Michelle Williams has said speaking out against the gender pay gap in the film industry is the proudest moment of her life.
In 2019, Williams said she was “paralysed” by “futility” after finding out that she was paid drastically less than her co-star Mark Walberg for the reshoot of All the Money in the World.
Williams was reportedly paid under 1000 while Wahlberg was paid 1.5m (£1.23m)
“No one cared,” said Williams, speaking at a hearing in Washington DC at the time. “This came as no surprise to me, it simply reinforced my life-learned belief that equality is not an inalienable right and that women would always be working just as hard for less money while shouldering more responsibility at home.
“I’ve been a working actress since the age of 12. I’ve been accredited by my industry at the highest levels and that still didn’t translate to equal compensation.”
