At the film fest, Clooney addressed an article published in the New York Times where a source claimed the Wolfs actor duo were paid, “more than $35 million each" for their new film.

He continued, “And I am only saying that because I think it’s bad for our industry if that’s what people think is the standard bearer for salaries. I think that’s terrible, it’ll make it impossible to make films,"b alongside Pitt ahead of their movie’s premiere.
