Blunt paid far less than Johnson in new movie
    2019-01-03  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

EMILY BLUNT faces a blunt truth — despite her box-office appeal, the actress is drawing far less money than Dwayne Johnson.

Word is that she banked in only US$9 million for her work in Disney’s upcoming “Jungle Cruise” movie while he took home US$22 million, despite her sharing credit with Johnson as co-leads, according to gossip portal TMZ.

While Johnson does pack a punch at the box office with hits such as “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (2017) and “Furious 7” (2015), Blunt is also a proven knockout.

Her current movie “Mary Poppins Returns” was slated to gross US$200 million by New Year’s Day, Hollywood Reporter noted.

Johnson has yet to win prestigious award nominations for acting but her “Mary Poppins Returns” turn has bagged Blunt a 2019 Golden Globes nod for best performance by an actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy.

She also drew critical acclaim for her portrayal of a mother under duress in spooky thriller “A Quiet Place” last year.

The latest news of income inequality shows how far Hollywood — roiled by campaigns last year to stamp out sexual harassment and create a more level playing field for everyone in the industry — still has to go.

Meanwhile, Johnson has put his money into heart-warming use, posting on Instagram that he bought a new house for his mother for Christmas.
