Tucker Becomes Highest-Paid Actor, Says Report
New Line has agreed to pay Chris Tucker $25 million to appear in Rush Hour
3, making him the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, according to
FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman. Friedman commented that the figure is all the
more remarkable considering the fact that Tucker has starred in only two other
films -- both of them the Rush Hour movies. Friedman observed that
Rush Hour 2 holds the record for the highest gross of any comedy and
that the total worldwide take for the first two films is about $600 million.
