Emma Stone Says She Is Lucky To Have Equal Pay

The celebrated Hollywood actress Emma Stone, who has been in the Oscar buzz with her significant role in the critically acclaimed movie La La Land, states that she has been quite lucky to get the same pay as her male co-star in the film.

The actress said that she has been very impressed with the same pay she received as her male-co stars, despite the fact that gender wage gap is still prevalent in Hollywood industry.

"We should all be treated fairly and paid fairly. I've been lucky enough to have equal pay to my male costars. Not 'lucky.' I've had pay equal to my male costars in the past few films." Said Emma Stone.

She continued, "But our industry ebbs and flows in a way that's like, 'How much are you bringing into the box office?' 'How much are you the draw or is the other person the draw?"

"I felt uncomfortable talking to my agent or lawyer about it because I was like, 'Do people want to see me as much as they want to see Steve Carell?' It's a weird conversation to have because it's trying to see oneself from the outside." The actress added.

"What are we at? Seventy-nine cents to the dollar? It's insane. There's no excuse for it anymore." The actress stated further.
