Brad Pitt's body double just earned 4.44 pounds per hour for his part in Zombie thriller 'World War Z' while his Hollywood counterpart was paid 9 million pounds for his stint in the movie.
The 49-year-old Hollywood heartthrob stayed in a five-star private estate and was flown to worldwide premieres by private jet.
However, David Paterson, for his debut movie, got holed up in a small house in Glasgow, and wasn't even invited to any glitzy premieres.
Paterson's 18-hour stint got him 80 pounds, which works out to over 4-pounds-an-hour, the Mirror reported.
He started filming at 6 am and was told to not speak with Pitt.
