There are actors in the Hollywood industry, who are remembered for their roles and scenes in their films, and then there are legendary stars of the industry, who become the reasons why films are remembered by the audience. Keanu Reeves is one of these latter rare talents that just accentuates any project that he’s a part of, no matter how small a part he’s playing.
From every movement of his body to the dialogue he executes in front of the camera, people know that they would receive nothing but a visual feast when he’s involved in the project. And continuing that trend, people witnessed the star in the recently releasedJohn Wick 4, where despite being a man of few words, he made every single one worth speaking.
Keanu Reeves Received $40,000 For Every Word He Spoke!
Known for the cult-classic turn-of-the-century sci-fi wonderThe Matrix Trilogy,Keanu Reevesis no stranger to bringing something unique and different to the table, which also translates to the critical and commercial success that follows his films. As a result, the star is compensated accordingly, which is oftentimes, a hefty paycheck. And this trend continued in the recently releasedJohn Wick 4, where his words were weighed in gold.
After making his run as the most dangerous and lethal assassin in the world, Reeves made his final showdown against The High Table and emerged victorious. And as most of the audience might’ve noticed his dialogues, or the lack thereof. During the entire runtime of the film, Wick only spoke 380 words in total. And for his performance as the Baba Yaga, he received a massive $15 Million paycheck.
When some math is done on these numbers, the words-to-payment ratio comes out to be an average of $40,000 per word spoken. This is something that not many people can boast about, especially when almost a third of his dialogue consists of the iconic word ‘Yeah’ and nothing else.
What Makes TheJohn WickFranchise A Masterpiece?
While many cinematic offerings may provide complex character development and design or extraordinary visuals and story, or a perfect blend of all of them, theJohn Wickfranchise is dead set on providing the ultimate pulse-pounding and adrenaline-pumping action spectacle known to mankind. While the character designs and development may be commendable aspects of the films as well, the franchise manages to stick to its lethal action roots till the very end.
