Olivia Colman Criticizes Gender Pay Gap in Hollywood: ‘If I Was Oliver Colman, I’d Be Earning a F— of a Lot More’
Michaela Zee Olivia Colman got candid about the gender pay disparity in Hollywood during a recent appearance on CNN’s “The Amanpour Hour.” “Don’t get me started on the pay disparity, but male actors get paid more because they used to say they drew in the audiences,” Colman said. “And actually, that hasn’t been true for decades, but they still like to use that as a reason to not pay women as much as their male counterparts.” Host Christiane Amanpour then asked Colman if she has experienced pay disparity herself, despite being an Oscar winner. “I’m very aware that if I was Oliver Colman, I’d be earning a fuck of a lot more than I am,” “The Crown” star said in response.
