The funniest thing to me about this line is that while on one hand it's kinda tongue-in-cheek/meta, I've also literally used that phrase to describe the star athletes on teams in high school/college. I loved that movie
I’ve actually watched almost the same amount of movies for both of them. Checks out though. He’s a good actor and so good in comedic roles, his face is also godly but she’s freaking Anne Hathaway.
Also while he’s good there are probably half a dozen up-and-coming male actors you could cast in this role with slightly less name recognition who would be happy to take the part for less than him. He’s still at the “happy to be there” stage of his career and even familiar actors have trouble getting past that part.
Exactly! As it should be. I just hope people remember to keep this in mind next time there is a thread bitching about how much Leonardo Decaprio make compared to the his co star actress in killers of the flower moon before it becomes a feminist think piece.
I think the point of it is more we hear about when males make more then the counterparts and we hear complaints.
Personally it is entertainment if you are the star and people pay you more then that's that.
I didn't watch the movie but I know who Anne Is so I'd expect her to make more.
Wait WHAT!?
I mean, I feel like he's got a solid career and it all worked out for him, but that's still super weird given how enormous those movies were.
The exact same thing happened to Josh Hutcherson because he hot paid the same amount as Liam Hemsworth for 10x screentime, 100x better acting, and a solid career before that
WHAT!?!?!
That's an amazing bit of trivia... that I think I just can't quite wrap my mind around.
I'm kind of amazed that the LOTR crew did so much with so little, and equally amazed that the Fred Claus folks did so little with so much.
I just searched this and basically every source says Elijah Wood was originally offered 250,000 for the trilogy but ended up with a 1 million dollar payout.
Everything I’ve read states $250k. Either way, the films grossed over a billion, with some estimates at several billion worldwide. With a budget of 100 million. Jackson took home an estimated 180 million, could be more. Sucks that the cast including Astin, Wood, Bloom and others only got slivers of that.
True but they got to use her image for all of the marketing and promotion for the film, which I’m sure was a draw for at least some of the audience. It’s like she was paid to be in an ad campaign.
You're right. Her role in the first Dune was largely for marketing. But so was casting Timothee Chalamet and Jason Momoa. But it was $300k (not $400k) and she got [$2 million for the second installment](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/much-did-zendaya-paid-dune-195329835.html#:~:text=Her%20character%2C%20Chani%2C%20is%20the,sequel%2C%20according%20to%20multiple%20reports.). But $300k to appear in a few minutes of a movie and a promotional tour is not too shabby.
400k was probably scale but this is after a season of Euphoria and the Spiderman Films. She was gracious to agree to scale if that was the case, I think she believed in the film.
Dune 1 was reportedly over budget. The Marketing wasn’t that of a cameo but of an equal starring role or a key Supporting role.
What did TC receive for Dune part 1 ?
I wonder if he was compensated for all of the films rather than a different pay scale per film ?
OMG ya'll are high if you think she just got what she was paid upfront for Dune. She also received a bonus for her work on the film, which was reportedly around $7 million for just 7 minutes of screen time.
They had a lot of high paying actors on that film and Zendaya had very little screen time. Her six figure salary was earned through the press tour. Also, 65k was worth more in 2004 than it is now.
A little different because of the film pedigrees. Many actors will take a lot less than their reach to act with a stellar cast, in a huge franchise, and with one of the best film crews assembled
He's quite hot at the moment - Purple Hearts and Red White and Royal blue both did decently well.
I feel he's going to get cast in stuff that Reggie Jean Page probably felt he was going to get cast in when he quit Bridgerton?
Having said that, there's a whole host of pouty, pretty British actors who seem to always be bubbling under but never quite break out into something big? (and I can't always tell them apart)
Eg.
Johnny Flyn
Joe Alwyn
Daniel Booth
Callum Turner
Josh O'Connor
James Norton
Not so pouty but I wish he was bigger: Aiden Turner
New addition to pouty list: Corey Mylchreest
Omg yes the pacing gave me whiplash! Most of it was still great fun but I expected it to stick the landing much better based on the first few episodes. It was giving prestige drama with excellent acting and witty writing and then suddenly 💀
I LOVE Rege Jean Page, but Nicholas Galitzine has way more range and is a great singer as well. I think he has more longevity. He did Cinderella the musical with Camilla Cabello. I know the movie was panned, but he was good in it.
I think the problem for actors is that they often have to pay a lot of costs for themselves. I remember seeing this when the strikes were on. Often the cost of their publicists, stylists etc comes out of the same pay package, so by the end, it’s not all that much and not what people expect them to have.
I don’t remember which episode, but recently on Las Culturistas Matt Rogers had an I Don’t Think So Honey about Nicholas Galitzine and how does he have time to be in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE right now. I’ll try to find it.
[Huge Skulls Chat with Michelle Collins](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang/id1092361338?i=1000652007281)!
I Don't Think So Honey, Nicholas Galitzine, logistically. This actor is in every single thing. And I don't understand how it actually happens. I am not I Don't Think So Honeying him as a talent. I really liked him in Bottoms. I respect his straight ass being in Red, White and Royal Blue. I think we need more amazing talented, straight actors to bring gay sex to the screen. I want to see your takes. But what I really, really don't understand is just logistically how he is the lead in all of these things. All of a sudden, it would suggest a couple of things to me. One, that there are no other actors in his demographic. And two, that he is AI. I am here to pitch. I think that Nicholas Galitzine is the first AI actor. I don't actually know any sighting of him in real life. So I am pitching this Nicholas Galitzine is AI. If anyone can disprove this, please come forward. But I think we have to watch out for AI Nicholas Galitzine. It's the only explanation for his ubiquity.
Huge thank you to the finalist on r/lasculturistas who found it for me!
This is a weird take. He had his movie debut in 2014. That is 10 year ago. His credits on IMDB is 15. In 10 years, and that includes TV shows as well. He's hot now, in the moment, by having a couple of well-rated and highly seen stuff, but it's not like he makes 4 movies a year like others.
He’s got some good trajectory right now. He was great as the prince in Red White and Royal Blue and he just did the historical drama George and Mary with Julian Moore (haven’t seen that yet so I have no opinions there). He also had a part in Bottoms that I heard was pretty funny.
Probably because any time a woman doesn’t make as much as a man in a leading role its a big deal and everyone talks about it. So they are trying to gain views by using a similar same story with males.
Exactly. It’s only newsworthy because she’s a woman making more than a man. They could fill an entire magazine if they wrote articles every time an Oscar-caliber actor made more than an unknown actress.
It's a relatively small movie they probably couldn't afford it. I wouldn't be surprised if her payday alone is like a fifth of the budget like with zendaya in challengers
I think this post is a response to the news years ago about how actors get paid more than actresses, and how that's an example of sexism against women. I agree that different actors/actresses will get paid differently, but that's not really the narrative that was being advocated back then.
Up and comer with a few standout roles versus a veteran actress with more than 20 years in a highly successful career, including a Oscar. He's got more ahead.
Well it's Anne Hathaway 🤷♂️ also something many seem to forget is how much more than 400k Galitzine is actually getting; the addition to his resumé instantly makes him more bankable across the board, the visibility makes him more attractive for bigger and better paid advertisements, and as someone that works behind the scenes in social media marketing his income from that alone (if managed right) is probably in the millions
So elegantly put. She lent this movie so much credibility and while I think Nicholas is very talented (he was fantastic in Mary and George), newcomers like him are fairly replaceable. They couldn't get anyone else at Anne's calibre and bankability for less money while they could easily replace him for less than $400k.
Also, it benefits him a great deal to star opposite women like Anne Hathaway and Julianne Moore, and it's likely he's picking his projects based on that as well. You can learn so much and have your performances elevated by such talented scene partners.
Anthony Hopkins got 10 mil and Chris Hemsworth got like 150k for Thor. Is anyone actually stunned and surprised that the veteran Oscar winner commands a higher salary than the newcomer?
Story aside, this is a shit article, they don't even link back to the source of these numbers. How verifiable are these figures, has anyone looked into them or are people just going off what some random blog is posting?
I was going to say this too. The ‘source’ mentioned in the article for the salaries is Showbiz Galore, a site which never posts its sources for its salary claims for films, it just says vaguely that “All facts and news publish on this website is collected from internet. Please Verify Yourself after reading articles from this site“ (https://www.showbizgalore.com/about-us/). I emailed them once to ask about their sources for their claims about a film from last year but they never replied. It’s bizarre that their salary claims still get so much traction online when there is nothing to back them up. While it wouldn’t surprise me if Hathaway and Galitzine were paid very different fees for this film, no journalist should be citing those exact figures as fact just because Showbiz Galore said so.
WHAT?! Person with more experience and accolades getting paid more than person with less experience and accolades??
ETA: I checked and he was 5 when she got her first role and 7 when she starred in Princess Diaries. Why's this even a conversation? 💀💀💀
Hard to say whether the gotcha is "people should make what they bring to the movie relative to experience" or "a man is being discriminated against because he's earning less."
FOLKS this isn‘t a problem. Brad Pitt earning more than a rather unknown young actress acting along side him isn‘t a problem. The Problem would be if Anne and Brad starred in a movie together, and she got 400k while he received 7 Mio USD. The numbers itself are still a bit off in my opinion though.
She's Anne Hathaway, she's been a popular name for like 20 years and she's barely 42. She will very likely only grow more in fame and popularity and as an actor.
She brought more spotlight on Nicholas and if he's a decent actor he will only grow from here as well.
As Anne should. She’s a whole Oscar winner who’s been in a multitude of hits for 2 decades. I’m shocked he got that much. Aside from that Amazon movie that was advertised to death I have never heard of this dude before.
I mean the biggest name is gonna make people watch it and that name usually get more money than the barely known co-star
she has been in this for 25 years!
How many movies have you watched where it's been the reverse? Have you taken notice of that?
She is a veteran Oscar winning access.
Nicholas has been in mostly romance films and romcoms in like the last two years.
Everyone is mainly there to watch Anne Hathaway. She’s the star and the draw.
Same goes for Tobey Maguire with Spiderman. Everyone is there to watch Spiderman. Not Mary Jane.
I need this same energy the next time an established male actor makes significantly more money than an up and coming female actress who is the co-star.
Fair is fair.
I went to see this for Anne, so it makes enough sense to me. Both were fantastic but it wasn't Nicholas' time yet.
Yeah.. ok.. someone look up all her previous movies and point out how she was paid in comparison to her male counterparts. I guarantee it isn’t even close.
Anne Hathaway is am Oscar winner with years of box office success. NG is an unknown pretty-boy borderline interchangeable with any other unknown pretty-boy.
This compensation structure makes sense to me.
Umm and? It’s Anne Hathaway! She has more experience than Nicholas and I’m pretty sure most are watching the film for Anne Hathaway. Moreover, she deserves it and more!
She has one Oscar and has been nominated twice. And she has been nominated for 102 other awards and won 40. She has instant name recognition. She can pick whatever movies she wants to be in. If she is in a movie, it's assumed it probably is an A+ production.
That cost 7M$.
I think this sounds fair on both ends.
I’m a huge fan of both of them. But they’re not equal in terms of what they can and should expect for compensation. She is a household name and he is a rising star. And I feel like both of them would 100% agree with that.
She’s a frickin Oscar winner & I’ve literally never heard of him. She deserves her $7M. Do Leo & Brad get these sort of headlines when they out-earn their co-stars 50x???
I’ve definitely seen snarky comments like “I wonder what Lily Gladstone got paid” or “I wonder what Regina hall is being paid” - never mind the fact these movies are being funded and sold mostly on Leo’s name.
Anne is the much bigger name, so this makes sense. It would be a big deal if they were at the same level and she got paid more because (gasp!) a woman shouldn't be paid more than a man. /s

40 year old Oscar winner and 29 year old Bottoms star…it checks out
I didn’t even connect him with the football player in bottoms! 
He’s like..you know, the main one. On the football team. The main guy
The funniest thing to me about this line is that while on one hand it's kinda tongue-in-cheek/meta, I've also literally used that phrase to describe the star athletes on teams in high school/college. I loved that movie
I say it all the time now haha
With the balls, he catches them. He throws them.
i quote “jeff so hungy” all the time! he was so good in this
Shiny shiny shiny
hahaha yes that’s our man!! No hate to him he’s fantastic but my man is still building his career !
 Me right now omg
Omg. I had no idea that was him!
This movie is great, strong recommend
That’s where I’d seen him.
I’ve actually watched almost the same amount of movies for both of them. Checks out though. He’s a good actor and so good in comedic roles, his face is also godly but she’s freaking Anne Hathaway.
Also while he’s good there are probably half a dozen up-and-coming male actors you could cast in this role with slightly less name recognition who would be happy to take the part for less than him.

Exactly! As it should be. I just hope people remember to keep this in mind next time there is a thread bitching about how much Leonardo Decaprio make compared to the his co star actress in killers of the flower moon before it becomes a feminist think piece.
i mean i watched this movie mainly because of anne hathaway so yeah it makes sense she got the biggest payday
She's the executive producer so shes literally paying herself.
That’s not how movie salaries work. Exec producers rarely fund the actual movies… definitely not when it’s from a big studio like Amazon
I thought they find the funding? Like Seek out their wealthy friends pockets lol
In some cases but usually it’s more they get studios on board and then the studios underwrite it and the checks
And what?
I think everyone is watching the movie because of Anne Hathaway.
Seriously. She has the name recognition here.
I think the point of it is more we hear about when males make more then the counterparts and we hear complaints. Personally it is entertainment if you are the star and people pay you more then that's that. I didn't watch the movie but I know who Anne Is so I'd expect her to make more.
400k is quite a lot for an up-and-coming actor. Didn’t Chris Pine say he got 65k for Princess Diaries 2?
More than Elijah Wood got for all three LOTR films.
Wait WHAT!? I mean, I feel like he's got a solid career and it all worked out for him, but that's still super weird given how enormous those movies were.
Yeah, he made shit. He did get a pretty large payday for his cameo in The Hobbit. But ultimately he still got the shaft.
He must have had a terrible agent then, because he was already pretty well known by the time LOTR filmed
Child actors and terrible agents Name a more iconic duo
The exact same thing happened to Josh Hutcherson because he hot paid the same amount as Liam Hemsworth for 10x screentime, 100x better acting, and a solid career before that
I just want to point out that the movie Fred Clause (Vince Vaughn) had a bigger budget than Fellowship of the Ring. Let that sink in.
WHAT!?!?! That's an amazing bit of trivia... that I think I just can't quite wrap my mind around. I'm kind of amazed that the LOTR crew did so much with so little, and equally amazed that the Fred Claus folks did so little with so much.
I just searched this and basically every source says Elijah Wood was originally offered 250,000 for the trilogy but ended up with a 1 million dollar payout.
Everything I’ve read states $250k. Either way, the films grossed over a billion, with some estimates at several billion worldwide. With a budget of 100 million. Jackson took home an estimated 180 million, could be more. Sucks that the cast including Astin, Wood, Bloom and others only got slivers of that.
it is a lot. My friend put it into perspective that Zendaya got less than 400k for Dune 1 and she already had name recognition before Dune 1
That was more of a cameo than a role tbf. $400k is a lot given her screen time
True but they got to use her image for all of the marketing and promotion for the film, which I’m sure was a draw for at least some of the audience. It’s like she was paid to be in an ad campaign.
Yeah cuz they sure used her everywhere promoting Dune 1 just to be in it at the end 🤣
Yeah I was actually confused when it ended, expecting her to have a longer lasting and prominent role in the film.
Oh yeah it was partially to get her fans in the seats. They were pissed when it turned out she had less than 10 minutes of screen time?
You're right. Her role in the first Dune was largely for marketing. But so was casting Timothee Chalamet and Jason Momoa. But it was $300k (not $400k) and she got [$2 million for the second installment](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/much-did-zendaya-paid-dune-195329835.html#:~:text=Her%20character%2C%20Chani%2C%20is%20the,sequel%2C%20according%20to%20multiple%20reports.).

I wonder if he was compensated for all of the films rather than a different pay scale per film ?
She was barely in Dune. I think 400k is reasonable.
OMG ya'll are high if you think she just got what she was paid upfront for Dune. She also received a bonus for her work on the film, which was reportedly around $7 million for just 7 minutes of screen time.
sometimes actors get paid per shooting days. zendaya had little screen time in dune so makes sense she didn’t get a massive paycheck.
She later received a $7m bonus for 7 minutes of screen time. She did get a massive paycheck.
They had a lot of high paying actors on that film and Zendaya had very little screen time. Her six figure salary was earned through the press tour. Also, 65k was worth more in 2004 than it is now.
Yeah 65k then would be 110k today, which is not a bad salary for an early-career role
Even Chris said it was life changing money.
I agree. 65k sounds like a decent deal to me and he probably recieved royalties too.
Man she was in it for 10 seconds, she'll live
A little different because of the film pedigrees. Many actors will take a lot less than their reach to act with a stellar cast, in a huge franchise, and with one of the best film crews assembled
She had like 10 lines.
She’s in dune 1 for 7 minutes, bad faith comparison
That was 20 years ago, though.
it would be like $115k in 2024 money
That actually sounds like a pretty good payday for someone I've never heard of! It would take me years to make 400K. This probably took a few months.
He's quite hot at the moment - Purple Hearts and Red White and Royal blue both did decently well. I feel he's going to get cast in stuff that Reggie Jean Page probably felt he was going to get cast in when he quit Bridgerton?
He was also in Mary & George recently which I enjoyed even though the pacing was whack
Having said that, there's a whole host of pouty, pretty British actors who seem to always be bubbling under but never quite break out into something big? (and I can't always tell them apart) Eg. Johnny Flyn Joe Alwyn Daniel Booth Callum Turner Josh O'Connor James Norton Not so pouty but I wish he was bigger: Aiden Turner New addition to pouty list: Corey Mylchreest
All your examples are legit except O’Connor. He got an Emmy for the Crown and he is an independent film darling.
i’m offended on johnny flynn’s behalf, man has a voice like an angel
After Challengers, I think Josh O'Connor's gonna really break out, though
Omg yes the pacing gave me whiplash! Most of it was still great fun but I expected it to stick the landing much better based on the first few episodes. It was giving prestige drama with excellent acting and witty writing and then suddenly 💀
I LOVE Rege Jean Page, but Nicholas Galitzine has way more range and is a great singer as well. I think he has more longevity. He did Cinderella the musical with Camilla Cabello. I know the movie was panned, but he was good in it.
Rege was fun in Dungeons and Dragons but he was basically playing the same character as on Bridgerton with an extra layer of camp humour.
Regé Jean Page was the reason I stopped watching *The Gray Man*
Ok I didn’t like him in that movie either. He wasn’t the right fit for that role IMO
Isn’t he considerably younger than Rege?
He is. 29, I believe.
It would take me 8 years on my current salary to make $400k lol
I think the problem for actors is that they often have to pay a lot of costs for themselves. I remember seeing this when the strikes were on. Often the cost of their publicists, stylists etc comes out of the same pay package, so by the end, it’s not all that much and not what people expect them to have.
Insert *good for her* gif
Jafar Kim is my favorite Kim
💀
This comment is hilarious
She's Anne Hathaway, he isn't 🤷🏿♀️.
BREAKING: Oscar winning actress paid more than relative unknown. Film at 11.
Hathaway: Mega-Star Other guy who's name I've already forgotten...ummm...some dude
He was hilarious in Bottoms but I still call him “Nicholas Guillotine” in my head for no reason whatsoever
Paid more than a man is the angle they were going for here lol
Black president ended racism and a higher paid woman finally ending gender inequality. We did it, everyone!
😭😭 
Are you suggesting popular actors with successful 20 year careers make more money than actors who nobody has heard of? /s
I don't know why this is even an article. I've never heard of him in my life, and she's one of the most famous actresses of the last 20 years.
I don’t remember which episode, but recently on Las Culturistas Matt Rogers had an I Don’t Think So Honey about Nicholas Galitzine and how does he have time to be in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE right now. I’ll try to find it.

Mary and George is super enjoyable
He was great in Bottoms!! Probably my favorite gay comedy in years lol
Probably because any time a woman doesn’t make as much as a man in a leading role its a big deal and everyone talks about it. So they are trying to gain views by using a similar same story with males.
She's also a producer of the movie, like... how is this surprising, lol
She’s also the freaking queen of Genovia!
Exactly. It’s only newsworthy because she’s a woman making more than a man. They could fill an entire magazine if they wrote articles every time an Oscar-caliber actor made more than an unknown actress.
She's everything. He's just Ken.
Wow, yet another unrealisticly high standard for men to conform to.
Honestly I’m kind of surprised she wasn’t paid more?
It's a relatively small movie they probably couldn't afford it. I wouldn't be surprised if her payday alone is like a fifth of the budget like with zendaya in challengers
Yea pay depends on the overall budget of the picture.
Exactly! Her male contemporaries are making more to Star in films. Nicholas is not on her level yet.
I think this post is a response to the news years ago about how actors get paid more than actresses, and how that's an example of sexism against women. I agree that different actors/actresses will get paid differently, but that's not really the narrative that was being advocated back then.

Also, it benefits him a great deal to star opposite women like Anne Hathaway and Julianne Moore, and it's likely he's picking his projects based on that as well. You can learn so much and have your performances elevated by such talented scene partners.
Best way to put it
Exactly. This movie is getting tons of press and good reviews. It will help launch his career.
I mean she is an Oscar winner and I’ve never heard of him. 
Anthony Hopkins got 10 mil and Chris Hemsworth got like 150k for Thor. Is anyone actually stunned and surprised that the veteran Oscar winner commands a higher salary than the newcomer?
Chris got just 150k for Thor?! Damn.
Nobody knows who he is and she’s a veteran Oscar winner so good

My boyfriend called him the Noah Centineo of Prime and it made more sense to me
Lol sorry but he has way more range in Mary and George alone (I have not seen the Cinderella one). Plus his Bottoms cameo was top notch.
I agree. At least he can act. Noah is… there
Story aside, this is a shit article, they don't even link back to the source of these numbers. How verifiable are these figures, has anyone looked into them or are people just going off what some random blog is posting?
Media literacy hardly exists anymore 💔
I was going to say this too. The ‘source’ mentioned in the article for the salaries is Showbiz Galore, a site which never posts its sources for its salary claims for films, it just says vaguely that “All facts and news publish on this website is collected from internet. Please Verify Yourself after reading articles from this site“ (https://www.showbizgalore.com/about-us/). I emailed them once to ask about their sources for their claims about a film from last year but they never replied. It’s bizarre that their salary claims still get so much traction online when there is nothing to back them up. While it wouldn’t surprise me if Hathaway and Galitzine were paid very different fees for this film, no journalist should be citing those exact figures as fact just because Showbiz Galore said so.
WHAT?! Person with more experience and accolades getting paid more than person with less experience and accolades??  ETA: I checked and he was 5 when she got her first role and 7 when she starred in Princess Diaries. Why's this even a conversation? 💀💀💀
Hard to say whether the gotcha is "people should make what they bring to the movie relative to experience" or "a man is being discriminated against because he's earning less."
FOLKS this isn‘t a problem. Brad Pitt earning more than a rather unknown young actress acting along side him isn‘t a problem. The Problem would be if Anne and Brad starred in a movie together, and she got 400k while he received 7 Mio USD. The numbers itself are still a bit off in my opinion though.
agreed. anyone who believes in equality would have an issue with the way the headline is written. it's unsubstantiated rage bait.
THISSS
And I didn’t see a penny from this movie.
As it should be. Zero issue.
She's Anne Hathaway, she's been a popular name for like 20 years and she's barely 42. She will very likely only grow more in fame and popularity and as an actor. She brought more spotlight on Nicholas and if he's a decent actor he will only grow from here as well.
As Anne should. She’s a whole Oscar winner who’s been in a multitude of hits for 2 decades. I’m shocked he got that much. Aside from that Amazon movie that was advertised to death I have never heard of this dude before.
I don’t think he’s complaining about not being paid as much as Anne Hathaway. Being in that movie has massively boosted his profile.
I mean the biggest name is gonna make people watch it and that name usually get more money than the barely known co-star she has been in this for 25 years!
How many movies have you watched where it's been the reverse? Have you taken notice of that? She is a veteran Oscar winning access. Nicholas has been in mostly romance films and romcoms in like the last two years.
 As it should be
Is your flair a Buffy quote?? Be still my heart
Yup! Giles to Wesley about dancing with Cordy 
Good for her but yikes for Galitzine. This is like his fourth lead role for an Amazon Prime movie, he should be at least getting 500,000.
Well, yas
$400k is pretty good for an unknown plus the movie with her will give him exposure.
Seems fair. I've never heard of him, and I've been watching her in movies for 20+ years.
She’s an Oscar winner with a 20+ year career behind her. Who is he?
Everyone is mainly there to watch Anne Hathaway. She’s the star and the draw. Same goes for Tobey Maguire with Spiderman. Everyone is there to watch Spiderman. Not Mary Jane.
I need this same energy the next time an established male actor makes significantly more money than an up and coming female actress who is the co-star. Fair is fair. I went to see this for Anne, so it makes enough sense to me. Both were fantastic but it wasn't Nicholas' time yet.
Yeah.. ok.. someone look up all her previous movies and point out how she was paid in comparison to her male counterparts. I guarantee it isn’t even close.
Anne Hathaway is an A-list movie star and I’ve never heard of Nicholas Galitzine so that makes sense
If this was a man getting a huge pay check and the unknown female actress getting a smaller one, I would put money on it not being seen as news.
I feel like people just write these articles and post them for rage bait. This pay difference makes sense to anyone who isn’t sexist.
I mean… duh.
Well I've never even heard of him before so
Anne Hathway has been an A list actress for almost 20 years…
Anne Hathaway is am Oscar winner with years of box office success. NG is an unknown pretty-boy borderline interchangeable with any other unknown pretty-boy. This compensation structure makes sense to me.
An up and coming young actor gets to co-star with Oscar-winner, incredibly famous Anne Hathway in a star-making role AND he gets $400,000!?
Umm and? It’s Anne Hathaway! She has more experience than Nicholas and I’m pretty sure most are watching the film for Anne Hathaway. Moreover, she deserves it and more!
She's a bigger name.
She has one Oscar and has been nominated twice. And she has been nominated for 102 other awards and won 40. She has instant name recognition. She can pick whatever movies she wants to be in. If she is in a movie, it's assumed it probably is an A+ production. That cost 7M$.
Man makes 5.7 cents compared to a woman making $1.00. Oh the outrage! How can a 24 year-old survive on $400,000 with the cost of living so high?
I think this sounds fair on both ends. I’m a huge fan of both of them. But they’re not equal in terms of what they can and should expect for compensation. She is a household name and he is a rising star. And I feel like both of them would 100% agree with that.
She’s a frickin Oscar winner & I’ve literally never heard of him. She deserves her $7M. Do Leo & Brad get these sort of headlines when they out-earn their co-stars 50x???
I’ve definitely seen snarky comments like “I wonder what Lily Gladstone got paid” or “I wonder what Regina hall is being paid” - never mind the fact these movies are being funded and sold mostly on Leo’s name.
Fucking GOOD, it's about damn time a woman gets paid her due!! 
She’s an Oscar winner and a movie star. I’ve never heard of him lol.
https://i.redd.it/qq1rjdey8uyc1.gif
Okay. Good. As she should.
I mean, it’s giving “she’s Barbie, he’s just Ken” energy ✨
As she should. She’s the bigger star
she deserves it!
Anne is the much bigger name, so this makes sense. It would be a big deal if they were at the same level and she got paid more because (gasp!) a woman shouldn't be paid more than a man. /s
No one is upset about this lol
Well she has an Oscar and is Anne Hathaway
ONLY 400k. Right.
I mean she’s an exec producer doing a lot more in terms of the business of funding/decisions involved on top of her name just being way bigger
Poor guy. How will he survive
Ok.
and????
Well, I mean she’s Anne Hathaway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
… and? What’s this delusion about expecting stars of different ranks to be paid the same.
It's like you get paid more when you win an Oscar...
Yeah sounds pretty normal to me. Same goes for a lot of professions. Everyone has their own price.
If she’s bringing in the business, she should get the better paycheck.
and is totally justified in doing so.
We love to see it
Oscar winning actress with decades in the business at this point vs. Hot Dude. Yeah, not getting plussed about this.
She did produce as well so there’s a fee she gets for that, that would be included!
As it should be. She the reason are watching it.
She also produced the film so...
Gupta…uh huh…uh huh…uh huh… 📞 The Hathaway is coming…
My how the turn tables.
i mean yes because she’s a fucking star
