Chadwick Boseman Took A Pay Cut On ’21 Bridges’ To Increase Costar Sienna Miller’s Salary

In a touching new interview, actress Sienna Miller opened up about working with the late Chadwick Boseman on the film “21 Bridges.” While speaking about her former co-star, she revealed Boseman cut his own pay on the 2019 movie to boost her salary.

Miller told Empire Magazine that Boseman made the gesture after the studio behind their NYPD police thriller declined to meet the number she asked for — which almost made her pass on the project.

“This was a pretty big-budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn’t get to,” Miller told Empire. She went on to explain, “And because I was hesitant to go back to work, and my daughter was starting school and it was an inconvenient time, I said, ‘I’ll do it if I’m compensated in the right way.’ And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid,’” she recalled. “It was about the most astounding thing that I’ve experienced,” the 38-year-old added.

Miler said she “didn’t know whether or not to tell this story,” but she decided to because she believes “it’s a testament to who he was.”

“That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. He said, ‘You’re getting paid what you deserve, and what you’re worth,’” she continued. “It’s just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully. In the aftermath of this I’ve told other male actor friends of mine that story and they all go very, very quiet and go home and probably have to sit and think about things for a while. But there was no showiness, it was, ‘Of course I’ll get you to that number, because that’s what you should be paid.’”

As we previously reported, the beloved actor had been secretly suffering with colon cancer for four years. During that time he delivered many great films. He was just 43-years-old when died last month in his home in California.

Chrissy Teigen Hospitalized For Pregnancy Complications

Model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering heavy bleeding during her pregnancy. The 34-year-old took to social media to explain her situation and told fans she’s been bleeding heavily despite being on bed rest for the last few weeks.

“We all know I’ve been on bed rest for a few weeks,” Teigen said via her Instagram Stories. “And that’s super serious bed rest, like get up too quickly pee and that’s it. I take baths twice a week, no showering… I was always, always bleeding. I’m about halfway through pregnancy and blood has been going for a month. So like, maybe a little less than a month. We’re talking more than your period, girls, but definitely not spotting. A lot of people spot and it’s usually fine.”

Teigen who is expecting her third child with singer John legend continued to explain: “Every time I’d go to the bathroom it would be blood, but honestly, just laying there would be blood,” she continued. “But today, the big difference was that it kind of was like you were to turn a faucet on to low and leave it there. It’s so weird because I feel really good. I’m usually at my happiest pregnant, mood-wise. I feel happier than I do not pregnant. That’s why it’s so hard for me to come to terms with [the situation]… It was at the point today where it was never stopping bleeding.”

Teigen added, “In the simplest of terms, we can say my placenta is really, really weak,” and then added: “I feel really good. The baby is so healthy, growing stronger than Luna [4 years old] or Miles [2 years old]. He moves a lot. He moves so much earlier than they ever did… he’s so different than they were. He’s strong. I’m so excited for him because he’s so wonderful, the strongest little dude. But basically, he’s the strongest coolest dude in the sh-ttiest house. His house is just falling apart. It didn’t have a good foundation to begin with.”

Chrissy says she’s taking her meds and remaining on bed rest like she’s supposed to. She will have to just relax and try to get through the “danger zone” of the next few weeks then things will be looking much better.
