CHRIS TUCKER LEFT MOST OF HOLLYWOOD BEHIND FOR JESUS

CHRIS TUCKER LEFT MOST OF ENTERTAINMENT TO FOLLOW JESUS

While Chris Tucker never officially disappeared, he decided to start working every once in blue moon despite being on a hot streak in the mid-to late ’90s. The only work he would do for a good decade was the Rush Hour franchise, I know you remember that, in 2006 Tucker had reportedly negotiated a base salary of $25 million for Rush Hour 3 and it later went on to make $258 million, though he did take a role in the Academy Award-nominated film Silver Linings Playbook in 2012. Despite being the most-loved sidekick to Ice Cube’s Craig in the Friday franchise, Tucker wouldn’t sign on for the sequels to play Smokey because he had become a born-again Christian after doing the film Money Talks and no longer approved of the character.
