Wes Anderson Says Gene Hackman Was ‘Grumpy’ About ‘Royal Tenenbaums’ Salary


Wes Anderson shared how Gene Hackman was 'furious' about his 'Royal Tenenbaums' salary and spotlighted costars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Anjelica Huston

Hackman, who starred in Anderson’s 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums, was apparently not happy with making the same amount of money as the rest of the cast. Hackman’s casting attracted costars Anjelica Huston and Gwyneth Paltrow, who the director said had no issue with the base salary arrangement Wes Anderson’s 2001 film follows the lives of three gifted siblings — Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson) and Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) — who are reunited with their eccentric estranged father, Royal (Gene Hackman).
