The French actor and director Julie Delpy has revealed that she refused to make Before Midnight, the third in the celebrated romantic drama “Before” trilogy, unless she received the same pay as her co-star Ethan Hawke.
In Before Midnight, they are in a relationship, spending the summer in Greece.
In Before Sunrise she meets Hawke’s character, Jesse, on a train and they spend the night walking around Vienna.
Alongside her acting work, Delpy has directed seven features, including 2 Days in Paris and 2 Days in New York.
