'I've never concerned myself with monetary matters': Kate Winslet clarifies comments on gender pay gap after saying it's 'vulgar' to discuss money

Kate Winslet has clarified her comments on the Hollywood gender pay gap after saying that it's 'vulgar' to discuss money.

The 40-year-old was once again asked about her thoughts on the subject, which Jennifer Lawrence spoke out about during a recent essay.

'I have never concerned myself with monetary matters,' Kate told Deadline. 'I almost feel like I can’t comment on other people’s comments, but I admire people who publicly stand up for themselves.

Clarifying her comments: Kate Winslet has spoken about the gender pay gap once again, saying that she has 'never concerned herself with monetary matters'. She is seen here last week

She added: 'I’ve never been in the situation where I feel the need to make those types of comments. I’m fortunate. I have a nice life and career and I’m blessed to be 40 years old and still doing it.'

Kate also said that speaking about the issue now means that Jennifer will regularly be quizzed about it for the rest of her career.

'It reminds me of the comments that I made on women and body image,' she explained. 'At 40, I’m still getting asked questions about those statements that I made years ago. At 45, Jennifer Lawrence will still be asked about the pay issue.'

Speaking out: Jennifer Lawrence, pictured last month, penned an essay about the gender pay gap in Hollywood for Lena Dunham's newsletter Lenny Letter in October

Kate came under fire for dismissing the discussion as 'vulgar' when she was asked about it by BBC Newsbeat last month.

'I'm having such a problem with these conversations,' she said. 'I understand why they are coming up but maybe it's a British thing. I don't like talking about money; it's a bit vulgar isn't it?'

She continued: 'I don't think that's a very nice conversation to have publically at all. I'm quite surprised by these conversations to be honest, simply because it seems quite a strange thing to be discussing out in the open like that.'

Under fire: Kate was criticised last month for saying that it’s 'vulgar' to discuss money. She is seen here at a screening for her film The Dressmaker on November 11

Kate also told the publication that she is 'a very lucky woman' and feels 'quite happy with how things are ticking along'.

She added that she does not believe she has personally experienced sexism in the film industry.

Jennifer brought about a conversation on the gender pay gap in Hollywood after penning an essay for Lena Dunham's newsletter Lenny Letter in October.

It came after a hacked Sony email revealed that Jennifer and Amy Adams were earning less money for their roles in American Hustle than their male co-stars Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner.

Her latest project: The 40-year-old is continuing to promote the Steve Jobs movie, which came out in October, along with her new film The Dressmaker

Several big names praised the 25-year-old for speaking so openly about the issue, including Hillary Clinton, Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan, Jessica Chastain, Mark Ruffalo and Elizabeth Banks.

One of the first people to come out in support of Jennifer was Bradley Cooper, who suggested that he could team up with future female co-stars for salary negotiations, to ensure they got equal pay.

He told Reuters: 'I don’t know where it’s changing otherwise but that’s something that I could do. Usually you don’t talk about the financial stuff, you have people. But you know what? It’s time to start doing that.'

Her biggest supporter: Jennifer's co-star Bradley Cooper (who she is pictured with in March) was full of praise for her essay, and said that he could team up with future female co-stars for salary negotiations

And speaking about Amy Adams, who was the female lead in the movie, Bradley added: 'She worked everyday on that movie and got paid nothing. It’s really horrible actually, it’s almost embarrassing.'

However their co-star Jeremy Renner - who received more money for the film than both Amy and Jennifer - said that it's not his place to discuss the issue.

The 44-year-old told Business Insider: 'That's not my job. 'I don't know contracts and money and all that sort of stuff.'
