Olivia Colman touched upon a persisting issue in Hollywood during a candid conversation on CNNs The Amanpour Hour.
The actress appeared on the show with director Thea Sharrock to promote the film Wicked Little Letters.
Research suggests that [women have] always been big box office draws, Olivia told host Christiane Amanpour.
Dont get me started on the pay disparity, she went on to say.
But male actors get paid more because they used to say they draw in the audiences.
I ask Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman about the gender pay gap in Hollywood.
Do the maths, I know, she added.
This isnt the first time Olivia has opened up about the double standards in the film industry.
She recently spoke about how the idea of men bringing a bigger audience to theaters is a lie.
People say men get paid more because they get more bums on seats.
It can be proved in the box office.
I dont know why were still having to discuss it!
