"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Sean Gunn blasted Disney CEO Bob Iger over comments that the executive made about the Writer's Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes.
Shortly before SAG-AFTRA joined the WGA on strike Thursday, Iger, 72, made an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" during which he said that the pending actors union strike would have a "very, very damaging effect on the whole business." "It will affect the economy of different regions, even, because of the sheer size of the business.
It’s a shame, it is really a shame," he added. Gunn, 49, addressed Iger's remarks from the picket line in a TikTok video that was shared by the Associated Press on Friday. "I think when Bob Iger talks about, ‘What a shame it is,’ he needs to remember that in the 1980s, CEOs like him made 30 times more than what the lowest worker was making," the actor said. "Now Bob Iger makes 400 times what his lowest worker is, and I think that’s a f------ shame, Bob." Gunn continued, "Maybe you should take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Why is that?’ and not only why is that, is it okay?
Is it morally okay? Is it ethically okay that you make much more than your lowest worker?" Gunn is the brother of "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise director and DC Film co-CEO James Gunn, 56.
