9 Most Bizarre Contract Demands From Favorite Stars

Many performers are well-known not just for their acting abilities but also for their diva-like demands. It wouldn't be Gary Busey if he'd never asked for the mirrors on the set to be taken down so it would appear "more like heaven." However, famous people often use their status to negotiate outrageous contracts and pay packages. For instance, you might not be aware that you have the option of having an entire apartment building constructed specifically for you on set. However, if you're a famous person, you can.
That's one example of the many outrageous clauses in actors' contracts. If they want, celebrities can even demand extra work-related perks, such as extensive creative veto power. Let's be honest, though; most of the time, they only care about having a million-dollar dressing room.
To believe them, you must see the outrageous demands made in actor contracts. If, for whatever reason, you've ever been curious about the fine print of an actor's bizarre contract demands, then feel free to scroll through the following quirks. Both your funny bone and your sense of shock will be tickled.
