Bosworth is married to a filmmaker herself and says her husband, Michael Polish, takes extra care to ensure gender equality at the workplace. “I’m lucky that I’m married to an exception in this industry in my husband who is a filmmaker. He demands equality on his set, whether it’s gender, race, sexual orientation. He’s an exception in terms of a male in power in our industry. I feel that it’s important for both men and women to come together on this and say that this needs to stop. It needs to end.”
