      There’s a movie here somewhere. Something where they both repeatedly die through more and more ridiculous means. Just lean into the fan service, we’ll come…

            Haha, yeah I guess it sounds like it. A lot of people liked Edge of Tomorrow because of the amount of times Tom Cruise got killed.

      He actually won’t take roles where he dies anymore. I don’t think he’s a fan of the meme.

        Actually I watched about three episodes and that was enough for me. I forgot to mention that I don’t really like most movies. They just don’t grab my attention.

      He’s generally not the lead so he can be easy to miss or forget seeing. The only films that come to mind where he was lead are Machete and Machete Kills Again. Loosely based on his character from the Spy Kids movies.

      He has it in his contract that if he plays a bad guy, they must be killed or I think go to prison, which is likely what this article is going to mention why his on-screen deaths are so high.

        Loosely based on his character from the Spy Kids movies.

        Or more directly based on the fake movie trailer that’s part of Grindhouse (2007).

      He wasn’t a bad guy in that. He didn’t die in Bad Ass either.

      I really like him as an actor. And I really like that he always makes sure in his movies that it portrays being a bad guy never paying off.

    Especially impressive considering that his acting career is shorter than Sean Bean’s.

    Apparently Christopher Lee blows him out of the water. Unless they are counting “living” actors. Even then Lee beat him with 71.

          This guy from the 2018 movie “The Endless”. Someone in the comments said he probably died 600 million times, since he’s been stuck in this loop since the early 1900’s and dying every 5 seconds.

          Also what an absolute nightmare to also be aware of it.

    I read that it’s in his contracts that if he plays a bad guy, that guy has to die, so as to not influence kids that crime pays off in any way. I’m not sure if it’s true, but I choose to believe it is.
