Kate Winslet calls Hollywood wage inequality battle “vulgar”

Count Kate Winslet out when it comes to conversations about Hollywood’s notorious gender wage gap.

“But it’s ok. We somehow pull it together, and as long as everyone’s happy then I’m happy, and also I think having a supportive husband makes a huge difference too”, Winslet said.

The Oscar victor said she doesn’t like to talk about money publicly.

This is blatantly unfair – but the only reason I know about it is someone was vulgar enough to talk about money. “I’m quite surprised by these conversations to be honest, simply because it seems quite a odd thing to be discussing out in the open like that”.

When asked if she has experienced sexism in the film industry, she replies, “Honestly no…” Overall, she finds it all a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

So it’s possible that as a woman who earns up to nine million dead presidents per film, she’s aware that any whinging might sound like the world’s smallest violin playing Hearts and Flowers from the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

This secrecy means bosses can potentially get away with paying not just women less, but also workers with a disability or a certain colour of skin. “And it’s rather alarming that she is actually closer in age to Liam than I am… she only pointed that out to me the other day, and I was like, ‘Oh shhh!'”

However, one actress who was surprisingly fine with women being more polite and paid less was Kate Winslet.

Kate has often been vocal about her dislike for things she deems as harmful to women, even adding a “no retouching” clause to her L’Oreal campaign contract.

The actor plays Ted, who is seen preparing to be measured for a suit by Kate Winslet’s Tilly, an expert dressmaker trained by Madeleine Vionnet in Paris.

Lawrence’s essay, published last month, reflected on last year’s Sony hack, which revealed she was paid less than her male American Hustle costars.

Speaking to the host Lorraine, the Hollywood star dished the dirt on turning 40, not wearing make-up, and how she ditched the glamorous look for Steve Jobs.
