Jonah Hill admits he took massive pay cut for 'Wolf of Wall Street' role

Movie stars earn millions, right? Typically, yes, but in the case of "Wolf of Wall Street" star Jonah Hill, not quite.

The recently-nominated Oscar hopeful revealed that he earned just $60,000 (the Screen Actors' Guild minimum) for the role so that he could work with the film's director Martin Scorsese. That's a giant leap from his typical seven-figure-per-film salary.

Check out all of the details from the Howard Stern interview on Jan. 21 (above). Note: The interview may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Hill isn't the only star to forgo a million-dollar payday for the sake of art. His "Wolf" co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, made a similar decision when working on the 2011 Christopher Nolan film, "Inception," according to Variety. DiCaprio reportedly made up for his losses by agreeing to a deal that earned him money from ticket sales for the blockbuster, totaling $50 million.
