Lawrence whining about making less than DiCaprio


Jennifer Lawrence crying over being paid $5 million less than DiCaprio. That’s because he was the main character and a bigger draw. Her movies just don’t do well. Even with her stripping naked in Red Sparrow, it barely broke even.

Also, I don’t remember her whining about making $8 million more than Chris Pratt in Passengers though she had a lot less screen time.

I thought Red Sparrow was a pretty good movie. But the first 45 minutes or so of that film are complete trash. It doesn't start getting good until the last hour or so.

But yeah, if I had to choose between JL and LD as who the better actor is, I would have to go with LD. But it's pretty close. It's not like they're great actors but I do think LD has been in some more memorable movies/roles than JL.

I think JL is mostly known for her part in The Hunger Games and even those films weren't "that" good. I like her though, I think she has good screen presence. And she was quite funny in Don't Look Up. I really liked her a lot in this movie. In fact, it might be my favorite JL movie, I liked this movie a lot and as of today, it's probably my favorite disaster film.

But anyhow, I'm rambling on... I don't think she has much to complain about in regards to this film.

Don’t Look Up is a good movie. I enjoyed it. It was also fun watching beautiful actors try to look ugly. 😄

I suppose Mark Rylance made less than JL. Did he also complain?

He was the best part of it. Among the Mt. Rushmore's of cameos.

For crying out loud. Leo's got 16 years seniority over her, and he's been hot stuff in Hollywood for more than ten years before she started acting. I'm surprised she was only paid $5 million less.
