Chris Tucker was just 20-years-old when he landed his big break on Def Comedy Jam. His appearance on the HBO series opened doors for him in the entertainment industry, and over the course of a few years, he went from being a supporting cast member to playing the main characters in films and rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s elite. He appeared to be on his way to taking over the industry but he frequently takes long absences away from the spotlight. Here’s what happened to his career.

50 million dollars??? Who you think you kidnapped? Chelsea Clinton? Lmao my favorite line 🤣🤣🤣
12 million
Big shout to Chris, especially for giving his life to Christ. I think he won’t come back to ‘Friday’ because he’s unwilling to play “Smokey”, anymore. They stated that he cleaned up his comedy for Christ. If he did that, then I doubt that he’s willing to play “Smokey” anymore. Good stuff Chris.
😂😂😂😂😂
😆
Tucker is 100% documented and directly connected to the underage Epstein Island ! He and the female pervert Naomi Campbell are neck deep in that filthiness !
I first saw Chris Tucker on The Arsenio Hall Show. I was cracking up; he was so memorable.
y we hate our "freequent" so bad? thats our complexion...we r in deep trouble with morher nature and our ancestors...
$6999 for fucking SPEEDING!!! Wtf?!!
Whats really going on ? Life is going on.
Chris Tucker always remind Michael Jackson to never trust anyone. I really love Chris Loyalty to his friend especially to MJ he never left him together with Elizabeth Taylor
Chris Tucker was a genius at comedy, but not so smart with money/business opportunities' The rush hour movies along, could have set him up for life with proper investments. I would rather take a movie role that I didn't like ,and pay my taxes instead of being picking and owing the IRS millions in back taxes.
Can't wait to see him in another Friday or rush hour you've got to come back to your fans Chris we need more of you please come back it will bring a lot of smiling faces we love you come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else trip out when jeffery Epstein got brought up ??!!!!!!!!!
Wow I love me some Chris Tucker keep on making good movies with Ice Cube and all the other famous people that you worked with over the years. I just want to say R.I.P to Debo you will be missed dearly and your daughter know that you are watching down on her to make sure that she is on the right path and not the wrong path
Producer: We're looking for a Chris Tucker type! Chris Tucker:But, I'm Chris Tucker! Producer:No, you're a fat old guy that used to be him!
I look forward to Chris having his next leading role .
Hmmm I noticed he did go noticeably absent after that flight on Epsteins plane 🤔
So this is the Chris tucker on Epstein’s jet?
Best wishes to You Chris Tucker , this New Year 2021 , I love You much, Your comedy and impersonations are awesome , especially doing Micheal Jackson super talented .. its just money, what is taken away God Can and will Restore love ya!!!!
Love me some Chris Tucker he is so funny. Blessings giving his life to Christ. I'm surprised that he didn't get an accountant to help with the financial problems.
He has that double look/ wobble eye syndrome... what is going on with black actors? Why is there this obvious eye issue that only Forrest Whittaker has addressed? Let's be real.... his son isn't catching the eye of anyone.
Lazy eye... that's what happened
Paid a fine of $6999. Now that is an odd fine cost. When he got off that private plane, problems followed him.
I get why he turned down being in Next Friday but it still would've been cool for him to be in it.
Your honor, I was only driving 109 mph, unnecessarily endangering people’s lives because I was trying to make it to church. What a scumbag
Yo say whatever you wanna say, but I know he’s a legend worldwide. Everyone knows him. He has something no one comedian has. Just like Eddie, Steve Harvey, Jim Carey, John Ritter, Chris is special. I love him in rush hour. “ Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth” 😂😂😂😂😜😜😜😜
The Original DC YoungFly 🖤
Ice Cube you want him back , are you willing to pay him tho?
Pay your taxes man are you stupid
Why is he taking loans when he made so much money .
Russ hour was the boom
Do the fresh prince of the bel-air ending
The problem was Chris Tucker wanted to be something that he was not meant to be , he wanted to do real drama roles when he's a comedian . and in the mean time he was turning down roles and missing out on money .
You make it look Chris is broke and destitute..hell no!! The N-Word is living a normal life..not every one really want to sell their soul and live in hollywood without peace of mind..I just wonder why they keep owing in taxes
I admire his loyalty to his friend Michael, never left him in his hardest times :) a true friend!
WOW ALL THIS HAPPEND AFTER FLYING WITH CLINTON AND EPSTEIN ????
What is going with tucker is he went to Eppy island and got scared right into christianity lol. He's not selling his soul and much respect for him for that. If you don't play the game, you won't get far. ;)
Idk why these niggaz go bible thump Smfh u got to scared I fucks with u Chris but bible thumping not the answer
Now this is true stuff. Real news about stars. !
Love you chris, no matter what happens or goes wrong. You my favorite comedian actor.
RIP TO THE BIG THREE FRO FRIDAY
If he had sucked a few co**s like all the other so-called A-listers, he too would have been catapulted into superstardom... since he chose to embrace his faith and not get married to satan, he got left out of satan's kingdom. We all know what goes on in "hellywood"!
Chris and Michael jackson 🥰🤩❣️
His best roll was In dead presidents
What, he only got paid $5,000 for Friday. He made that movie
Chris tucker is one of my absolute favorite actors . His rush hour role was made for him . Rush hour is by the best comedy movie imo.
I am one that missed Chris from films. I just hope he get the role that he wants.
Disliked, the thumbnail...
So he lost everything because the government assumed that they had a higher claim over his money than he does?
We all want rush hour 4 ,,come on guys , get it done.
Chris Tucker is a funny guy
Can't handle a lot of money
Yuk the government locking up people for not paying taxes mean while look at Donald Trump
Interesting!
If no one gives you the role you want you have to produce it yourself. - if you have the money-
Great Vid!
Chris looks great he's just following his heart go Chris
Anybody catch the shade when she mentioned Epstein? 😂
''Rush Hour 4''!
black people -- get a good financial lawyer
As long as Chris is doing good and being constructive, I am happy for him. I do miss him on TV
Clinton? Spacey? Epstein???!!! well...well..well...
"Flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane"?
Chris Tucker over Kevin Hart any day
It’s scary bc in some pics Chris looks like Michael before surgery and everything. It the eyes or something.
Was going good till the Epstein thing came up.
A real Man!
If Eddie can comeback then so can Chris
Flew on Jeffrey epsteins private jet to Africa 👀🥴😳😅
please! make another Rush hour ...
Why he have to take out a loan?
Being forced to pay taxes is sanctioned, legalized slavery. They threaten to take everything and lock you up at the barrel of a government gun. Tax you to own land. Tax you to own a home. Tax you to buy a vehicle. Tax you to drive that vehicle. Tax you to (poorly) pave the roads to drive that vehicle on. Tax everything you buy. Tax you for various licenses like fishing license. Now they’re taxing people in New York who just want to park and stargaze. These political parasites are psychopaths. We need to stand TOGETHER and say NO!
Just a smart guy don’t want to be so famous
Now the late Tiny Lister too😭💙
RIP Tiny Lister
RIP Yvette Wilson
His work in the movie rush hour in this day and age made this a favorite. I like his style of comedy.
$6,000 SPEEDING FINE?
And the high-speed chase 😩
Him and Wesley Snipes HOW DO YOU FORGET TAXES???WTF🤪
He got CLONED‼️
Wait....did she say he flown on a jet to Africa with Jeffery Epstein and bill clinton???? We all gonna ignore that 😂😂😂 that scene following it is the biggest ummm 🧐 🤔 lmao. We know what he was doing...now smh 🤦🏽♂️
He made his money now he's gettin fatted up and whitted up.
He did it his way! No matter what the out come he can hold his head high knowing he chose him instead of letting the world use him. Proud of you man! 💪🏽💯
Rush Hour is a Golden Ticket, and I will definitely love to see it. Especially now, the world needs laughter.
They wanted free money. Speeding ticket requires $6000+ yea right.
I hope God bless him. Love all the roles he bless with his talent.
Omg
I SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT HAMMER. MOST OF US WILL NEVER SEE 10 MILLION DOLLARS BUT WE AS BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE MUST LEARN TO LIVE W IN OUR MEANS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO PEOPLE OF COLOR ALWAYS WE ALWAYS LIVE BEYOND OUR MEANS . BUY A 5 BDR HOUSE N WE ONLY HAVE 3 PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY OR BUY A 10 BDR HOUSE AND ONLY HAVE 5 PEOPLE LIVING W US . WHAT IS IT ABOUT BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE NEVER SETTLING FOR A SIMPLE 2 OR 3 MILLION DOLLAR HOME. OR JUST LIVE IN A CONDO WHY BLACK N BROWN PEOPLE WHY ????
I wonder how much cube got paid for Friday
Are we going to ignore the fact that he was on Epstein’s flight logs and a frequent visitor to his island and those are facts
He was fine back in the day .
Want all loose all Not saying he should settle for less, but one one coco full the basket
0:08 thought i was in imdontais stream
COME ON GUYS WE ARE WAITING FOR RUSH HOUR 4 BEFORR YOU GUYS GET TO OLD SO LETS GET IT DONE CHRIS AND JACKIE WE NEED SOME LAUGHS LETS CALL IT THE FINAL RUSH HOUR
THIS WOMAN HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT!!! TAXES???? REALLY????
he hated wat everyone loved about him
n I bet Jackie Chan talked him out of doin Next Friday
It is possible to be funny without being raunchy or offensive.
Epstein Clinton amd Chris flying to Africa ? What the Hell
Probably looking for more young women and children to traffic. Im sure they needed a black and famous face to reel them in, hence Chris Tucker.
Rush Hour 4 please. 💯💯😎
His son is a spitting image of him💞 & I'm glad he's being choosy. It keeps your mind, body & soul in tact. *** I wish these celebs would keep up with their taxes tho. So many have fallen under because of it.
Just like what happened to Martin and Eddie and Dave Chappelle they was not trying tk sell them selves for profit anymore the industry had changed, as much as you wanted to see them make more movies sometimes that's just how it works
What's wrong wit him. Nun eating good and being a legion
❤❤❤ luv Chris Tucker ❤❤❤ money talks and the fifth element where some of my favorites
