Gruffudd attends Brit comedy premiere
![]() Stars Ioan Gruffudd and Matthew Rhys arriving for the premiere
Jonathan Pryce and Ioan Gruffudd were among the stars at the world charity premiere in Cardiff of British comedy Very Annie-Mary.
The film by up-and-coming director Sara Sugarman is an uplifting account of a young woman's dream to break free of her domineering father.
Rachel Griffiths - star of Hillary and Jackie - is forced to become a full-time carer for her father after he suffers a stroke. Pryce cuts a powerful figure as "The Voice of the Valleys", a man revered for his singing prowess until he suffers a stroke. Annie-Mary initially appears a downtrodden figure, after she is denied a place at the Milan School of Opera to stay with her father. She is unable to sing anymore and the film charts her progress in rediscovering herself.
The 32-year-old Welsh actor was not phased by having to take his clothes off again. "It is a lot easier to be naked in company than on your own," he said. "I think we managed to hide each other's bits and there is such a thing as gaffer tape." Human Nature was scripted by Charlie Kaufmann, who wrote Being John Malkovich, and directed by Frenchman Michel Gondry.
