Did Marisa Tomei get paid for king of Staten Island?
Marisa Tomei says she has yet to receive payment for her role in The King of Staten Island, the 2020 comedy-drama directed by Judd Apatow and starring Pete Davidson.
The Oscar-winning actress claimed in an extensive interview with Rolling Stone, indicating she recently discussed the matter with the Saturday Night Live comedian.
“I actually just was talking to Pete today, because I was like, ‘I never got paid for that. Did you? In this age of transparency, can we talk?’” she said. “But despite that, I had a rollicking good time. Judd’s approach to improv — which is extensive — I was intimidated. I’m with all these stand-ups. It was so freeing. Really changed how I approach each character going forward.”
Following the publication of the interview, a source close to Davidson denied Tomei’s claim, insisting the actress was paid seven figures for her work. “Marisa Tomei was 100 percent paid for the movie. In fact, she was paid upfront, over a million dollars,” the source told Page Six. “She’s clearly confused.”
Did Marisa Tomei deserve her Oscar?
It will be recalled that back in 1993 rumors circulated that after Marisa Tomei won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film “My Cousin Vinny” that actor Jack Palance had read the wrong name off the secret envelope because he couldn’t see the correct one.
This rumor turned out to be false, as Tomei won her Oscar fair and square, but to this day, many believe that the award should have gone to either Judy Davis or Vanessa Redgrave that year.
