Eva Longoria.James Devaney/GC Images; Chelsea Jia Feng/BIEva Longoria stepped in at the last minute with a $6 million investment that saved "John Wick."Since then, she's invested in two soccer clubs, a tequila, and a food brand, and has her own production company."I want to be making money while I'm sleeping," Longoria said of her investment philosophy.Ten years ago, Eva Longoria became the unlikely savior of "John Wick."About a week before production on the movie began, stuntmen-turned-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch ran out of money when they lost almost $6 million in gap financing.Unbeknownst to them at the time, Longoria, who was then best known for playing Gabrielle on the hit series "Desperate Housewives," stepped in with the cash to complete the movie."CAA, which was putting the financing together, they offered the opportunity to some actors who had some bankroll," Leitch told Business Insider in an interview alongside Stahelski celebrating the movie's 10th anniversary.
