Julia Roberts Loved Jennifer Lawrence's Wage Gap Essay, Too

STX Entertainment's 'Secret In Their Eyes' PremiereLots of famous folks have been throwing their support behind Jennifer Lawrence after the actress penned a scathing essay condemning Hollywood's gender-based wage gap. Now, a fellow Oscar winner -- and previous America's Sweetheart title-holder -- is also chiming in with her approval.

In an interview with "Good Morning America," Julia Roberts said she completely agreed with Lawrence's thoughts on the issue -- and said she respected the young actress for speaking up.

"I applaud her. She's a young, fabulous, talented whippersnapper and I love that she's stirring things up," Roberts told "GMA."

And the lovefest didn't stop there.

" ... [S]he's so energetic and seems to speak her mind and I think it's great. I think it's great to kind of shake things up," the actress added. "I think it's great to go, 'Excuse me. Over here. I know something now and I'm frustrated by it and why is this?'"

Like Lawrence is now, Roberts is famous in part for commanding a $20 million-per-movie paycheck, and we're glad to see the trailblazer acknowledge those who are following in her footsteps -- and encourage more change in the seemingly-stagnant world of Hollywood gender equality. It's also heartening to know that even A-listers like Roberts are are #TeamJLaw; the stars really are just like us.
