It seems like Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is following in her parents' footsteps! That’s right, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter has landed her first movie role and is making a lot of dosh, according to reports. TMZ has reported that the four-year-old earns a hefty $3,000 a week! And on top of that, she gets a per diem of $60/day.Vivienne will work with her mum playing her on-screen daughter in the upcoming movie, ‘Maleficent’. The budding youngster will take on the role of a young Princess Aurora in a new version of the classic fairytale ‘Sleeping Beauty’.A source told The Sun, "Ange thought it would be a fun experience for her and Viv to share, and Viv is a natural.''The other kids are now nagging Ange and Brad to land them roles.''Although child actor rates can vary from hundreds to thousands, it seems like you have to be from a A-list family to get massive amounts of cash.The hefty pay cheque might come as a shock to other child stars as 20-month-old Toby Papworth, who played baby Harry Potter in the ‘Deathly Hallows - Part 2’, was given a small £40 for his role. His mother, Ashley told The Sun, “I couldn't believe my eyes when I got the cheque."I was told he would get a standard extra's fee for the day, but they promised to try to get more if he appeared in the film." "Then I started seeing the trailers on TV and I realised his little face was being seen all over the world.”
Adding, “I phoned Toby's agency when the cheque came and they told me that was all he was getting - just £40”.'Super 8' actress, Elle Fanning, will play the grown version of Aurora, taking on the majority of the role, according to sources, who add that Jolie-Pitt's part is very minor.Meanwhile, another little actress, India Eisley, has scored the role of young Maleficent - Angelina's character in the film.Viv is not the first Jolie-Pitt to be starring alongside their parents, as Shiloh played Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's daughter in the ‘Curious Case of Benjamin Button’.Wonder which kid will follow suit next?
