George Clooney Says Reports of his Wolfs Salary Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

As a fan who’s grown up watching George Clooney‘s charm and talent unfold on the silver screen, it’s always a delight to see his humility and honesty shine as brightly as his star power. Despite being one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, he never fails to remind us that money isn’t everything in this industry. His recent statement about the alleged $35 million salary for “Wolfs” is yet another testament to his down-to-earth nature and commitment to the craft.


George Clooney’s earnings have become the stuff of legends. For instance, his paycheck from Gravity and the distribution of $1 million to 14 friends in suitcases. The lucrative Nespresso ads that funded a spy satellite in Sudan. Rumors suggest he earned a staggering $35 million for Wolfs on Apple TV+, as reported by the New York Times. However, Clooney has refuted this claim, stating at a Venice press conference that he and Brad Pitt received less than $35 million each for the film. In fact, they even returned some of their earnings in an attempt to secure a broader release for the movie. “By the way,” Clooney said, “there’s a great reporter named Nicole Sperling from the New York Times who wrote an interesting article about it. And whatever her source was for our salary, it is significantly less than what has been reported. I’m only mentioning this because I think it’s detrimental to our industry if people believe that such salaries are the norm.”

George Clooney expressed disappointment that Wolfs wasn’t receiving a broader distribution, stating, “We’re still figuring things out in this industry, post-COVID and all. There will be some bumps along the way, but we’re making progress.” He continued by acknowledging the disappointment, yet emphasizing the positives: “Of course it’s disappointing, but on the bright side, many people will get to see the film, as it’s being released in several hundred theaters. So, while it might not be ideal, we’re still moving forward.” Indeed, George Clooney maintains an optimistic outlook.
