Recently, Marisa Tomei had to hit her colleague from “King of Staten Island” Pete Davidson, after realizing that she did not stay for the role.
The 57-year-old Oscar winner portrayed a fictional version of the star’s “Saturday Night Live” star in the 2020 film. Davidson, 28, co-wrote the screenplay with directors Judd Apatow and Dave Cyrus.
Tomei spoke with Rolling Stone on Thursday and revealed that she called the comedian the same day to ask why she had not been paid for her work on the comedy drama.
In fact, I just talked to Pete today because I said to myself, “I was never paid for it. Isn’t it? ”Said the Spider-Man actress:“ There is no way home ”. “In this age of transparency, can we talk?”
She continued: “But I still had a great time. [With director] Judd [Apatow]I was scared of the improvisational approach – which is extensive. I’m with all these standups [comics]. It was so liberating. I really changed the way I approach each character in the future. ”
Tomei also couldn’t help but burst out at Davidson’s appeal and talent, adding: “He’s so damn real and unfiltered, but very sensitive.”

“So it’s an almost irresistible combination. And he looks good, even though I played. . . let’s just put things aside for mom. Let’s never mention that again, “she joked.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe alumna recently played Aunt May Parker in Tom Holland’s iteration of Spider-Man and revealed late last year that she was campaigning for her character to be a lesbian in the trilogy’s final film.
In a December interview with Geeks of Color, she revealed more about the plot. “There was a moment when I felt that May – maybe she just has to be with a woman because Ben is gone,” said Tomei. Ben is Peter Parker’s dead uncle and May’s husband in Marvel comics.
The actress from “My Cousin Winnie” also suggested that her romantic interest be played by Sony CEO Amy Pascal.
“And somehow we talked about it,” Tomei joked. “So I really wanted Sony’s Amy Pascal to be my friend!”

The Boston University graduate added: “I was like, ‘No one should even know, Amy. I will just be in one scene and you will be there. And I’m just going to say, “Hey!” It’s just going to be a thin thing.
However, Tomei’s request was rejected by the studios and “at that time no one did it.”
The Post asked the Apatow representative for comment.
