🎬✨ Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard proves he’s a real-life hero! On his way to the premiere of his latest movie, Rogue Trooper, at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Barnard spotted a handbag thief in action. With quick thinking and impressive rugby skills, the 39-year-old star chased down the culprit and returned the stolen bag to an understandably shaken granny. 👏👜
Barnard, known for his roles in Dunkirk, Peaky Blinders, and Dr Who, didn’t let this impromptu adventure faze him. After ensuring justice was served, he casually made his way to the film panel to discuss his latest project alongside the film’s director, Duncan Jones, son of legendary music icon David Bowie.
Rogue Trooper, where Barnard takes on the title role, is set to release later this year. The film promises thrilling performances with Game of Thrones’ Sean Bean, Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield, and Jack Lowden from Slow Horses also joining the cast. Based on a UK sci-fi comic series, it follows Barnard as a “genetic infantryman” on a mission of vengeance in a futuristic world. 🎥🌌
Duncan Jones couldn’t help but praise Barnard, saying, “He went proper hero today.” And we’d have to agree—Aneurin Barnard, you’re a legend on and off the screen! 🌟💪
Stay tuned for more epic tales both onscreen and off! 🎞️✨
