Olivia Colman said that she would be paid “a f**k of a lot more” if she were a man.
Olivia made the comment in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
As per the actress, there could be no justification for paying women less than men.
"Male actors get paid more because they used to say they draw in the audiences, but actually that hasn’t been true for decades."
"But they still like to use that as a reason to not pay women as much as their male counterparts. Particularly in our industry," she added.
Olivia added that she was “aware of one (example of) pay disparity that is a 12,000% difference".
Olivia is known for her performance in the hit Netflix show The Crown.
She won an Oscar in 2019 for her role in The Favourite".
Oliva was recently seen in Wicked Little Letters.
The film is directed by Thea Sharrock.
