One of the benefits of being a big Hollywood actor are those sweet, sweet paychecks. So you might be surprised to learn how many major movie stars have taken serious pay cuts for various reasons. Matthew McConaughey went from doing romantic comedies to winning Academy Awards and all it cost him was a few million bucks! Chris Evans was named a great value actor for his work as Captain America, and Gal Gadon only took home a six figure pay check for taking on the role of Wonder Woman. Jonah Hill was so eager to take part in The Wolf of Wall Street that he accepted very little income, and unfortunately the project ended up costing him a lot. When Kristen Stewart was making that Twilight money, she signed onto a way smaller budget and chose not to walk away when the budget was cut. It turns out Harrison Ford made way more money reprising his role of Han Solo than he did in A New Hope, and Jennifer Aniston sacrificed her bank account balance out of solidarity with her fellow sitcom stars.
