Actress Natalie Portman revealed in an interview with Marie Claire UK that she was paid a third of what Ashton Kutcher was for their roles in the 2011 rom-com

"I knew and I went along with it because there’s this thing with 'quotes' in Hollywood," Portman told the magazine. "His [quote] was three times higher than mine so they said he should get three times more. I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been. I mean, we get paid a lot, so it’s hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy."



"Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar," she said. "In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar."
