20 times actors took roles just for the paycheck (And admitted it)

7) ⁠Ben Affleck - 'Paycheck'

Trending

In an act of irony almost fitting the movie's title, Ben Affleck opted to be part of Paycheck, the sci-fi thriller directed by John Woo, which received mixed reviews and did not make much of a significant mark on society. Affleck confessed later on that he had accepted the role primarily for the money, understanding then that the film was lacking in depth or quality of the better projects. The experience became a lesson to Affleck, who shifted focus to something more meaningful for his later years, such as Argo and Gone Girl.
