Hugh Jackman got $10,000 just for appearing 15 seconds in this movie ?

I would've thought a lot more, to be honest.

I don't think you can get the services of a guy with his level of fame/popularity for a day (and it probably took at least that, with transport, make-up etc.) for less than 10 000 dollar for anything at all, unless it's a charity.

Add to that (more importantly actually) they're paying for his name and face for marketing purposes, which in promotion value and then ticket sales is clearly worth a lot more than 10 000 dollars.


IMDb-boards would be less confusing if people would mark their signatures clearly.

Not everyone is driven by money. Lots of actors take big roles so that they can "afford" to take smaller, artistic roles.

Not that this movie is "artistic", but he's had a great deal of fun playing Logan.

And, who is to say he wasn't in the same area shooting a movie? 

That's a bargain, considering how much Marlon Brando demanded for his minor role in Superman. Though he was a greedy git...
