Actors get different days depending on different circumstances. Well-established A-listing can require a lot of zeros at their check-up and even dictate unique contract terms. So Sandra Bullock received a huge payment for "gravity" over 15% stake in profits. However, when the actors are earlier in their careers, they often agree with less money in exchange for experience, intensified summaries and the opportunity to participate in special projects. It was the case for many of the actors who applied Peter Acksecson's massive trilogy "The Lord of the Rings".

In an interview with Business Insider on the red carpet for the 2025 films in Texas in Austin, actor Frodo, Elijah Wood (At the current glory "Yellowele") has become Lotr's latest alumni that referred to rumors of his payment to the middle country. Some gossip claims that he made about $ 250,000 for the film "Ring" scholarships. Another version of "Scoutlbut" claims that the amount is for all three films, similar to John Astin's salary to play Sam Gamge. (Orlando Bloom has confirmed that he has earned 175,000 USD for all three films.)

In any case, it is not much to take into account the size of the project and the Hollywood background, and the actor told Business Insider how much. He said it was not a fantastic day, but added that it was something he could live with. Asked if the specific number of his speculated salary is correct, he said did not clarify the amount. Instead, he dropped to fast, saying, "It doesn't matter."

For reasons we will explore them for a minute, Wood has found low wages understandable. He also noted that the trilogy changes to life in other ways:

"The benefit was that we were also applying for something that would be part of our lives forever."

Surprisingly low salaries for many of the "Lord of the Rings" of the teams makes sense of many levels, according to Wood. The first thing he pointed out was a three-in-one nature of the project trilogy:

"Because we didn't make a movie and then negotiate a deal for the next one, it wasn't kind of a profitable scenario that you could rest easily for the rest of your life."

Along with the inability to negotiate contracts between films, Wood talked about the fact that Cineu Linem Cinema's commitment to the three-story was a big deal at the time. Surely, The massive success of the trilogy trilogy It is easy to point to a retrospective, but at that time, the studio did not often report massive, perennial blockbusters with irresistible IP and massive castes of the ensemble. Wood referred to this as a "real cube" and noted that avoiding mass salaries improves financial pressure because Peter Acksexon and the company have tried to get the whole thing. He even called the exchange understandable.

That comment is unlike Galadriel Actress Kate Blanchett for the words of Watch what is happening live! As early as 2024, where she said, "I basically got free sandwiches and had to keep my ears (Elf)." Woods actually referred to the cancellation of Blanchett, saying he thought he was funny and adds: "Statements as not made with any kind of intolerance."

He raised the question in bed by revising the greater influence that the "Lord of the Rings" experience had on the career and crew:

"It is an honor to be part of those films and they are some of the best experiences in my life."
