With Last Friday, the fourth and final installment of the Friday franchise, getting the green light, John Witherspoon is now speaking out and spilling the tea!
The 76-year-old veteran actor and comedian recently revealed in an interview with Vlad TV that him and the rest of the cast from the first Friday film made $5,000 each.
Yup, only $5,000!
Witherspoon said, "The movie grossed $300 million! And they’re not gonna come back and say, ‘Look, we made a lot of money [and we are]gonna give y’all a bonus.’ That’s some bullsh*t - that don’t happen in Hollywood."
