After acting in the industry for more than 30 years, Hounsou revealed he felt slighted by the Hollywood pay and said he’s faced challenges with money.

“I’ve come up in the business with some people who are absolutely well off and have very little of my accolades. So I feel cheated, tremendously cheated, in terms of finances and in terms of the workload as well.”

“I still have to prove why I need to get paid,” he told the media outlet. “They always come at me with a complete low ball: ‘We only have this much for the role, but we love you so much and we really think you can bring so much’… Film after film, it’s a struggle. I have yet to meet the film that paid me fairly.”The 58-year-old actor expressed he felt no support from anybody for his performances.

I don't feel bad for a millionaire.

You’re a working actor in Hollywood. You’ve won the lottery.

Sorry.. they are just not into you…

Imagine if he worked for a living

Interviewed him in Edinburg, at the G8 in 2005, as he was asking for governments to relieve 3rd world debt. Not only a great actor but a great humanitarian and lovely human. He should be recognized on all three fronts!

New Kang incoming MarvelStudios

I can’t remember one good movie he was in.

First time I saw him on screen was from Blood Diamond and he's good then fast forward to tarzan 😍

Sorry bro this crying and bitching only works for actresses in Hollywood that have fallen off. Not for actors. You’re a man. Unless you go trans nobody cares.

Those Hollywood Weirdos are so racist

He was great in Blood Diamond.

Welcome to life, bud.

Who's Dijon Hounson?

Next, he’ll sue for feeling tremendously cheated! He’ll find a way
