Actress Emma Stone says her male
co-stars willingly take pay cuts so that she can get equal salary.
The 28-year-old, who will next be seen in "Battle of the Sexes" says
her male co-stars are willing to take pay cuts for her as they can
judge what is right and what is wrong (pay gap), reports aceshowbiz.com.
"In my career so far, I've needed my male co-stars to take a pay cut so
that I may have parity with them. And that's something they do for me
because they feel it's what's right and fair, so that's something
that's also not discussed, necessarily -- that our getting equal pay is
going to require people to selflessly say, 'That's what's fair'," Stone
told Out magazine.
Of her role as tennis star Billie Jean King in her upcoming movie, the
actress said: "She's (character) such a coach and she knows sports
psychology, and she instantly reduced it to playing catch, so I got to
feel like a golden retriever running after a ball, and just making sure
the ball was in front of my face.
"What was incredible is that she found my strengths and she played to
those. She found out instantly that I like to dance and I could move my
feet, and that was our jumping off point," Stone added.
