$27,000 does not seem like enough money to endure 27 bee stings simultaneously.

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 3 months ago

Movie is from 1992, so it would be 60k today. Still not enough considering what famous movie actors make.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago

I'd do it every day this week

[-] rubicon@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

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

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

For $270,000 I will let 27 American honeybees sting me. No Africanized bees allowed!

Dude I’d do this for 10% of that fee. Sure stings hurt, but not that much and it passes.

[-] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

That might depend on one's pain tolerance levels, idk.

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.

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

My tattoo hurt worse than a single bee sting of course, but idk about 27. My tattoo stopped hurting the second they stopped needleing me, but stings continue to irritate. add the facts if you're not sure how many you're going to get and when exactly they will occur, And idk if they're comparable

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I think that's on top of the regular salary

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

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Has enough money to say no == immensely privileged apparently

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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.
