Hollywood’s pay gap — Hollywood’s pay gap

Hollywood is evolving by the day when it comes the gender, inclusion, diversity, neutrality and all kinds of positive aspects. Of course, film industries across the world are also playing their part, but Hollywood is always looked to as the beacon on account of the global popularity the industry and its stars enjoy as also the big bucks they play in. Speaking of big bucks though, there’s still some distance to go when it comes to bridging the gender pay gap in Hollywood. Of course, we’re not going overboard like when actresses or feminazis (not true feminists) claim that a lady should be paid the same as her male counterpart for a 10-minute role or a newcomers or much smaller star should get the same salary as a big star who actually makes the movie run or like Amber Heard complaining of being paid less than Jason Momoa for Aquaman 2, citing her domestic violence case as a weak excuse, when he’s literally the title character and a way, way bigger star than her. But there are genuine cases of the pay gap sticking out like a sore thumb with actors like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and more. Here’s how…

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are Hollywood elite yet he she was paid half of his $20 million when they did Mr. and Mrs. Smith as husband and wife no less.

3/5

Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth — Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth

Charlize Theron is a far bigger and much senior star to Chris Hemsworth, who’s only claim to fame are Thor and Avengers, yet she was initially offered much less than the latter to return for the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, and had to negotiate a lot to get her worth.

4/5

Matt Smith and Claire Foy — Matt Smith and Claire Foy

Sure, Matt Smith gained popularity after Doctor Who, but it was mostly in the UK and other Who fans the world over, and it’s not like he turned into Tom Cruise overnight. Yet, he was paid more than Claire Foy, who essayed the titular character on Netflix’s The Queen.

5/5

Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher — Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher may be popular, but nowhere as popular as Natalie Portman, who’s not only a bigger star, but also acts circles around him, not to mention being an Oscar winner and bosting a far better and more diverse filmography. It’s befuddling then to say the least that he took home a fatter paycheque for No Strings Attached.
