Carey Mulligan
Carey Mulligan praised Jennifer Lawrence for her essay discussing the Hollywood gender pay gap, saying, “It’s a long overdue conversation and it’s admirable what she has done.” She said she thought it was good that Jennifer spoke up about it, saying “It means an awful lot to women.”
The Great Gatsby star also addressed controversy surrounding Jennifer’s article since she is the world’s best paid actress.
“Sure, there’s been cynicism towards her speaking out and the fact that she makes a lot of money, but she is completely and selflessly rising above that,” Carey said.
Carey continued of the “age-old issue”, adding that it “is inherently unfair and she has an enormous platform to speak out against it”.
“Men in Hollywood look up to her because she is powerful. She’s using that platform to correct something that isn’t right,” Carey said.
