Their offer, confirmed by Clooney’s spokesperson on Thursday, would provide the union an extra $150 million over three years and could help fund improved health benefits.

Clooney also said top stars would only collect residuals once lower-paid actors received theirs.

“A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution,” Clooney told Hollywood publication Deadline, which first reported the news. “We think it’s fair for us to pay more into the union.”

A SAG-AFTRA spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Imo Clooney et al. are hoping to get all the actors back to work because strike pay isn’t cutting it. Bribing AFTRA isn’t a bad thing at this point as there’s already stories of actors loosing housing, etc.
