Rupert Everett is an actor in Hollywood and locals of the Byron Bingo Club in Hucknall recently were surprised when the star showed up to attend a bingo session. Everett is filming a movie on Lord Byron and he visited the Bingo Clue during a film break.

Everett had previously visited a few haunts of Lord Bryon including Lisbon, Turkey and Albania and then moved to visit Hucknall. This is where the poet is buried. The movie is being filmed for Channel 4 as a documentary called The Scandalous Adventures of Lord Byron. The movie will follow Byron’s life and journey across Europe.

During his visit, Everett played bingo with the locals and discussed the romantic poet. According to witnesses, Everett seemed to really enjoy himself and he got on extremely well with the local women. How fun for the locals to find a Hollywood star in their bingo hall and have the chance to play and talk with the actor!
