Matt Damon made bank with his role as Jason Bourne!

Matt Damon is one of Hollywood's biggest superstars. After all, who doesn't love a bit of a baby-faced, no-nonsense hunk actor in their lives? But for fans of the Bourne series, a little Matt Damon is exactly what they got in the 2016 movie, Jason Bourne, where he played Jason Bourne.

While Damon, as he generally is, was the protagonist, main star and producer of the film, he had a total of 25 lines of dialogue throughout its 123-minute runtime. For his paltry troubles, he was paid a whopping $25 million, which effectively means he got a cool $1 million, for every line that came out of his mouth in Jason Bourne.
