Fans React to Foy’s Unusual Request
During a recent encounter with a fan, actress Claire Foy, known for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth on the hit Netflix series ‘The Crown,’ made an unexpected request. When asked to sign an autograph using a blue pen, Foy replied, “I don’t do blue.” The interaction was caught on video and shared on social media, sparking mixed reactions among fans.
Concerns About Signature Authenticity
The comment section of the video quickly filled with opinions about Foy’s refusal to use blue ink. Some Instagram users expressed shock at her response, while others pointed out that many celebrities and athletes avoid blue ink due to concerns about signature forgery. They argued that colored ink autographs, such as those in blue, can fetch higher prices on online marketplaces like eBay, potentially leading to the exploitation of a celebrity’s brand.
Foy’s Representative Remains Silent
Fox News Digital reached out to Foy’s representative for comment on the matter but did not receive an immediate response. It remains uncertain whether the actress has a specific reason for her aversion to blue ink or if it is simply a personal preference.
Award-Winning Performances and Moving On
Foy’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in the first two seasons of ‘The Crown’ earned her critical acclaim and numerous awards, including a Golden Globe, two Primetime Emmy Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. However, in 2017, Foy made the decision to leave the show, citing her own mental well-being as the primary reason.
In an interview with People magazine, Foy expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and her fondness for the show’s cast and crew. She explained, “I’ve got a lot of love for the people who are still doing the show, but for my own sanity, I ended the show when I ended it. I let it go and moved on, and I think that’s quite healthy.”
Reflecting on her departure, Foy acknowledged that while she appreciated being associated with the iconic character of Queen Elizabeth, she did not want to be defined solely by that role. She recognized the honor of being well-received as the queen but emphasized her desire to explore other projects and diversify her acting repertoire.
As fans continue to discuss Foy’s autograph preference, the actress remains focused on her future endeavors and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
