CAREY MULLIGAN has joined Jennifer Lawrence's list of supporters regarding the pay-gap essay that she penned in October.
"I think it's a good thing for someone like Jennifer to speak out; it means an awful lot to women," the Oscar-nominated actress told Deadline. "Sure, there's been cynicism toward her speaking out and the fact that she makes a lot of money, but she is completely and selflessly rising above that. The discrepancy 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. It's a long overdue conversation and it's admirable what she has done. This is an age-old issue that's in every part of society."
Enjoying a successful acting platform in her own right, Mulligan is in the enviable position to pick and choose the roles that she plays and one thing she is certain about is not signing up to a franchise like Lawrence.
