Eva Longoria, best known as an actress and producer, quietly invested $6 million of her own money to help fund the first John Wick movie, which went on to become a massive box office success and a pop culture phenomenon. What’s fascinating is that the directors, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, were unaware of her financial involvement at the time. Longoria believed in the project, stepping in as an early investor when the movie faced challenges with financing. Her crucial contribution helped the film get off the ground, and John Wick eventually launched a multi-million-dollar franchise.
This story also highlights Longoria’s business savvy and willingness to support projects she believes in, even outside of her usual roles in acting or directing.
