Timothée Chalamet Donates Entire Salary From Woody Allen Film

Timothée Chalamet is the next actor to publicly distance himself from director Woody Allen. The young actor announced in an Instagram post that he regrets working for Allen in the director’s forthcoming film A Rainy Day in New York and will donate his entire salary from the film to three different charities: Time’s Up, RAINN and the L.G.B.T. Center in New York.

The young actor explains that he cannot speak directly about his decision to work with Allen due to “contractual obligations”—however, he does say his initial interest in the film stemmed from being “a young actor trying to walk in the footsteps of more seasoned actors” whom he admires. Chalamet states that he ultimately decided to donate his salary because he wants “to be worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the brave artists who are fighting for all people to be treated with respect and dignity they deserve.” Chalamet’s co-stars on the film, Jude Law, Liev Schreiber, Selena Gomez and Elle Fanning, have remained silent about working with Allen, while Rebecca Hall donated her salary from the film to Time’s Up, as well. Hall starred in Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2008 and says she regrets working on that project, too.
