In the new continuation of the John Wick film series, the actor Keanu Reeves spoke only 380 words and earned $15 million for them.
As the Wall Street Journal writes", his longest "speech" in the film is: "My friend, you and I left the good life behind us a long time ago." For this sentence alone, Reeves earned $552.622. An impressive amount.
"Keanu Reeves only spoke 380 words in 'John Wick: Chapter 4' and reportedly made $15 million. His salary is reported to be $39.473 per word,” Morning Brew tweeted.

Although the emphasis in this post is on the word "allegedly", this amount is not something that is unexpected considering that Keanu Reeves plays the title role in the film series.
The director of the film Chad Stahelski stated that this was an independent decision by the actor, who decided to delete about half of the dialogue written for his character in the original script.
