>Sir Michael Caine has waded into the Hollywood gender pay gap debate by pouring water on recent complaints by Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson and Salma Hayek that women in the movies are systemically underpaid. “It’s rubbish,” he said. “I worked with Elizabeth Taylor and she got 10 times what I did – and that was over 30 years ago. I don’t agree about the pay gap because she got a lot more money than me.”
>Caine, then nearing 40, starred as a philandering architect alongside Taylor in the 1972 film Zee and Co, in which she played his wife, a coarse socialite, who attempts to punish her unfaithful husband and his mistress.
>Taylor was, in her heyday, the highest paid star in Hollywood, male or female. For Cleopatra, she was paid a record-breaking $1 million.

He's an old conservative and butt-buddies with Nolan. Harry Brown was pretty goddamn good though
Do you think he fucked Taylor?
I bet he fucking did
lucky dog

>He's an old conservative and butt-buddies with Nolan.
Yeah, because that changes the fact that Taylor got payed more then him
Remember kids that who is saying something is the important thing, not whats being said
>>70978455
He's so fucking cool

Based Caine
Of course he's saying this stuff now cause he's literally a few years from death.

>Jlaw finds out she was paid less than the male stars for her bit part in American Hustle, is devastated and outraged.
>Jlaw is paid 10x more than the male stars in the hunger games movies... her silence is deafening

I wonder how much she got paid for the X-Men movies
dem tangerines
Reminder that Iron Man, foundation stone and ostensibly main character of the MCU, got paid the most for Avengers, but the second hgihest paid was Black Widow, who doesn't even have her own branch of the franchise, and who got paid more than all the other (male) Avengers combined.
>MUH PAYGAP
Just ask more money you dumb bitches!
OH WAIT YOU CAN'T because there's always some younger, prettier actress around the corner who's willing to do the same job only for the chance of being famous.
>>70978455
if women get paid less, why do they have more money than men?
>>70978455
Be a high power draw and you'll get paid more
This isn't a difficult concept. You think the supporting character gets more than the big headliner?

>>70978953
She must earn proportionally to all the other actresses who are paid less then men ;)

How likely is it that he's suddenly outed as a pedophile or gets into a car accident soon?
>ignores statistics
>uses anecdotal evidence
What a dumbass.
>>70978995
He's old. He will die of "natural causes".
>>70978902
Because they expect men to pay for everything
>>70978982
So essentially she's taking all other actresses' money "for" them?
>>70978995
Come on now. This is nowhere near as bad as calling Jews out for owning Hollywood.
Women don't actually have the power to do anything.

Sure, it will trickle down eventually!

Bale and Cooper got 2.5mil for a months work
Seems to me she got the best deal

Dont worry they dont have long anon.
>>70979038
it's called a counterexample you goob
Emma Watson is only famous because she stole the role from a black girl.
Another fucking overprivileged white girl complaining about her lack privilege.
