Jennifer Lawrence says she is not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio because the leading actor makes more money than she does.
For those who may not be aware, Lawrence was dubbed as one of the country’s leading actresses in terms of her payments in 2015 and 2016. It’s all thanks to her hard work and effort that many recognized her great talent in acting.
Her films grossed a massive six billion dollars at the box office and she really was being hailed as a great force to reckon with. But wait, it didn’t stop there.
Lawrence also managed to reach the list of the top 100 most influential people of all time in the world in 2013. Then in the years 2013 to 2016, she was hailed as being on Forbes’s top 100 celebrity list too. So as you can see, she was definitely in a league of her own.
But recently, we saw the Hunger Games actress sit down and speak to Vogue. She discussed her payments and the gap she had with other fellow actors that were male. And as you can expect, she didn’t like it one bit.
Jennifer Lawrence did not stop there. She went on to conclude how most male actors in the Hollywood industry are overpaid and that includes some of the biggest names that have been her costars too.
Media outlet Variety added how DiCaprio ended up making a staggering $30 million from a movie that Jennifer Lawrence was in too. But she only earned $25 million. That’s a mega $5 million less than her co-actor. And as you may expect, the frustration here was at its peak for the celeb.
One of her reps commented how the celeb does get irked by this. She feels it’s an issue that’s very prevalent yet very few people discuss and she wishes things weren’t like that.
“The pay gap is large and there is a certain level of insult that comes into play. I know that I’ll never get paid as much as that guy because of the fact that I have a v*gina”- the celeb concluded.
