It’s reported that New Line has agreed to pay Chris Tucker $25 million to appear in Rush Hour 3, making him the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.
What’s surprising about the payout is that Tucker has starred in only two other films, both of them the Rush Hour movies.
Rush Hour 2 holds the record for the highest gross of any comedy and the total worldwide take for the first two films is about $600 million.
Both the previous Rush Hour also star Jackie Chan alongside Tucker.
