According to the publication, Hugh joked that the reason he took on the role came down to his five children. "I slightly hate [making films], but I have lots of children and need money," he said.
Man has a net worth of $150,000,000, he can afford to be picky about the movies he appears in.
He was huge for a good 10-15 years. And when you have money it is easy to make money passively. So he has had decent investments and a solid A list career with backends for probably 30 years now.
Everyone hates working and wants money. He isn’t being picky he’s making a joke. A few million for a few days of work as a mostly computer generated character is an easy choice.
It the movie sucks it won’t hurt his career at all.
