Olivia Colman recently addressed Hollywood’s gender pay gap on CNN. She criticized the disparity, noting male actors are often paid more despite outdated reasons. Colman highlighted a 12,000% pay difference if she were male.
She discussed this topic on “The Amanpour Hour” with director Thea Sharrock. Colman, known for her roles in “The Crown,” “The Favourite,” and more, emphasized the ongoing issue of pay disparities in the film industry.
Colman is not alone in speaking out. Taraji P. Henson similarly confronted racial wage gaps while promoting “The Color Purple.” Frustrated by the inequities, Henson shared her exhaustion with the unequal treatment and lack of progress in renegotiations.
The importance of advocating for equal pay and opportunities was evident in both Colman and Henson’s statements. These discussions shed light on the ongoing battle for fairness and equality in the entertainment industry.
