Two-time Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou reveals he's 'struggling to make a living' in Hollywood
The A Quiet Place star, 60, said he is having a difficult time as a working actor even though he has been twice-nominated for an Oscar and has starred in several blockbuster hit movies.
Hounsou also said he believed he was snubbed by the Academy for his breakout role as Cinqué in Steven Spielberg's 1997 historical drama Amistad, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor said he was inspired to establish the Djimon Hounsou Foundation with the mission 'to champion a visceral connection between the countries of the African diaspora and the motherland and to heal the wounds that slavery left behind,' per the organization's official website.
