Actor GEORGE CLOONEY denies claims he and BRAD PITT were paid $35million each for their roles in Wolfs

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 - Hollywood actor, George Clooney has denied recent reports that he and Wolfs co-star Brad Pitt were paid millions of dollars for the film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday.

Last week, The New York Times claimed that the Ocean’s 11 stars each received over $35 million for their roles in Jon Watt's action comedy.

Addressing the report during a press conference at the Wolfs premiere, Clooney brought up the alleged figures.

'[It was] an interesting article, and whatever her source was for our salary, it is millions and millions and millions of dollars less than what was reported,' he began.

'And I am only saying that because I think it’s bad for our industry if that’s what people think is the standard-bearer for salaries.'

He added: 'I think that’s terrible, it’ll make it impossible to make films.'

The film marks the first time Clooney and Pitt have shared the screen since 2008’s Burn After Reading.

In this new project, the iconic duo plays fixers who are tasked with covering up crimes, but find themselves reluctantly teaming up when assigned to the same job.
