How much did Alan Ruck get paid for Ferris Bueller?

American actor, Alan Ruck once revealed that he got his first biggest bag from starring as Cameron Frye, in Ferris Buellers. According to him, he was paid $40,000.

”I made $400,000. It was my first big part in a movie, and they’re going to find any excuse not to pay you,” he shared.

He was 26 years old when he started in the film, and was quite pressed about that.

“I was worried I’d be years out of step, and I wouldn’t know anything about what was cool, what was hip, all that junk. But when I was going to high school, I didn’t know any of that stuff then, either,” he said.

He also shared that they did not destroy a real Ferrari in the movie as assumed by many.

“Everyone can relax and breathe a sigh of relief because they were all crap. They were all kit cars. We couldn’t afford a real Ferrari. It was a Mustang chassis with a fiberglass body. They were just wretched. They wouldn’t start. We did this one scene 16 times because the car would not start. We had three of them. And when we sent that one to the window, the crew cheered. They were jumping up and down,” he added.
