Ricky Gervais Roasted Jennifer Lawrence at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards
Ricky Gervaishas some of the most memorable monologues at the Golden Globe Awards. TheAfter Lifestar opens up by roasting and poking fun at almost anyone who catches his eye. And something similar happened to Jennifer Lawrence in 2016. As theX-Menstar caught Gervais eye, he knew exactly what he had to say.
As he addressed Lawrence’s efforts for raising the issue of the gender pay gap in 2015.“Jennifer Lawrence made the news when she demanded equal pay for women in Hollywood, and she received overwhelming support from people everywhere,” Gervais said.
The hall was filled with applause and cheer for theMotherstar. However, it soon turned into laughter, as Ricky Gervais said,“There were marches on the street, nurses, and factory workers saying, ‘How the hell could a 25-year-old live on $52 million.'”
He then went on to share that he is totally against the gender pay gap and is paid the same“as Tina and Amy did last year.”However, Gervais was not ready to stop yet as he said,“I know there were two of them, but it’s not my fault if they want to share the money, is it? That’s their stupid fault!”
Although not everyone liked the joke and it once again led theDerekstar to face criticism, people were happy to see that Gervais’ sarcasm isn’t gender-biased. TheHunger Gamesstar, who looked nervous when Ricky Gervais mentioned her first, also didn’t seem to mind the joke.
Jennifer Lawrence raised the issue of gender pay inequality after starring in the 2013 filmAmerican Hustle,saying that she received considerably less than her male co-star in the film.
