Jennifer Lawrence is back. After a long break from acting, the Panem and X-Men star recently returned with Don’t Look Up. Political awareness, however, has been evident throughout her glittering career (via USA Today). That hasn’t changed. With clear words she now denounces the sexist inequalities in Hollywood, which also affect streaming productions such as Netflix.
Jennifer Lawrence can’t stand sexism like she did on Netflix
She told Vogue:
It doesn’t matter how much I earn. I still will Paid less than a man just because of my vagina.
The pay gap between male and female Hollywood actors has become the target of outraged criticism, especially in the last decade. As one of the Dream Factory’s most well-known stars, even Lawrence is not immune to the practice. According to Variety, the Netflix production Don’t Look Up earned it $5 million less than co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite the same level in the role hierarchy.
At American Hustle, too, she is said to have earned far less than her colleagues Christian Bale or Bradley Cooper. However, different pay for the same position is only one of many expressions of structural sexism in Hollywood. In 93 years of Oscar history only two women have won the Best Director award. It wasn’t a lack of talent.
When is the next Jennifer Lawrence movie coming out?
Maybe that’s why Lawrence is staying away from blockbuster cinema with its entrenched relationships. Her latest film is Causeway a drama about a war-torn soldier. The film will soon start on Apple TV +, there is no exact date yet.
