Actress Hilary Swank says male actors earn ten times more than their female colleagues.

The 'Boys Don't Cry' actress attacked the disparity in Hollywood pay at the Loyola Marymount University School of Film and TV, reported Digital Spy.

"My male counterpart will get paid ten times more than me - ten times. Not double, but ten times for the same job. We only have this much left for the female actress.

"I mean, there's two genders on this earth. Both are compelling, interesting, diverse, wonderful in all their own separate ways. And yet there's an influx of male roles and there's just not for women," she said.
 

Swank was last seen in 'The Homesman' with Tommy Lee Jones.
