posted to TikTok and has been viewed nearly 1.5 million times. Taken aback by the “Women Talking” star’s response, the man can be heard asking Foy: “What?” “I don’t do blue,” the “Girl in the Spider’s Web” star repeated. “Oh, come on,” the man can be heard groaning as the Golden Globe winner walked into the building.

Moments later, Foy was approached by another bystander with a black sharpie who managed to get her to sign something.The Post reached out to Foy’s reps for comment.

Several people rushed to the video’s comments to slam the seemingly petty act. “That is the weirdest thing,” one user laughed. “No blue, wonder what the reason is?”“I loved her so much since the crown,” a second person commented. “But was pretty disappointed in her here.” “She could have signed in blue,” a third person slammed. ” She’s not writing her personal signature, she’s just scribbling.” Other fans lept to the British actress’ defense, claiming that blue ink was actually easier to forge than black. “Most celebrities and athletes are taught not to do blue ink cause you can scan and forge the signature on other things and sell them,” one fan explained. “I was today years old when I learned that you shouldn’t sign in blue because it’s easy to forge,” a second person chimed in.Foy appeared briefly in the final episode “The Crown” while conversing with a weary Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton).Foy, who played the late monarch in the show’s first two seasons, attempts to convince Staunton, 67, to not hand over the throne to Charles (Dominic West), insisting it would destabilize the monarchy.
