Chadwick Boseman donated part of his own salary for ‘21 Bridges’ to co-star Sienna Miller when the studio refused to match her demands.
“This was a pretty big budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn’t get to.”
Miller was hesitant to join the project at first as she was exhausted at the time from working non-stop, plus her kid was going to start school but Boseman convinced her to take the role of Frankie Burns as he was a big fan of her work.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Miller revealed that Chadwick Boseman gave up some of his salary for 21 Bridges to increase hers so that she’d get compensated fairly:
“It was astounding. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. He said, ‘You’re getting paid what you deserve, and what you’re worth.’”
