Actor Mark Wahlberg donates his $1.5m from All the Money in the World reshoot Time’s Up

He’ll reportedly be making the donation in the name of co-star Michelle Williams was paid less than $1000.00 for the moviee, the Slate reports.

Give me somebackground

The reshoots became necessary after Kevin Spacey who was accused of sexual misconduct by actor, Anthony Rapp, was replaced by Christopher Plummer. It was reported that while Williams agreed to work for nothing to save the film, Wahlberg negotiated a pay of $1.5m. Furthermore, Williams wasn’t told Wahlberg was getting paid, and the same agency, WME, negotiated both Wahlberg’s deal and Williams’ non-deal. She was paid per diem that totals less than $1,000.00

And now?

Wahlberg is donating the money on behalf of Williams to Time’s up in an obvious bid to make things right.

In a statement Wahlberg says:

“Over the last few days my reshoot fee for All the Money in the World has become an important topic of conversation. I 100% support the fight for fair pay and I’m donating the $1.5M to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund in Michelle Williams’ name.

Reacting, Williams say:

“Today isn’t about me. My fellow actresses stood by me and stood up for me, my activist friends taught me to use my voice, and the most powerful men in charge, they listened and they acted. If we truly envision an equal world, it takes equal effort and sacrifice. Today is one of the most indelible days of my life because of Mark Wahlberg, WME, and a community of women and men who share in this accomplishment. Anthony Rapp, for all the shoulders you stood on, now we stand on yours.
