Actress Olivia Colman slammed the alleged gender wage gap still affecting acting roles today during an appearance on CNN’s “The Amanpour Hour » on Saturday.
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.
