Kiwi actor says Prince Harry was 'lovely' to work with on sustainable travel shoot
A Kiwi actor who worked alongside Prince Harry in a new sustainable travel campaign says was a “lovely guy” and “brilliant” to work with.
As part of a campaign for his-not-profit organisation, Travalyst, Harry stars in a video alongside Kiwi actors Rhys Darby, Rena Owen and Dave Fane. The video was filmed in California, where the prince is now based with wife Meghan Markle, 3-year-old son Archie, and 11-month old daughter Lilibet.
After the video’s launch, Fane, a founding member of the Naked Samoans, known for his work in Bro’Town and Sione’s Wedding, said Harry was “so cool”, and a “fine upstanding young man”.
The pair had a “lovely chat” during the shoot, in which Fane told him he’d once met his father, Prince Charles, at a play they’d put on in Auckland. Charles even ended up recording a guest voice part in Bro’Town as a result.
Fane laughed describing that he’d asked Harry to “ask your dad if he remembers me”.
In the video, Harry is shown jogging when he is accosted by Darby’s character, a “rating agent”.
Darby explains he is from New Zealand and accuses Harry of dropping a lolly wrapper at Auckland’s Bethells Beach during his tour of the country in October 2018.
When Harry doesn’t react, Darby says: “It might have been a confusing time, it was windy.”
Harry responds: “I don’t think it was confusing. It was an incredible time. We had an amazing time in New Zealand. It’s beautiful.” Read More...
