'Jurassic World' actor Bryce Dallas Howard opens up on pay disparity between her and co-star Chris Pratt

Actor Bryce Dallas Howard, in an exclusive interview with Insider, claims that she was paid ‘so much less’ than her co-star Chris Pratt for the ‘Jurassic World’ trilogy as opposed to what was stated by the reports during the release of the films. In 2018, Variety reported that Bryce was paid $2 million less than Pratt for the second movie, ‘Fallen Kingdom’. She reportedly earned $8 million, while Chris was paid $10 million.

‘The reports were so interesting because I was paid so much less than the reports even said, so much less,’ Howard told Insider.

‘When I started negotiating for 'Jurassic,' it was 2014, and it was a different world, and I was at a great disadvantage. And, unfortunately, you have to sign up for three movies, and so your deals are set,’ she said.

Bryce further mentioned that she discussed the pay disparity with Chris Pratt, and he ensured that she receives equal pay on other franchise opportunities that were not contractually binding, such as spinoff video games and theme-park rides.

‘What I will say is that Chris and I have discussed it, and whenever there was an opportunity to move the needle on stuff that hadn't been already negotiated, like a game or a ride, he literally told me: 'You guys don't even have to do anything. I'm gonna do all the negotiating. We're gonna be paid the same, and you don't have to think about this, Bryce,' the actor said.

She continued: ‘And I love him so much for doing that. I really do, because I've been paid more for those kinds of things than I ever was for the movie.’
