Boy George actor to star in film about gay author

f86962c24bd49a0cc7a85a0bf28bfd2d Keep your eyes out for filming in Belfast!!!

Douglas Booth, the actor who starred in a BBC biopic of Boy George, has been lined up to appear in a film about A Single Man author Christopher Isherwood.

Booth, a 17-year-old Burberry model, played the Culture Club singer in Worried About The Boy and will play the role of a street cleaner who Isherwood has a brief relationship with.

Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, 27, is to play Isherwood in the film, titled Christopher And His Kind.

It began shooting in Belfast this week and tells the story of the authot as a young man who escapes his suffocating mother to move to Berlin in the 1930s.

The film is based on Isherwood’s memoirs of the same name.

Smith became the 11th Doctor Who last year, succeeding David Tennant.

The worldwide eradication of smallpox may, inadvertently, have helped spread HIV infection, scientists believe.

Experts say the vaccine used to wipe out smallpox offered some protection against the Aids virus and, now it is no longer used, HIV has flourished.

But they say in the journal BMC Immunology it is too early to recommend smallpox vaccine for fighting HIV.

Kill no cure

Lead researcher Dr Raymond Weinstein, from Virginia’s George Mason University, said: “There have been several proposed explanations for the rapid spread of HIV in Africa, including wars, the reuse of unsterilised needles and the contamination of early batches of polio vaccine.

“However, all of these have been either disproved or do not sufficiently explain the behaviour of the HIV pandemic.”

Spoilers follow.
