Jessica Chastain: ‘I Made Less Than A Quarter’ Of What Was Reported For ‘The Martian’
Jessica Chastain invoked the Hollywood salary opening afflicting today’s actresses in a HuffPost Live review on Friday, alluding to a recent report
“I’ve indeed never pronounced this, we think, so here we go: There’s also misinformation out there,” Chastain told horde Alex Miranda. “Like someone wrote an essay once that pronounced we done a certain volume of income for ‘The Martian.’ we done reduction than a entertain of that in reality. And so people are already saying, ‘Well, she’s creation a lot reduction than her masculine co-stars since she’s creation this.’ we done reduction than a entertain of that in reality, so there is a outrageous salary opening in a industry.”
With actresses like Jennifer Lawrence
“It’s smashing that people are starting to speak about a salary gap, and unequivocally [admit] that it’s an issue,” she said. “Women can speak about it, [but] it indeed moves me a lot to hear organisation speak about it as well. we consider a film attention is an implausible organisation of people … and so a some-more that we all plead it as a community, that’s what we consider is going to help.”
