Djimon Hounsou is "struggling to make a living" despite his Hollywood success. The 60-year-old actor started his career more than 30 years ago and received Academy Award nominations for his roles in In America and Blood Diamond but has now claimed that he is "definitely underpaid" to this day.

When asked how he felt about that previous comment in a later cover story, Hounsou expressed that nothing had changed for him since he shared his thoughts. "I've been able to sustain a career, and I think that's something to highlight and acknowledge," he explained. "Even with whatever I feel is lacking."
