Natalie Portman is the latest major actor to speak out about the dismal gender wage gap plaguing the entertainment industry. When asked if the difference upset her, Portman said, “I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been! As The Huffington Post’s Emily Peck previously reported, Hollywood actors speaking out about pay inequality was a force behind new state laws enacted to protect equal wages for equal work.

Portman told the magazine that she doesn’t think women and men are more or less capable as directors.
