Michelle Dockery and Allen Leech took a break from Downton
Abbey filming on Saturday to attend a special charity dinner, Remembering
Audrey Hepburn.
The pair dined together with pals including Mark and Leann
Silver, and Michelle’s sister [Louise Dockery] who helped to organize the event;
Michelle later opened up the evening’s auction by bidding 2,000 pound for a stunning
portrait of the Breakfast at Tiffany’s actress.
Michelle and Allen also later helped the auctioneer increase
the bids for a special prize that saw the lucky bidder win Michelle and fellow
Downton co-star Joanne Froggatt and Claridges. Teasing that she may even give
away secrets of the Downton Abbey film, the bid closed at 2,500 pounds.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Allen was happy to reveal that they
are still about “halfway through filming” and it’s going “okay,” although he
was understandably loathe to reveal anything more.
Up next for Allen is a role in Bohemian Rhapsod as Paul Prenter,
Freddie Mercury’s scheming personal manager, although Allen admitted that he
had yet to see the film.
“Hopefully this week!” he joked before going on to praise
co-star Rami Malek, who took on the role after the film sat in pre-production
hell for years. “He is amazing isn’t he? So good,” gushed Allen.
Audrey Hepburn’s son Luca Dotti spoke at the event where
celebrities including Laura Hamilton, Tania Bryer, Laura Pradelska and Kimberley
Garner all enjoyed the gala dinner with entertainment by The Overtones.
