American Marconi Wireless News - Actor Tom Hollander got Tom Holland's 'Avengers' bonus

Hollander, who also had turns in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Pride and Prejudice," at one time shared an agent with the younger Marvel star.

This week, the 56-year-old told late night host Seth Meyers that his agency had once sent him an email containing a pay slip with an "astonishing" sum and labelled as the first tranche of a box office bonus for "The Avengers."

"I don't think I'm in 'The Avengers,'" the actor thought to himself as he opened the missive, he told Meyers.

"It was an astonishing amount of money," he said.

"It was not his salary. It was his first box office bonus. Not the whole box office bonus, the first one.

"And it was more money than I'd ever (seen)," he said. "It was a seven-figure sum."

Hollander was on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" to promote his forthcoming series "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," in which he plays American writer Truman Capote.
