Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio are the protagonists of " Don't Look Up ", a film that will be released on Netflix, but that won a bigger cache than hers. “Look, Leo contributes more box office than me. I am extremely lucky and happy with my deal,” Jennifer told the magazine.
“But in other situations, what I've seen, and I'm sure other women in the workforce have seen, is that it's extremely uncomfortable to ask about equal pay. And if you question something that seems unequal, they say it's not a gender disparity, but they can't say what exactly it is,” the Oscar winner said.
According to Vanity Fair, Jennifer pocketed $25 million to make this movie and DiCaprio $30 million. It's like she got 83 cents for every dollar he got.
In other published news, in 2013, Jennifer Lawrence was earning up to $10 million per movie, following her Oscar win and the success of "The Hunger Games." In 2019, the actress became a spokesperson for the fight for equal rates for men and women in Hollywood.
She continued to fight this when she found out, through leaked emails from Sony Pictures, that she had received ten times less than her male co-stars in "Cheating" (2013).
“When there was the invasion of Sony, and I found out that I was paid much less than those lucky penis bearers, I did not get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up too soon,” she said at the time.
