The Truth About Dan Bilzerian's First Movie Role

As Aaron Couch of Hollywood Reporter tells us, Dan Bilzerian was not a happy camper when he saw Lone Survivor. In fact, he was so unhappy about the end result that he sued the producers. 

Bilzerian's malcontent was not necessarily about the movie's quality, per se. He was more irked about Lone Survivor's Dan Bilzerian content, which was roughly one-eighth of what he said had been agreed upon. According to the poker player, the problem was that he had given the production a loan of $1 million, and in return, they promised him a a minimum of eight minutes in the movie, and 80 words' worth of dialogue. As such, he was less than delighted when the finished product gave him just one line and under a minute of screentime. 

According to Chris Ayres of GQ, however, the story has a happy ending, especially if you happen to be Dan Bilzerian. The "King of Instagram" got tons of publicity, and ended up dropping the lawsuit because he claimed that the film was so successful he'd actually earned $1.5 million from it.
