We're not talking about 27k for one day of work. We're talking about an acting gig with months of training, rehearsals, costume fittings, make-up, traveling, shooting, reshoots. It's a full-time job.

I already have a job. I'd prefer to keep doing what I'm doing rather than that gig.

The 27k this article references is for the bee stings the actor endured. Which more than likely happened over a few takes spread over a day. At an 8 hour work day, he made $3375 an hour that day.

Bro you wouldn’t have to act in Hollywood, you would simply need to get stung by a bee or multiple bees until the total number of stings is 27. Pretty easy money unless you’re allergic.

I’d do this for 10% of that price without hesitation. I’ve been stung my many bees in my life and never got paid for any.

In your mouth though?

That’s a good point. I suppose that depends how many in the mouse and how many on the face.
