Michelle Williams has revealed that she and Mark Wahlberg reshot all All the Money in the World scenes for free after Kevin Spacey was axed from the film.

The pair had been due to appear alongside the House of Cards actor in the John Paul Getty biopic, but after their co-star was accused of sexual misconduct by a number of men, director Sir Ridley Scott dropped him from the project and brought in Christopher Plummer to play Getty Oil Company magnate J. Paul Getty instead.

Speaking to USA Today, the 37-year-old actress revealed that the pair willingly donated their time to film scenes again as they didn't want their experience to go to waste.

Michelle - who received a Golden Globe nomination for her part explained: 'I just thought that this experience that we had all treasured was going to be essentially flushed down the toilet.'

Praising director Ridley, she added: 'I hated that this man's time and expertise and gentlemanly-ness was going to be kind of for naught, so when I got the phone call about the change of plans I was thrilled.

'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.'

The film follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail (Williams) to convince his billionaire grandfather (Plummer) to pay the ransom.

Mark Wahlberg stars as advisor and CIA operative Fletcher Chase.

Ridley spent $10 million reshooting 22 scenes in the kidnapping drama with his new-look cast, and was grateful to the film's stars that they didn't ask for more money to be added on to their salaries.

He told USA Today newspaper: 'Everyone did it for nothing. They all came in for free.'

The 80-year-old director confirmed Christopher and the crew were paid for their parts.

All the Money in the World was completed in October when Spacey was accused of making unwanted sexual advances towards Anthony Rapp when the actor was just 14 years old in 1986.

Ridley was determined to make the release date of December 22 for the movie and quickly got the cast back together in November to re-shoot scenes that had featured disgraced Spacey.

The film has since had its release date pushed back, but only by three days, now being released on Christmas Day.
