Hollywood was abuzz Wednesday with chatter about a report that said actress Michelle Williams received less than 1% of Mark Wahlberg's paycheck for reshoots of their film, "All the Money in the World."

USA Today reported Tuesday that Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million to reshoot his scenes, while Williams received a per diem of $80 per day, totaling less than $1,000.

CNNMoney has reached out to for Wahlberg and Williams' representatives for comment.

It's not clear if Williams is aware that her co-star was paid more for reshooting the scenes, but she told USA Today in December that she was willing to do what needed to be done for the reshoot. Scott told the newspaper then, "Everyone did it for nothing." CNNMoney has also reached out to Scott for comment.

"I said I'd be wherever they needed me, whenever they needed me," she told USA Today at the time. "And they could have my salary, they could have my holiday, whatever they wanted. Because I appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort."

Actress Jessica Chastain tweeted her support of Williams, asking fans to "Please go see Michelle's performance in All The Money in The World."

"She's a brilliant Oscar nominated Golden Globe winning actress," Chastain tweeted on Tuesday. "She has been in the industry for 20 yrs. She deserves more than 1% of her male costar's salary."
