Gemma Arterton has become the latest Hollywood star to speak out about sexism in the industry.

In an interview with The Guardian, the St Trinians star revealed how, for a long time, she’d put up with it, saying that “it’s easier to conform and shut up,” but she eventually reached the end of her tether:

“There was a point about four years ago where I decided I couldn’t do it anymore.”

Arterton explains how, when she started out in the industry and voiced her opinions, they were not received well, so she kept her mouth shut. She noticed sexism in casting, in finance meetings and in the way people perceived her. But, eventually, Arterton became fed up with the constant unequal pay and body image issues.
