£40,000? I want a pay rise!

You would think that Lost stars earn a good bit of money for running around all over an island in Hawaii. Finding new hubs, killing wild boar for food, and trying to get Locke to remain slightly sane is a bit of an effort for actors Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly.

Both of them have reportedly launched negotiations with ABC Studios to increase their pay by £35,000 per episode. They already apparently get between £40,000 and £45,000 per show already. Gosh, if that isn’t a hefty pay rise I don’t know what is!

Other stars of the show have got wind of this and have now started asking for a little bit more money. Well, wouldn’t you?

It seems that it’s a hard life acting on Lost, but I’m not afraid of hard work. Give me a job?
