We\u2019ve suffered two immense losses over the past month: actor Chadwick Boseman<\/a> and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a> – two very different people on very different paths but with the same mission: equality for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Ginsburg had been publicly battling cancer for years, Boseman\u2019s death aged 43 was completely unexpected: the actor had managed to hide his four-year battle from the world. Upon the news of his death, people everywhere paid tribute to the <\/span>Black Panther<\/span><\/i> actor, including former US President Barack Obama and Martin Luther King III. The outpourings of grief showed just how much of an impact Boseman had had on the world, showing young Black children that they too can be superheroes and fighting for racial justice on both the big screen and in real life<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Sienna Miller has added her story to the rest, revealing that behind the scenes Boseman was an ally to women, too. When Miller was asked to work alongside Boseman on the 2019 film 21 Bridges<\/em>, Boseman took a pay cut to make sure that Miller was compensated fairly for her work in an industry that’s notorious for paying men more than women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I didn’t know whether or not to tell this story, and I haven’t yet,” Miller noted in a recent <\/span>Empire Magazine<\/span><\/i><\/a> interview. “But I am going to tell it, because I think it’s a testament to who he was.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood,\u201d Miller continued, saying that despite the fact that the film was \u201cbig budget,” she had asked for a number that the studio wouldn\u2019t agree to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boseman, who was both acting and producing the project, had actively chased Miller to play the role of Detective Frankie Burns, but as soon as she told him that she\u2019d only agree to the role if she was appropriately compensated for it, he immediately agreed to cut his own salary to make up hers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
