and didn't receive any back end percentage points either.
Now I know that $60,000 is a lot of money, but when you consider the fact that he was second to only Leonardo DiCaprio in selling the movie, the production budget was $100M, and the film has grossed $339M worldwide - that is downright ridiculous. Yea he got to work with Scorsese and DiCaprio, but you would think that it would only be fair to at least give the dude a small percentage on the back end depending on how well the movie sells. it just doesn't seem right that the studio suits get away with that type of shyt.
"with a budget they claim is around $100M — could have anted up a bit more for Oscar-nominated actor Jonah Hill. On Tuesday, Hill — the sidekick to Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf Of Wall Street – said on The Howard Stern Show he was paid only $60,000 for his role before commissions and taxes, adding that DiCaprio was paid probably around $10M (DiCaprio starred and produced).
“They gave me the lowest amount of money possible. That was their offer and I said, ‘I will sign the paper tonight. Fax ‘em the papers tonight. I want to sign them tonight before they change their mind. I wanna sign them before I go to sleep tonight so they legally can’t change their mind,” Hill said. He said he wanted to work for Scorsese. “I would sell my house and give him all my money to work for him,” added Hill. “This isn’t what you make money for. You do 22 Jump Street or you do other things, and you can pay your rent. I would’ve done anything in the world. I would do it again in a second … This sh*t isn’t about money. You should do things that you care about.” The movie, Hill, DiCaprio and Terence Winter were nominated for Oscars last week."

Jonah Hill? You mean that fat nikka from the comedies? fukk I need that clown in my movie for?". shyt if I was Scorsese that nikka would have to pay me just to have a non speaking role. Keep in mind I had no idea he would eventually kill that role.
