The premiere of a new film about Pharrell Williams was briefly disrupted by animal rights protesters at the London Film Festival on Sunday.
A screening of Piece By Piece, a biopic of the musician told using Lego, closed the festival, but was delayed after campaigners shouted and hung banners over the balcony in the Royal Festival Hall.
They shouted “stop the torture, stop the pain”, in reference to the use of animal skins and fur by fashion house Louis Vuitton, where Williams serves as men’s creative director.
The singer and producer, who was on stage at the time, remained calm and applauded the activists, telling them: “God bless you.”
