Los Angeles: A Margot Robbie signed ‘Barbie’ poster, the original script for ‘Love Actually’ starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson, and a signed Ed Sheeran guitar are among the star-studded items in the latest auction for War Child , which advocates for children who experience war.

More than 70 celebrities have donated rare items to the charity’s ‘Spring Clean’ fundraiser, including War Child Global Ambassador Carey Mulligan, who is donating a limited edition book of the ‘Saltburn’ script signed by the cast.

Other items on offer include a signed Dutch Oven from Stanley Tucci, a jacket worn by Gillian Anderson on ‘Sex Education’, signed guitars from Ed Sheeran and Nile Rodgers, a signed drum head from Coldplay, various costumes from ‘The Crown’ , and a signed script.

In addition, there is the ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ script signed by Martin McDonagh, an ‘Evita’ script signed by Jonathan Pryce, a Bradley Cooper signed ‘Maestro’ book and album, a signed Florence + the Machine poster, an original Soundwaves print of Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill,’ a signed Hulk action figure from Mark Ruffalo, and much more, as reported by Variety.com.

Mulligan expressed her gratitude, saying, “Right now, more children are living through conflict than ever before. Having worked with War Child for over a decade, I am grateful to have witnessed first-hand the life-changing impact of providing vulnerable children and families with the resources they so desperately need.”

“It’s amazing what the creative industries can achieve when we come together, and I hope as many people as possible choose to help War Child by bidding on these rare items that have been lovingly donated,” she added.

‘Love Actually’ director Richard Curtis and script editor Emma Freud also pledged their support by donating the film’s original shooting script.

They said: “It contains three unseen storylines, which we eventually removed, many jokes that didn’t work, and some childish swearing that we had adults remove.”

“Many of the stories here are also told in a different order, because it turns out that writing a multi-story plot can be as complex as playing 3D chess, and we didn’t know until we saw the putting together what pieces were in it. the wrong places.”
