Alexander Skarsgard is speaking up about inequality in Hollywood, declaring that he’s noticed a double standard when it comes to how men and women are treated in the entertainment industry.
“There is a double standard [in the film industry],” Skarsgard said in a recent interview with Elle UK, reports E! News. “I notice that with actress friends of mine. And it’s disgusting. It’s not a problem that’s specific to Hollywood. I think you see this in many professions, where men in power think they’re entitled. So these women are very brave to talk about it, and I do believe it will fundamentally change things.”
