Chris Tucker Reveals He Was Paid $10K for Role as ‘Smokey’ in ‘Friday’

Chris Tucker recently stopped by Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe and recounted his experience filming the classic movie Friday.

Tucker revealed that he wasn’t provided the biggest bag for his role as Smokey. According to Chris, he was only given $10,000 for the role. “It’s one of those things—it was just a small movie,” said Tucker. “We filmed it in 20 days. I got about $10,000 for it or whatever, I didn’t care. I wanted the opportunity.”
