In order to work with Martin Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Jonah Hill took a pay cut by being paid the S.A.G. minimum, which was $60,000 compared to Leonardo DiCaprio who was paid $10 million.
"That was their offer and I said, 'I will sign the paper tonight. Fax them the papers tonight. I want to sign them tonight before they change their mind. I want to sign them before I go to sleep tonight so they legally can't change their mind'." "I would sell my house and give him all my money to work for him [Martin Scorsese]."
