1. I swear all I ever hear about Leguizamo is him complaining about something. I was a fan of his in the mid-90s, but over the decades, every story I hear about him is him complaining about something.

2. Uhhh yeah no shit? You’re a character actor and they’re Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

3. The stars of the movie got offered more money to play the title roles? You dont say John? Its probably cuz youre Latino 🙄

4. That was lead pay He is a ding a ling.

5. Atleast he doesn’t beat his Scientologist wife

6. Does he think that movie would have made the same profit with him in the lead as it did with Brad Pitt?

   Is he high?

7. Has he complained about being in Chef yet? I know I’ve read him complain about every other film he’s done. Lol

8. They were not only the stars of the movie but also 2 of the most recognizable faces in the world in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Of course they would get paid much more than anyone else.

9. he faked being puerto rican to pander from the large population in NY, now he don’t need them ricans so he came out as Colombian

10. The article says he was offered the part to play the character that Vince Vaughn played but I couldn’t find how much they paid him. Paid in scale means being paid as low as their union allows, idk how much that is.

    Anyways, I didn’t find him obnoxious in this article as Oop and others are saying. He is just saying that he has learned from his mistakes, that’s just maturing, he wasn’t complaining.
