12 Actors Who Admitted Doing A Movie Purely For The Money
11. Morgan Freeman - Lucius Fox (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
Morgan Freeman was very upfront about his reasons for signing up to the Batman movies: cold hard cash. He cited Alec Guinness as his inspiration, who made a life changing amount of money from his role in Star Wars. Freeman sought to imitate that formula so he signed up for a supporting role in a big blockbuster series; one where hed be well compensated for just a few days work every couple of years. He only spent five days on Batman Begins, where his role as Lucius Fox didnt require anything more stressful than being charming or sitting down a lot. The part continued in that vein throughout the series, with Lucius either sitting in an office or talking Bruce Wayne through a fancy gadget. While Freeman may not have had much passion for the role, he was enough of a pro to not just coast through it.
