George Clooney has denied a report about how much he and Brad Pitt were paid for their new film.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the former Ocean’s Eleven Co-stars have teamed up for a brand new action comedy called Wolvesin which they play two professional lone fighters who must work together to cover up a high-profile crime.

The upcoming film was shown for the first time at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, and during a press conference ahead of the world premiere, George commented on a recent report about how much he and Brad were paid for their work.

For context: The New York Times published a story on August 25 claiming that Brad and George earned “more than $35 million each” for Wolveswhile the film’s director, Jon Watts, received “more than $15 million.”

The reports about Brad and George’s alleged salaries sparked heated debate online, with fans wondering whether this level of pay was sustainable for the film industry – especially given the film’s limited theatrical release.

But now George claimed that the numbers in the “interesting” New York Times article were inaccurate. Instead, he said that he and Brad actually received “millions and millions of dollars less than reported.”

Elsewhere in the press conference, George also expressed his disappointment that Wolves will not be released in theaters and called Apple’s revised strategy “shit.”
