Timothée Chalamet announced on Instagram on Monday night that he will be donating his salary from his work on the upcoming Woody Allen film A Rainy Day in New York to three charities: Time’s Up, the LGBT Center in New York and RAINN, an anti-sexual violence organization, reports The Hollywood Reporter. In his statement, Chalamet said, “I have been asked in a few recent interviews about my decision to work on a film with Woody Allen last summer … What I can say is this: I don’t want to profit from my work on the film, and to that end, I am going to donate my entire salary.” In 2014, Allen’s adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow wrote an open letter detailing the alleged sexual assault and abuse she suffered under Allen’s hands. Chalamet, who is known for his roles in Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name, said that “I am learning that a good role isn’t the only criteria for accepting a job. That has become much clearer to me in the last few months, having witnessed the birth movement intent on ending injustice, inequality and above all, silence.” Chalamet’s co-star in Rainy Day, Rebecca Hall, announced she would donate her salary from the film to Time’s Up last week. Their statements follow co-star Griffin Newsman’s announcement that he would donate his salary from Rainy Day to RAINN. Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig recently said that she regrets having worked with Allen as an actress in 2012’s To Rome With Love.
