Few Hollywood actors can boast such a diverse and interesting track record as George Clooney<\/strong>. But if we are talking about success in the movies, another name we cannot miss is Arnold Schwarzenegger.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Both actors are old acquaintances of each other. In fact, you probably remember the infamous ‘Batman & Robin’ movie they both starred in back in 1997. Now we have discovered in a recent interview with Clooney that, despite having played Batman himself, Arnold was paid much more than him during the filming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the actor, former bodybuilder and politician is once again living a golden age thanks to the release of his documentary ‘Arnold’ and the series ‘FUBAR<\/a>‘<\/strong> (both available on Netflix). And it doesn’t hurt to remember that Arnold was one of the highest paid actors of his time<\/strong>, something that was reflected in ‘Batman and Robin’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter<\/strong> podcast, Clooney opened up about the criticism received for the film and the huge pay gap between him and Arnold. In ‘Batman and Robin’, Arnold played the role of Mr. Freeze<\/strong>, one of the main villains of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ocean’s Eleven actor said, “Arnold was paid, I think, $30 million<\/strong>, like 20 times what I was paid. We didn’t even work together, we only worked together for one day. But after that, I took all the blame<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the bad experience, Clooney also acknowledged that he learned a lot from the film’s failure: “I played Batman and I didn’t do well, it wasn’t a good movie. What I learned from that failure is that I had to rethink how I was working. At that point, I wasn’t just an actor with a role: I was also made responsible for the whole movie itself.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that he is not wrong. Batman and Robin is considered one of the worst Bat movies (or the worst) ever made. Not even its star-studded cast (Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone, Elle MacPherson, etc.<\/strong>) managed to overcome its critical and box office failure.<\/p>\n\n\n
