it's not bombing at the box office? Still I don't care if he makes more money or not. It's a retarded ass movie which makes him retarded for thinking it would be a good film. I read the reviews man, they are terrible. I'm sure some nascar people or straight morons eat that shit up though
The point is, he more than likely got paid more for doing the boxing movie...thats the point. I would suspect that more than a few actors in Hollywood couldn't care less whether they are in "good" movies or not. Its all about the payday. You're making the assumption that all actors care about being great actors in award winning films. That isn't necessarily the case.
Would you have watched Drive had Jackman been the lead as opposed to Gosling? Maybe him NOT being there is a win-win for everyone, no?
