Olivia Colman Speaks Out Against Pay Disparities In Hollywood
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Olivia Colman says she would get paid a “f**k of a lot more” if she were a male actor. “Don’t get me started on the pay disparity, but male actors get paid more because they used to say they draw in the audiences,” Colman said. But they still like to use that as a reason to not pay women as much as their male counterparts.” After host Christiane Amanpour asked Colman if she’s faced pay disparities even as an Oscar-winning actor, the “Crown” actor explained that if she were “Oliver Colman,” she would “be earning a fuck of a lot more than I am.” “I know of one pay disparity, which is a 12,000% difference,” she added. Colman’s comments come just months after Taraji P. Henson called the disproportionate pay for Black women in the industry a “slap in the face” in an emotional interview with Gayle King on SiriusXM in December.
