Original Title: TIL nobody wanted to cast Arnold Schwarzenegger in a comedy. So he, along with Danny Devito & director Ivan Reitman, worked out a deal for Twins (1988) where they took no money upfront & got 40% of the backend collectively instead. He ended up earning over $40m, the most he ever made from a movie.
