Eva Longoria Saved The ‘John Wick’ Franchise With A $6 Million Investment

Buy Me A Coffee

We need to talk about Eva Longoria—Hollywood’s very own superhero, and no, she doesn’t wear a cape (unless it’s designer). The 49-year-old goddess of glam may not be gracing the silver screen in the John Wick franchise alongside our beloved Keanu Reeves, but guess what? She’s the reason it exists! Cue the dramatic music.

You see, back in 2014, when the first John Wick movie was preparing to unleash a whirlwind of stylish chaos upon the world, things were looking bleak—like “forget the popcorn, we’re shutting this thing down” bleak. Directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch found themselves in quite the pickle. Less than a week before production, a whopping $6 million gap in financing popped up like an unwelcome fruitcake at a holiday party.

Chad spilled the tea to Business Insider, saying, “We were less than a week out, and poof! There goes almost $6 million!” Apparently, one of their investors decided to pull a Houdini and couldn’t rustle up the cash in time. So what did our fearless Eva do? She swooped in like a financial fairy godmother!

“She came to the rescue, and she provided the gap financing, literally less than 24 hours before we had to lock the doors on the movie and walk away,” Chad explained. Talk about a plot twist!

The best part? Chad and David didn’t even realize Eva was the one who saved their cinematic bacon until after the movie was out in the wild, crushing box office records like it was a piñata. After their revelation, they took Eva out for lunch—because nothing says “thank you for saving our movie” like free food!

David reminisced, “She was like, ‘Wow, that was the best money I’ve ever spent.’ It paid back significantly for her.” Who knew being a financial superhero could be so profitable? So next time you’re enjoying a high-octane showdown with Keanu, just remember: behind every badass action hero is an even more badass actress who just happens to be a financial wizard. Hats off to you, Eva! 🦸‍♀️💰
