It was just lately revealed that Matt Smith, who performs Prince Philip in The Crown, was paid substantially more than Claire Foy, who has the lead position as Queen Elizabeth II. Smith’s increased wage was apparently down to his Doctor Who fame, but it surely was nonetheless jarring to assume that he commanded a bigger wage than Foy. Although the present’s producers launched an announcement saying “going forward, no one gets paid more than the queen,” for a lot of followers and campaigners, that is merely not sufficient.
Smith is now being urged to donate the additional wage he obtained from the present to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund by way of a Care2 petition. The petition has obtained simply over 22,000 signatures to date, placing it very shut to its 25,000 aim. The petition goals not solely to get the additional wage donated however believes that “publicly addressing high-profile cases of sexism will also help create greater opportunities for all women – in all careers.” Neither Smith or Foy have commented on the pay controversy to date.
Care2 just lately created a petition urging Mark Wahlberg to donate his additional earnings from the reshoot of All the Money in the World, because it was revealed he was paid eight times more than Michelle Williams for the work. He ended up donating his complete wage to Time’s Up in Michelle’s title.
