Actor Rupert Everett to hold special evening in south Wiltshire in support of Julia's House
Hollywood star lends his support to Wiltshire children's charity
Actor, director and author Rupert Everett is to make a rare appearance in support of the charity behind Wiltshire's children's hospice.
The three-time BAFTA award nominee is holding an 'evening in conversation' event at the gallery and arts centre Messums Wiltshire on April 23rd.
All proceeds from the event will go to Julia's House which Rupert became a patron of in 2016.
Speaking about the charity, which provides a lifeline for the most seriously ill children and their families in Wiltshire and Dorset, Rupert said:
“Julia’s House is incredibly important, particularly to families who are trying to survive as a family. Even if life is short it can still be full of enormous quality and meaning. I think that’s what Julia’s House can bring to a family.”
Rupert has starred in a number of high profile Hollywood films, including the 1984 drama Another Country, alongside Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding, and in the dual role of Camilla and Carnaby Fritton in the 2007 St. Trinian’s remake.
More recently the 62-year-old wrote, directed and starred in the Oscar Wilde biopic, The Happy Prince.
This year, the actor is bringing a new screenplay to life with the upcoming film, Lost and Found in Paris. Based on Rupert’s true-life experiences in 1970s Paris, the 2022 film will star John Malkovich, Kristen Scott Thomas, Kit Clarke, and Rupert himself in a supporting role.
