Jennifer Lawrence’s shocking update on ‘Do Not Look Up’ – we did not see this coming!

Jennifer Lawrence has just made a shocking comment about her and Do not look up co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio’s paychecks for the Adam McKay film, which reveals that the actress was paid $ 5 million more than her, even though she was “number one on the call list.” According to reports, DiCaprio earned $ 30 million for the film, while Lawrence earned $ 25 million, meaning she earned 80 cents for his dollars.

As part of her cover interview for the December issue of Vanity Fair, the 31-year-old Oscar-winning actress – who is currently pregnant with her and her husband Cooke Maroney’s first child – initially told the publication that she was pushing hard to get top billing in the film’s opening credits, and Leo was “gracious” enough not to challenge it, despite the fact that the couple originally had “diagonal billing.”

“I was number one on the call sheet, so … I thought the credits should reflect that. Leo was very gracious about it,” J-Law told the magazine, adding: “I think maybe somewhere along the line I kicked to the stone further, like ‘What if it was not straight?’ “But after figuring out the pay gap, Hunger Games the star surprisingly defended her co-star and said very humbly and graciously that the 47-year-old Oscar-winning actress’ name basically has more influence than hers.

“Look, Leo brings in more box offices than I do. I’m extremely lucky and happy with my deal,” J-Law said, adding that pay inequality in general is something she knows makes people very uncomfortable. “But in other situations, what I’ve seen – and I’m sure other women in the workforce have seen it too – is that it’s extremely uncomfortable to ask about equal pay. And if you question something that seems unequal, you’re told it’s not gender differences, but they can not tell you exactly what it is. “

Do not look up also plays Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Rob Morgan, Mark Rylance, Ron Perlman and Ariana Grande, among many others, and will be released in select theaters on December 10, before going to Netflix on December 24.
