"I don't know where it's changing otherwise," Copper told Reuters of the Hollywood gender pay gap. "But that's something that I could do."
Cooper and Lawrence have starred together on numerous films, but following the Sony hack it was reveled that for their last film, "American Hustle," Cooper was able to negotiate a higher salary than Lawrence was.
"This could be a young-person thing. It could be a personality thing. I'm sure it's both. But ... based on the statistics, I don't think I'm the only woman with this issue," Lawrence wrote in her essay. "Are we socially conditioned to behave this way? ... Could there still be a lingering habit of trying to express our opinions in a certain way that doesn't 'offend' or 'scare' men?"

Bradley told Reuters he was shocked to learn what he and Lawrence's "American Hustle" co-star Amy Adams earned for the film. He called it "embarrassing" and noted that she got paid "nothing."
So Bradley believes the only way to end the gender pay gap is for he and his peers to start a dialogue.
"Usually you don't talk about the financial stuff, you have people," he told Reuters. "But you know what? It's time to start doing that."
