      They signed him a blank cheque. I bet he was doing everything he could to get stung.

      Dude should have asked for at least 10k/sting could have walked out with a cool $270,000 instead

          True.

          I will say it’s not worse than a tattoo and I’ve paid money to sit there for 6 hours being tattoo’d.

          Not saying I’m tough, as I’m pretty soft, more that often it’s the thought that is worse than the thing.

      The words of either someone immensely privileged or deathly allergic to bees.

          Yeah, if 27k won’t significantly change your situation you are privileged.

            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.

        I’m neither of those things, but I think I’m partially allergic to them. Last time I got stung by a bee in my foot, it swelled up so bad I couldn’t get a shoe on, and it was intensely painful. I have a high pain threshold, and it fucking hurt, bad. What’s weird is that I don’t have the same reaction to yellow jacket stings. Possibly because they inject less venom, but idk.
