Don’t believe supposed salary figures for new film Wolfs, says Clooney


At at overheated Venice film festival the actor denies that he and Brad Pitt have been paid $35m each

As the festival sweltered under a prolonged heatwave, the temperature was raised still further when George Clooney and Brad Pitt arrived on the Lido. The actors and longstanding friends, who have not appeared at the festival together since 2008, have accumulated such a powerful status in Hollywood that many believed reports that they had been paid $35m (£26.7m) each to star in their new film, Wolfs. During the press conference, Clooney was also asked about his New York Times article calling on Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic presidential candidate.
