“Liam Neeson Speaks Out Against Gender Pay Gap, Advocates for Equal Pay for Women

The pay gap between men and women in the entertainment business has long been an issue.

Men often get paid far more money than their female counterparts, even if their positions are equal. Male superstars, meanwhile, frequently earn bigger paydays than female superstars.

While promoting his movie The Commuter, according to Entertainment Weekly, Neeson told an interviewer the pay gap is “f*cking disgraceful.” He also said it’s vital for men to take an active role in ensuring things are equal:

We’re starting, and it’s starting with these extraordinary actresses and brave ladies. We, as men, have got to be part of it, you know? We started it, so we have to be part of the solution.
