Jon Hamm reportedly accepted a Top Gun: Maverick role before hearing the salary, then told his agents they were fired if they lost it.
The repost jokes that the story looks like a case of incentive misalignment. The quoted interview says Hamm was so excited to join the sequel that he said yes immediately and left the money discussion for later.
