Actress Naomie Harris feels it's "ridiculous" that anyone can thinks it's acceptable for female stars to be paid less than male actors.

The "Spectre" actress is the latest female movie star to have her say on the ongoing inequality issue in Hollywood and she strongly believes no one can argue that is right for an actress to be paid less than an actor, reported Female First.

"I think the issue absolutely ridiculous that an actress can be paid less than an actor when they are both contributing equally to the movie, it doesn't make sense.

"I don't think it is justifiable in any shape or form. I don't think anyone can come up with an argument that makes it justifiable. Especially If both actors are coming to set every day and working the same hours. It doesn't make any sense," Harris, 39, said.
