Amanda Seyfried Reveals She Was Paid 10% Of Her Male Co-Star’s Salary
She said: “I think it’s a wonderful thing, and lots of people use it responsibly, and it should be legal”.
But Amanda says that in her view, “it’s not about how much you get, it’s about how fair it is” and that female stars “have to decide if…”
Yet another actress has spoken out about the gender pay gap in Hollywood.
Although the actress didn’t go so far as to name the actor or the film, she did reveal it was a “few years ago”.
Seyfried believes that every actress should fight for equal rights but that being “willing to walk away from something” is an individual choice.
Actresses getting paid millions of dollars to star in films may find little sympathy when they complain about their salaries, but the discrepancy between what they and their male co-stars make still manages to shock us.
In May, in the wake of the Sony email hacks, Oscar-winner Charlize Theron described engineering a $10m (£6.4m) pay increase to put her on par with her co-star Chris Hemsworth for the forthcoming Snow White prequel The Huntsman. “So I have been working through it. I’m terrified, but this is exactly what I wanted”.
Amanda Seyfried is sitting on the scenic set of “The Big Wedding” talking about the awesome ability of her co-star Robert DeNiro to improvise scenes in the film. “Yeah, that pissed me off.”
The 29-year-old “Mean Girls” star said current drugs laws need to be relaxed in the United Kingdom, reported The Independent.
Other actresses to recently call out gender discrepancies not only in wage compensation, but also in treatment, include Rose McGowan, Patricia Arquette, and more.
