Jessica Chastain: This Is An Industry Rife With Racism, Sexism And Homophobia

Jessica Chastain has always spoken upfront against hypocrisy in Hollywood. The actress has been one of the first actors to publicly condemn Harvey Weinstein. She is also the first to stand against the gender pay gap.

Recently, the actress revealed in an interview, “This is an industry rife with racism, sexism and homophobia”. "It is so closely woven into the fabric of the business that we have become snowblind to the glaring injustices happening every day.” Chastain also pointed to actors forced to keep their sexual orientation secret despite the industry supporting same-sex marriage. She also talked about the gender pay gap, criticising Hollywood for preaching equal pay but not offering the same.

On the work front, the actress is said to be joining the X-Men film series in the next instalment subtitled Dark Phoenix. She is also working in a Xavier Dolan directorial titled The Death and Life of John F. Donovan. Moreover, the film stars Kit Harington and Natalie Portman in the lead roles.
