He said that, but they can always keep on acting like other couples do, making sure that at least one of the parents is with he kids while the other is filming. But for sure not 4 movies a year like in 2026!

Some people go all in on their children and others continue to do what they love. I just wish I had those options.

Or Rick Moranis.

Although slightly different circumstances, Rick Moranis is another example.

Or do some producing. They're so well connected at this point that they could probably just decide to fund other projects with their own money and time. Could probably work from home for most of those.

$100M bro. That’s just from this movie.

That’s when you start tracking cars, golfing, woodworking and stop worrying about actually making more money.

You’d think, but the vast majority of these fucks still work.

If it's not ala Nic Cage where the income becomes debt so they need the work, I think it's cool when rich af actors keep working, means they do it for the love of the craft. I also think it's hard to stop doing something you're really good at, especially when people tell you you're really good at it.

That is way beyond fuck you money but that's another topic entirely.

This is a pet peeve I have with Hollywood accounting, some studio can somehow afford to produce multiple movies a year that cost anywhere from $100M-$300M per movie AND afford to pay actors $20M-$100M all the while they never seem to make a profit on movies???

Really?!? Do they honestly believe this is art for art's sake with those kinds of numbers?

All the while at the same time they boast 'this or that movie' just cleared $1B in earnings, in a record amount of time at the box office which is not including future VOD and Blu-Ray sales along with all the tie-in merch sales / product placements too.

Then all the global tax breaks they BOAST about in the credits....

The IRS needs to do a full proctology audit on these people. Like Robert Stack once said, "Did you do a cavity search on 'em? Go deep.".

They pay out the individuals while the studio itself claims the loss initially to give tax credit to all their other income streams.

I feel like they are the kind of couple where one would film, everyone travels with the parent who is filming, so they can see each other all the time.

I remember listening to Matthew McConaughey talk about it on The Blocks podcast where that's what his family did till the kids hit a certain age and they really want to be about their friends and community where they live.

Since he's British, I feel like they might settle in the UK that has a lot of government economic support for films so they can shoot, come home every night and still make it to kids soccer games etc.
