Which Hollywood actor doesn’t ask for big paychecks despite being super famous?

Tilda Swinton

Despite being an Oscar-winning actress she is known to take roles in independent film and arthouse productions over major studio film and blockbuster movies.

She has had cameo parts in various films where an actor of her calibre and an Oscar-winner would refuse to (because perhaps of money or ego):

Vanilla Sky (2001)

Adaptation (2002)

Broken Flowers (2005)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

The Zero Theorem (2013)

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Trainwreck (2015)

Hail Caesar (2016)

War Machine (2017)

She’s also starred in a few major studio film productions albeit in supporting roles such as:

Snowpiercer (2013)

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Doctor Strange (2016)

She tends to leave her starring and major roles to independent film such as:

The Last of England (1987)

Orlando (1992)

Female Perversions (1996)

The Deep End (2001)

Teknolust (2002)

Stephanie Daley (2006)

Michael Clayton (2007)

… for this she won the Oscar as Best Supporting Actress in 2008

Julia (2008)

…my favourite for most of hers and I would have preferred her to have won the Oscar for this in the Best Actress category instead

I Am Love (2009)

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

A Bigger Splash (2015)

The Souvenir (2019)
