Two-time Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou has refuted the popular myth of high salaries in Hollywood. According to the movie star, the recognition did not bring him financial stability.

The actor claims that many of his colleagues are underpaid, Deadline writes. Because of this, even at 60, he has to work hard to ensure a decent life.

Despite receiving critical acclaim and awards for his successful films, Hounsou is unable to save and save.

"I've been in this business for more than two decades, I've been nominated for an Oscar twice, I've been in many blockbusters, but I still have financial difficulties. I'm definitely underpaid," the actor was indignant.

He assured that no awards and participation in successful projects in the past can protect a star from underestimating his abilities. Hounsou said that he feels cheated because he works a lot at studios and cannot live on the high life even after very successful roles.

The star's filmography consists of such famous films as "A Quiet Place," "Gran Turismo," "Captain Marvel," "Fast and Furious," "Aquaman," "In America," "The Island," "Gladiator," and many others.

Honsu was nominated for an Oscar in 2004 and 2007. Twice he could have received a statuette for Best Supporting Actor: in the films Blood Diamond and In America. He was also recognized by US film critics and nominated for a Golden Globe.
