Jon Hamm has admitted that he donated sixty percent of his pay to Confess, Fletch’s budget. The Emmy-winning actor, whose estimated net worth exceeds $40 million, reportedly made the decision when financiers declined to pay for three additional days of filming for the independent project.
The original funding for the film could only support 27 days of filming, as opposed to the required 30. When money for the last three days could not be secured, Jon Hamm and director Greg Mottola agreed to give up a part of their income to make up for the financial imbalance.
Thursday, September 22nd, Greg Mottola discussed the pay cut in an interview with Uproxx (via IndieWire).
He stated:
“In essence, Jon contributed sixty percent of his income to the budget. I returned a portion of my funds, but not as much as Jon because he is wealthy and I have three children. We also purchased three additional shooting days. We ultimately spent thirty days in Boston and one in Rome.”
The film Confess, Fletch is based on Gregory Mcdonald’s novel of the same name. It was released for a short theatrical run on September 16, 2022, and is currently accessible to stream on demand.
The film will also premiere on Showtime on October 28, 2022. The film also features Marcia Gay Harden, Kyle MacLachlan, Roy Wood Jr., and John Slattery, among other noteworthy actors.
