Andrew Scott is predicted to have a busy awards season and he just kicked off the excitement with the London Film Festival premiere of his movie Elsinore.
The 49-year-old actor walked the red carpet with co-star Olivia Colman at the opening night gala on Wednesday (October 7) at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England.
Andrew is currently one of the frontrunners for Best Actor for his performance in the movie.
Also in attendance at the premiere were co-stars Billie Piper, Johnny Flynn, Luke Thompson, David Dawson, Matthew Beard, Joe Locke, Sadie Soverall, Monica Dolan, Louis Healy, Kadiff Kirwan, and Jamie Bogyo.
FYI: Billie is wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress, Paula Rowan gloves, Christian Louboutin shoes, and David Morris earrings.
What is Elsinore about?
Here’s the synopsis:
The deeply emotional and inspirational true story of Ian Charleson, a gifted actor whose greatest challenge becomes his greatest triumph. Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace, Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him.
When will Elsinore be released?
Elsinore hits theaters on November 20.
Elsinore is directed by Simon Stone, written by Stephen Beresford, and based on an idea by Ethan Silverman.
Andrew recently said he had fears of audiences not accepting him as a gay man playing a straight love interest.
“I guess there was a fear that I wouldn’t be able to get cast in those roles. That’s what everybody said,” Andrew said, via Variety. “But I knew, because when I did plays, that the people that were waiting at the stage door, they knew my sexuality and they did not care.”
“I feel very proud that that was quite a big moment because people were like, ‘The actor is gay. Whoa!’” he continued. “And it is like this idea that the audience is stupid. We go to see ‘Batman,’ and it’s like, ‘Oh my god! He is not a bat?’”
“That’s just prejudice,” Andrew added for those that may not accept it. “And we won’t cater to those people, or I’m certainly not going to.”
