If you grew up in the 90s, you surely remember 10 Things I Hate About You. At the time, the romantic comedy starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt filled magazine covers, was stuck on hundreds of binders, and launched the careers of many of its lead actors into fame. After all, this loose adaptation of William Shakespeare and led to a television series, becoming a cult film along the way. However, not for everyone.

10 reasons not to see a single euro

It may be that Andrew Keegan was not the main star of the movie, but he was one of the most important supporting characters: Joey, a student and model who wants to sleep with Bianca and pays Patrick to date Kat. In other words, he is the one who sets the plot of the movie in motion. Back then, he was paid, of course, but right now, 27 years after the premiere, let’s say he has admitted he hasn’t exactly struck it rich.

“It’s very funny because I receive checks for one cent from different series and movies. It costs 40 cents to send it by mail! I probably should see what the projects were. Because, of course, one cent. It’s not worth my time.” Keegan hasn’t had a dazzling career, but he has more or less been appearing in one movie a year and a few series: enough to stay afloat… but just in case, I wouldn’t throw those cents too far away.

And to the point: Is any of those checks for 10 Reasons to Hate You? Well, the truth is… “I think 10 Reasons are probably some of my biggest checks”. Also, don’t think of a pool of bills: they get between 10 and 80 dollars. The life of a celebrity!
