– I am aware that if I were Oliver Colman, I would earn much more than I do now – the actress told CNN. – Research suggests that women have always had a large impact on box office results. Don’t tell me about the disproportions in remuneration when male actors “male actors earn more because producers used to say that male actors attract audiences. That hasn’t actually been true for decades. But they still like to use it as a reason not to pay women the same as their male counterparts, especially in our industry,” she added. OliviaColman.
Olivia Colman: I know of one wage gap that’s as much as 12,000%.
The issue of equal pay in Hollywood began to be widely discussed ten years ago, but the latest list of the 10 highest-paid actors includes only two women. These are Margot Robbie and Jennifer Aniston. – I know of one difference in earnings that reaches 12,000 percent. Calculate it yourself – Colman gives an example of unfair remuneration.
Also in the case of the series “The Crown”, in which Olivia Colman played Queen Elizabeth II, we had to deal with unequal remuneration. The rule for this production was to change the main cast every two seasons. When it came to light that Colman’s predecessor, Claire Foy, earned less for the title role than her on-screen husband Matt Smith, it caused outrage. Producers then promised that a similar situation would not happen again in the case of Colman and the actor Tobias Menzies who played alongside her as Prince Philip.
