Jessica Chastain praised her It: Chapter Two co-star James McAvoy for supporting equal pay even before it became a raging topic of discussion post #MeToo and Time's Up movements. Chastain, 42, who has been a vocal advocate of gender equality, said McAvoy endorsed the idea even before it became "cool".

"Before the #MeToo and Time's Up movement, James McAvoy was always a proponent of equal pay. Even when we did The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby (2013), he and I were doing the same amount of work, the same everything, and we got equal pay for that movie. He's always been a proponent of that.
