5. Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis has turned down some seriously big paychecks, simply because the roles didn’t click with him; or the money wasn’t quite right. He passed on Ghost because he didn’t get the script, a decision that helped launch Patrick Swayze into stardom. And when he asked for $4 million instead of $3 million for The Expendables 3, the studio walked; showing that even action heroes can price themselves out of the spotlight.
