Gillian Anderson on the 'Intolerable' Sexism in Hollywood, Society
.
Up next
.Gillian Anderson
believes that "intolerable" sexism is still rife in Hollywood as it is in society.
In a frank interview with
Red
magazine, the
Hannibal
star talked about overt sexism in Hollywood, highlighting the pay disparity for her breakout role in the
X Files. “At the beginning, the pay disparity was massive. But that happens all the time in Hollywood,” she said. “It’s, ‘Do this for me, I’ll get you a job.’ All the stuff in the papers today about people in entertainment who have abused their position…”
In the interview, Anderson was also asked about how it took three years before she was earning the same as
X Files
co-star David Duchovny.
Anderson also said that sexism was “built into our society – it’s easy to miss and it’s easy to get used to it.” She added: “There are things that are intolerable in today’s world in terms of the perception of women. Whether they’re vamps or vixens, the expectation is that, if a woman is wearing a short skirt, she’s ‘asking for it’.”
Anderson is currently promoting her BBC serial killer drama
The Fall, which also features rising star
Jamie Dornan
who stars in next year's
Fifty Shades of Grey. Indeed, such has been Dornan's meteoric rise that people are less interested in Anderson's years as FBI agent Dana Scully. “On the first [season], people were like, ‘Who is this guy? Is he an ex-model or something?’ Now people don’t ever want to talk to me about
The X-Files. They only want to ask about Jamie Dornan.”
