In response to Jennifer Lawrence's scathing examination of the wage gap between actors and actresses in Hollywood, Bradley Cooper has pledged to partner with the actresses he's co-starring with when negotiating his contracts for upcoming films. "I don't know where it's changing otherwise but that's something that I could do," Cooper told Reuters. "Usually you don't talk about the financial stuff, you have people. But you know what? It's time to start doing that."
Cooper admitted that he was upset upon learning that the male leads in American Hustle ? himself, Jeremy Renner and Christian Bale ? were all paid significantly more than co-star Amy Adams, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her role. Adams "should have been paid more than everybody," Cooper said. "She worked every day on that movie and got paid nothing. It's really horrible actually, it's almost embarrassing."
