The Attenborough you've never heard of ready to step into Sir David's shoes: Actor and eco-warrior Will is about to hit the big time in a major new TV series - but are his woke views a step too far for his great uncle?
Sir David Attenborough's great nephew Will has landed a huge new role in the upcoming TV show Outrageous alongside Bridgerton star Bessie Carter.
You may not have heard of Will Attenborough, 33, but that's about to change when he bursts on to screens today in the TV series Outrageous, based on the lives of the Mitford sisters - the daughters of Lord and Lady Redesdale who became embroiled in fascism, communism, infamy and scandal in the 1930s. Alongside his acting career, he has campaigned with Extinction Rebellion - a move that might put him at odds with Sir David, who previously warned that the group risk ‘disenchanting an awful lot of people’ by disrupting their lives with protests. Rather than their own jets or chauffeur-driven cars, actors are encouraged to use alternative forms of transport such as train travel with producers being asked to support their requests through scheduling ‘extra recovery time’ and subsidising the artist if their quest to be green will cost them more.
