A new viral video has been circulating on social media, featuring actor Claire Foy refusing to sign an autograph for a specific reason. The short clip showcases the star of hit-show “The Crown” pausing to sign an autograph but ultimately refusing to do so after seeing the colour of the pen ink. Foy continued to walk past the fan, citing “I don’t do blue” as the reason. However, various viewers have shared different theories about the actor’s refusal on social media. One user suggested that most celebrities and athletes are taught not to use blue ink cause it can be scanned and forged. However, this claim has been deemed outdated and untrue by attorney Christopher M.

Responses to the video have been varied, but some X/Twitter users appear to enjoy Foy’s “diva moment.” Others have stood up for Foy, arguing that she has a valid reason for not wanting to use blue ink.
