Top 10 Actors Who Took Huge Pay Cuts To Land A Role!
One of the benefits of being a big Hollywood actor are those sweet, sweet paychecks. So you might be surprised to learn how many major movie stars have taken serious pay cuts for various reasons.
Matthew McConaughey went from doing romantic comedies to winning Academy Awards and all it cost him was a few million bucks! Chris Evans was named a great value actor for his work as Captain America, and Gal Gadot only took home a six figure pay check for taking on the role of Wonder Woman. Jonah Hill was so eager to take part in The Wolf of Wall Street that he accepted very little income, and unfortunately the project ended up costing him a lot.
When Kristen Stewart was making that Twilight money, she signed onto a way smaller budget and chose not to walk away when the budget was cut. It turns out Harrison Ford made way more money reprising his role of Han Solo than he did in A New Hope, and Jennifer Aniston sacrificed her bank account balance out of solidarity with her fellow sitcom stars.
What do you think about actors who took a paycut for their passion projects? Do you think they made smart decisions or should they have held out for more cold, hard, cash?
