BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
If I was Matt Smith I'd tell these people to fuck right off and go drill themselves in their own asses.
According to
this article:
Look, Claire Foy is excellent in her role and she anchors the show, but it's no surprise why Smith was offered the larger contract: People actually knew his name and he played the Doctor on the immensely popular Doctor Who for multiple seasons. It even says in the article that he came into The Crown with "considerably more experience." The simple fact of the matter is that no one knew who Claire Foy was before The Crown. It was her big break.
If you want to argue that now, after proving her worth, Claire should be making as much or even more than Matt Smith then I would actually agree. But to say that Smith should donate his money to some silly as #TimesUp bullshit because he was the more accomplished actor and had a competent agent is fucking retarded.
