‘It’s A Sin’ Star Callum Scott Howells To Play Flamboyant Aristocrat Henry Paget In Film ‘Madfabulous’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: It’s A Sin star Callum Scott Howells has been tapped to play flamboyant and rebellious aristocrat Henry Paget in indie film Madfabulous, which is due to shoot this summer.
The Mad As Birds (Poms) production will be directed by Celyn Jones (The Almond And The Seahorse) and will chart the true story of the fifth Marquess of Anglesey who in the late 19th Century eschewed societal protocols of class and gender with his theatrical expressions and lavish social life, spending a multi-million pound fortune before his untimely death aged 29.
The British peer, dubbed “the dancing marquess”, was known for wearing voluminous robes, cross-dressing and his fluid sexuality and gender identity, all of which contributed to him becoming the black sheep of his aristocratic family.
Filming is due to get underway on the island of Anglesey, North Wales in August. Script comes from Anglesey-born Lisa Baker in her feature film debut.
