ED NORTON - NORTON TAKES PAY CUT FOR DOUBLE ROLE

NORTON TAKES PAY CUT FOR DOUBLE ROLE

Actor ED NORTON was so desperate to star in new movie LEAVES OF GRASS, he took a pay cut to play two roles.
The star plays twins - a university professor and a drug dealer - in the film, which is directed by his The Incredible Hulk co-star Tim Blake Nelson.
But he insists it didn't mean he gets double the salary.
Norton - who earned $8 million (£5.3 million) for his role in Silence of the Lambs sequel Red Dragon - tells the New York Daily News, "I actually got paid half what I usually make."
