Jonah Hill Earned $60,000 for Oscar-Nominated Role in The Wolf of Wall Street
The Wolf of Wall Street may be all about excess, but the money made by Jonah Hill to play stockbroker Donnie Azoff in the flick is anything but excessive. (Well, at least by Hollywood standards.)
While being interviewed by Howard Stern during his radio show on Tuesday, Jan. 21, the 30-year-old actor admitted he was willing to work for the SAG minimum in order to collaborate with director Martin Scorsese.
During the broadcast, the program's official Twitter account posted the following: "Now on H100 @jonahhill tells @howardstern that he did the 7 month 'Wolf of Wall Street' shoot for $60,000 because he wanted the role so bad."
What's more, Hill told Stern he couldn't sign his contract fast enough because he was so afraid they would change their minds and hire someone else.

The host of the show should have know he's not secure enough to take the ribbing. If I was in his shoes I wouldn't have cared and would laughed it off, but I'm not trying to be a Hollywood B lister hanging out with Hollywood A listers.
I do get offended when young attractive women act like bitches and nobody calls them out on it because they are women. I see this all the time.
