Actors (and actresses) have pretty high demands on sets and are most of the times finding something wrong with their scripts or characters and have zillion demands in order to change it as per their likings.
Now that is a pretty annoying thing from a writer, producer and director’s perspective but they do give up in certain cases and end up fulfilling the demands.

Here are some incidents where the scripts were changes to please the actors.

1. Robert Downey Junior in The Avengers

According to the original ending, Iron Man wakes up after the crash on the ground and asks “What’s next?”  This didn’t impress RDJ and he demanded something “snappier” which gave us the Shawarma line and post credit scene. (We are thankful for this one)

2. Shakira In Zootopia

When the singer first saw Gazelle, she thought the character was too skinny and asked the creators to “give her some meat”. They agreed and we ended up with a curvier Gazelle.

Ben Affleck was supposed to wear a baseball cap in an airport to avoid attention and there was a spat between the actor and director over which team’s hat it should be. This ended up halting the production for four days. Fincher wanted a Yankees Cap but Affleck hailing from Boston refused, eventually compromising on Mets hat.

4. Michelle Rodriguez in The Fast And The Furious
