Keira Knightley: I have turned down a role due to pay gap

Actress Keira Knightley has revealed that she has turned down 'many' roles because of the gender wage gap in

Hollywood

.


The 31-year-old 'Begin Again' actress thinks it is bad that male actors are paid so much more than their female co-stars and won't consider taking on a project if she finds out her salary is lower than the men in the cast.

"The Hollywood pay gap is ridiculous and we have to do something about it. 'I've turned down

jobs

many times because of it."
