid me fairly…I feel cheated”
- Thread starter Edmond Dantès
- Start date
- Entertainment
He's Black and not American, double whammy on pay discrimination. His performance in Blood Diamond was incredibly powerful.
Because he took citizenship in 2007
He moved to America at 26 and didn't speak English, that's not what studios (or hell most of the country) would consider American
I've mentioned this before but I've always wanted to see an African writer's run of Black Panther, last I checked there hadn't been one
"I can't mount a film of this budget and say my lead actor is "Muhammed so and so from such and such"
Folks definitely have a warped perception of how much money actors make based on the ~20 or so super bankable folks of any given period. Someone like Hounsou (established supporting actor you can rely on, but not a name that will secure more money if you sign him to a project) is probably making mid to high five figures (hopefully cracked six for Shazam 2).
Y'all know Eric Roberts? He will do your project for 3k a day.

I think he probably needs to change his agent. Hollywood imo is driven by the agents - he's certainly not the one asking for money.
The fact that so many years in, he feels this way wherelse Don Cheadle made bank as war machine and Anthony Mackie is the new Captain America. I read some article a bit back about how wealthy Don Cheadle (40 million USD) is now from his reoccuring role in the MCU... shame that Terrence Howard walked away and had a fit. He would have been wealthy by now. Curiously Anthony Mackie is only worth 8 million USD?
That said, I literally watched him act like a goofy wizard in shazaam2. But that's that movie being a wacky kids superhero movie. But its a very indistinct role and a side character.
I did some googling and his net worth is 12 million USD. More than Anthony Mackie. But I'm guessing Anthony is going to get a massive paybump now that he's Captain America and set to appear in multiple MCU movies.
googling networth sure is interesting:
Don Cheadle 40 Million
Daniel Kaluuya 15 million USD
Djimon Hounsou 12 million USD
Anthony Mackie 8 Million USD
Terrence Howard 5 million USD
Jonathon Majors 2 million USD ?!? (also set to take a massive pay bump, I think MCU + Creed3 overperforming)

FWIW, I wouldn't place much stock in those net worth estimates. They exist to attract traffic, not because there's real data behind it.
I most remember from Push alongside Chris Evans. Not a particularly memorable villain, but that accent, and that face is memorable. Also, liked him in the first Shazam.
Him and Chiwetel Ejiofor, like instant "oh shit I should probably check it out"
Man he's also disappeared after being everywhere in the early 2000s. I think the last thing I saw him in was some cop procedural.

Multi-millionnaire feels cheated while millions of people on Earth struggle to eat and pay rent.
One day he will be free of this...but not yet. Not yet.
If he's not getting a fair shake at things...I got no shot.

it's just sad reading this. 3+ decades of acting and he still gets treated poorly.
When will this end?

Was he doing anything that made a ton of money? I know he was in smaller movies and Lovecraft Country and while he was great the show is dead.
