Walberg became the center of controversy when it was revealed last year that his co-star, Michelle Williams, earned only $1,000 for reshooting the movie’s scenes. The 10-day reshoot was required when director Ridley Scott decided to replace the actor who played Getty’s grandfather, billionaire oilman J. Paul Getty. William Morris Endeavor, the talent agency that represents both Wahlberg and Williams, said it will also donate $500,000 to the fund. Wahlberg and his team drove a much tougher negotiation for the reshoot, as first reported in The Post. The organization seeks to combat harassment in the industry, starting with a legal-defense fund for abuse victims.
