I Deserve More Pay Than What I Am Getting - Felicity Jones

 

Felicity Jones has had it up to here with unequal pay for women as the 33years old British actress, who plays young rebel Jyn Erso in the new film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is the latest actress to speak openly about the problem, following the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Patricia Arquette.

She said “I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing, that's what every single woman around the world wants, we want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position. And I think it's important to talk about it.”

The actress also talked to Glamour about her Rogue One character and breaking onscreen gender stereotypes. She said “Everyone wanted to create a character that was not in any way objectified, we didn't want to sexualize Jyn...We don't even see Jyn's arms! That's not her priority. She's a survivor, and she has a mission to complete.”
