Mark Wahlberg Will Donate Reshoot Salary To Time's Up

Mark Wahlberg will donate his salary from the reshoot of the movie "All The Money In The World" to the Time's Up Legal Defense fund, the actor said in a statement.

The move comes after there was an outcry in the massive pay disparity between Wahlberg and his co-star Michelle Williams for the reshoot once Christopher Plummer replaced Kevin Spacey as J. Paul Getty. Spacey was ousted from the role after being accused of sexual misconduct.

Wahlberg said he would be making the donation in Williams' name. William Morris Endeavor , the agency that represents both Wahlberg and Williams, will donate an additional $500,000 to Time's Up, Variety reported.

USA Today reported that Wahlberg refused to approve Plummer as Spacey's replacement unless he was paid over a million dollars for the reshoot. Williams was paid just one tenth of Wahlberg's fee, earning $80 per diem. Williams previously told the publication that when the movie's director contacted her about a reshoot, she said they could have her salary and her holiday.

"Over the last few days, my reshoot fee for "All the Money in the World" has become an important topic of conversation," Wahlberg said in a statement posted to his Twitter account. "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."

The Time's Up Legal Defense Fund subsidizes legal support for individuals who have experienced sexual harassment or related retaliation in the workplace.
