Olivia Colman insists the gender pay gap 'shouldn't be up for discussion' and claims female-led films like Barbie 'gets just as many bums on seats' as male-directed movies


Olivia Colman has shed light on the gender pay gap in the film industry, claiming it 'shouldn't be up for discussion' anymore.

The actress and the Top Boy star, 25, discussed a few 'slightly embarrassing' moments during filming while speaking on The Graham Norton Show that was broadcast on New Year's Eve. The 1917 Sam Mendes-directed romantic drama stars Olivia as a cinema manager, Hilary, who develops a relationship with a ticket-seller, Stephen, played by much younger Michael. Olivia said of the intimate scenes: 'There was one particular moment when I was astride Michael in a compromising and slightly embarrassing situation and he said, ''It's my mum's birthday today.''
