Amanda Seyfried: 'I Was Being Paid 10 Percent Of What My Male Co-Star Was Getting

Published by Huffington Post on Tue, 14 Jul 2015


Yet another actresshas spoken out about the gender pay gap in Hollywood.Amanda Seyfried told The Sunday Timesabout a job she was paid less for than one of her male co-stars."A few years ago, on one of my big-budget films, I found I was being paid 10 percent of what my male co-star was getting, and we were pretty even in status," she said.Though the "Ted 2" star did not name the movie, she did have a theory as to why she was offered less money."I think people think, because Im easygoing and game to do things, Ill just take as little as they offer," she said. "But its not about how much you get, its about how fair it is."The gender wage gap, which has remained fairly stable over the past decade, is certainly alive and well in the entertainment industry. The hack against Sony last year shed light on Hollywood's pay disparity between men and women. Emails revealed that Jennifer Lawrence made lessthan her male co-stars for "American Hustle." The hack also led to a personal victory in the gender pay battle for Charlize Theron.After the hack, Theronreportedly negotiated to get paid the same amount as Chris Hemsworthin "The Huntsman," the upcoming prequel to "Snow White and the Huntsman." The deal was reportedly worth more than $10 million.However, it's not always possible for women to negotiate their way into wage equality. As Seyfried told The Sunday Times: "You have to decide if youre willing to walk away from something, especially as a woman."H/TBustleAlso On The Huffington Post:' -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
