Mark Wahlberg donated $1.5 million to the Time’s Up movement in Michelle Williams’ name after pay gap controversy.

The star posted to Instagram to share the news of his donation. There was backlash over news that Mark Wahlberg earned $1.5 million for extensive reshoots on All The Money In The World while his costar Michelle Williams received only $80 per day. Certain scenes had to be reshot as Kevin Spacey was supposed to play J. Paul Getty, but had to be recast because of sexual allegations made against him.
