I am absolutely delighted to announce that Sophia Myles will be one of the actors taking part in The 24 Hour Plays Celebrity Gala!

My agent sent me an email asking if I was interested in taking part in the 24 Hour Plays Gala at The Old Vic Theatre. I almost wet my pants in fear just reading the email. I am not a stage actress as you all know… but what I do know is this… facing FEAR is the gateway to the next dimension.

I have said yes. I can’t believe I have said yes. Sky diving naked almost seems less scary!  So please wish me luck and if I die as the curtain comes up you are all invited to my funeral.

Love to you all!  Sophia x

Some of us got together to name a star after Sophia Myles for her birthday this year. Though it isn’t until next Friday Sophia has already received her gift and sent this wonderful message:

To my dear friends – Fee, Mia, Chrissy, Natalie, Maike, Donna, Victor, Steph, Flo and Kevin,

I arrived home this evening and found a package on my doorstep. I opened it early (didn’t know it was a birthday gift). Oh my goodness, oh my goodness – you got me a star! Words can’t describe how much love filled my heart when I saw it. You guys are simply the best. Thank you so so so soooo much. I consider you my soul family and I am so blessed to have you all in my life. Who needs a star on the walk of fame when you have one in the sky? I LOVE YOU. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love always and forever,
Sophia xxx

We love you Sophia Myles and wish you all the best – may you have a wonderful day with your loved ones next Friday!

Sophia Myles sent us exclusive pictures taken on the set of ‘From Hell‘ – which was filmed in 2000. Sophia is pictured with her co-star Johnny Depp and the directors of the movie The Hughes Brothers. Thank you so much!
