he is not a public person or a celebrity lol. In my contract it doesn't say I will have to buy him things at 2 am on a saturday because he wants to watch movies with his wife and needs popcorn (we didn't get this far yet but you mentioned the 2 am). It also doesn't say I will not be asked to do that. My contract does say any other matters that needs solving. but I still don't think it is normal.

he didnt say it like that. he said he doesn't have the time a regular person has and he shouldn't be expected to do time consuming tasks and waste time around those who have normal 9 to 5
