Actress Olivia Colman had harsh words against the gender pay gap during a recent CNN appearance on Saturday.
Colman, who starred in the award-winning Netflix series „The Crown,“ appeared on „The Amanpour Hour“ to discuss her role in one of her more recent films „Wicked Little Letters.“ While discussing the film, she was questioned whether she’s seen evidence that women can now be considered „big box office draws.“
„Don’t get me started on the pay disparity, but male actors get paid more because they used to say they drew in the audiences,“ Colman said. „And actually, that hasn’t been true for decades but they still like to use that as a reason to not pay women as much as their male counterparts.
