In Don’t Look Uplatest film by Adam McKaytwo astronomers, played by Leonardo Dicaprio And Jennifer Lawrence, they discover the existence of a giant planet-killing comet on a collision course with Earth. All 6 months before the gargantuan celestial body hits our planet. In the film, therefore, different ways are attempted to try to destroy the comet and save humanity. The film was well received by critics and the public, however, the words of the leading actress raised a lot of controversy who, interviewed by Vogue in 2022, complained that she was paid 5 million less than DiCaprio, 25 against 30. Lawrence has called this thingannoying“.
It doesn’t matter how much I do. Won’t I still get paid as much as that guy because of my vagina?
This relating to Don’t Look Up It wasn’t the first time Lawrence has been subjected to some pretty dramatic pay differences compared to her male co-stars. In 2014, Sony Pictures’ computers were hacked and it was revealed that Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper were paid more than she and Amy Adams were for the film American Hustle. When the news leaked, Lawrence wrote an essay, titled Why do I earn less than my male companions?noting that:
When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky dick people, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got angry with myself.
Lawrence also added that “she failed as a negotiator” Why “She gave up early.”
But if I’m being honest with myself, I’d be lying if I didn’t say there was a desire to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn’t want to sound ‘difficult’ or ‘spoiled’.
