Do Actors Have To Pay For Their Hollywood Walk Of Fame? Know The Rules As Deepika Padukone Receives This Honour
Deepika Padukone has achieved another big milestone in her career by becoming the first Indian actor to get Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Before Deepika, many Hollywood stars have received this honour including Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Hugh Jackman and many more. But there are some rules that these celebrities have to follow to get Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
According to People, 250 USD is required to submit an application for Hollywood Walk Of Fame and the sponsorship fee of 75000 USD is also needed. The fee pays for making, installing and maintaining the star.
Anyone can nominate a celebrity to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but there are many rules they need to follow. The nominee must have longevity in the field of entertainment, which means they are required to have five or more years of experience in the industry and should have won awards or nominations.
The celebrity should also give their consent to receive this honour. They should have done philanthropic work as well.
Meanwhile, in the case of nominating stars posthumously, the person has to wait for two years after a celebrity’s death to nominate them for a star.
A celebrity also cannot choose where the star will be located. But they do get to choose who will speak on their behalf at the ceremony. Even though it is very rare, a celebrity can get more than one star.
