Ashton Kutcher Was Paid Three Times More Says Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman talks about the gender pay gap still prevailing in Hollywood says her co-star received three times her pay.
The renowned Hollywood actress Natalie Portman, whose magnificent performance in the movie titled Jackie, in the role of Jackie Kennedy, not only won major award nominations this year but was also critically appreciated across the globe.
However the actress, despite the all acquired fame, is not happy with the prevailing gender pay gap in Hollywood film industry and in a recent interview she reveals that her co-star Ashton Kutcher in the 2011 movie No Strings Attached, was paid quite a high amount of fees than she had received.
"Ashton Kutcher was paid three times as much as me on No Strings Attached," Said Natalie Portman.
"I knew and I went along with it because there's this thing with 'quotes' in Hollywood. His was three times higher than mine, so they said he should get three times more. I wasn't as pissed as I should have been." She added.
"I mean, we get paid a lot, so it's hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy." Portman explained.
Portman however, feels sorry for women in Hollywood as she believes the pay gap in Hollywood is more when compared to other professions.
"Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar. In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar." Natalie Portman stated further.
