Jon Bernthal's 11-year-old daughter's pay cheque for The Punisher has been revealed
Although most 11-year-old's are getting by with a bit of pocket money, Addie Bernthal is bagging pay cheques that most adults would be envious of.
The daughter of legendary screen star Jon Bernthal and nurse Erin Angle bagged a sizeable amount of money after appearing in a special spin-off of her dad's hit show, The Punisher.
She scored a role in the Disney+ television special, The Punisher: One Last Kill, which picks up where the chilling story that unfolded in the Marvel Cinematic Universe left off.
In a case of art imitating life, Adeline - who is affectionately known as Addie - plays the on-screen daughter of Bernthal's character Frank Castle, Lisa.

And for her five-day stint on set, she reportedly secured quite the sizeable sum.
The 45-minute special which Addie stars in dropped on Disney+ on 12 May, and fans have had plenty to say about One Last Kill already.
Viewers who tuned in saw how Frank Castle and the New York neighbourhood Little Sicily were both in pretty dire straits - and one particular scene really managed to stun people.
The official synopsis for The Punisher: One Last Kill reads: "As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight."
Bernthal previously revealed that he 'got to try his hand at creating my own chapter in [Frank's] journey' this time around, as he was involved in writing it alongside director Reinaldo Marcus Green.
Speaking ahead of it's release, the Washington-born star and father-of-three said he took inspiration from the core character that the creators of the series, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, had crafted.
"What Garth Ennis does with Frank is something I’ve tried to understand as an actor and now as a writer myself," he told ComicBookMovie.com.
"Ennis doesn’t apologise for Frank. He subverts the hero genre by being comfortable with the ugly and grey side of heroism, finding truth in the sordid dust of desperation and anger.
"That honesty was my north star when writing and producing Marvel Television’s upcoming Punisher special."
Bernthal said. "Ennis and Dillon gave us a character with clarity of purpose and absolute commitment, someone who channels loss into action with brutal honesty. That ferocity and vulnerability is what makes Frank endure. It’s what I hope to bring to every version of him, whether I’m embodying him on screen or writing him on the page."
He signed off by saying that playing Frank had been 'one of the greatest honours of his career' - and the fact that Addie joined him on One Last Kill probably made filming the Disney+ special that bit sweeter.
The pre-teen is said to have been paid very handsomely for her acting efforts.
According to TMZ - who obtained a copy of the contract for the 11-year-old that was signed by her mother Erin in July last year - reported that she received $4,326 (£3,218) for her role as Lisa.
Addie also previously appeared on screen alongside her famous father in the 2021 film, Small Engine Repair.
Needless to say, these two are quite the formidable duo.
