BBG News

On Tuesday evening, James Blunt exuded charm as he accompanied his spouse to the high-profile debut of David Attenborough’s latest series.

Many famous individuals assembled at The Pelican, located in Notting Hill, prior to their journey towards London’s Royal Festival Hall for the principal occasion, which was funded by People’s Postcode Lottery.

Notable figures gathered to honor the renowned environmentalist, turning 98, and his new documentary, “Ocean,” which will be launched on his 99th birthday this coming Thursday.

51-year-old James Blunt, the man behind the hit “You’re Beautiful”, donned a stylish black tuxedo for the glamorous occasion, complete with a crisp white dress shirt, sleek black shoes, and a dapper black bowtie to finish off the look.

He affectionately wrapped an arm around his wife Sofia Wellesley, age 41, who radiated elegance in a deep blue, one-shoulder maxi gown on the crimson carpet.

This socialite paired the piece with a set of golden platform sandals, a Yves Saint Laurent clutch bag in gold, and accessorized with gold hoop earrings featuring a pearl detail, plus several gold bangle bracelets.

After news broke about the musician planning to introduce his own line of alcoholic beverages following a partnership with music executive Nick Gatfield and drinks expert Neil Ridley, it is now James who has emerged as the latest addition to the team, having invested in their company, Ten Four Drinks.

It was disclosed that James is now partnered in a venture with Ten Four, a company known for crafting and selling unique liquors. With a deep-rooted enthusiasm for the beverage industry, he simultaneously manages this business while also pursuing a musical career and going on tours.

‘James has invested funds in the company and is excited about growing the business alongside his associates. He also has plans for his personal line of alcohol and envisions his establishment, The Fox and Pheasant in Chelsea, as a place to sell it.’

It was mentioned that James enjoys significant popularity, and the market for celebrity-endorsed beverages is vast, making it highly unlikely that he’ll face difficulties in selling his own brand.

Ten Four Drinks’ website will go live shortly, with their mission being focused on crafting and overseeing beverage brands for exceptional global talents.

At Sir David’s event, James and Sofia were joined by several prominent figures, among them was Cara Delevingne who opted for a daring style.

The 32-year-old supermodel, always turning heads with her bold choices, donned a revealing mesh gown, showcasing an daring look.

At the event, both the actress and model were joined by her pregnant sibling Poppy, as well as their mutual friend Georgia May Jagger.

Sir David’s new film is the ‘greatest message he’s ever told’, says its producer.

David is about to explore the ‘crucial locations on the planet’ more deeply than he has ever done before, as he delves deeper into the world’s oceans.

Following extensive harm from fishing and contamination, the argument posits that the sea now stands at a critical juncture. However, it has the potential to recover and thrive once more.

In his words, Toby Nowlan, the film’s producer, stated that this isn’t just about witnessing unprecedented natural history actions. Instead, it carries the most powerful message he’s ever shared.

In the upcoming film, unique video recordings showcasing the destructive impact of bottom trawling, a widely used fishing method globally, on ocean floors, will be presented.

The images show the impact of trawling on the ocean floor as the dragged chains disrupt marine life, causing them to move towards the trailing nets.

This process additionally discharges large quantities of carbon dioxide into the ocean, a factor that increases global temperatures.

Sir David will look into uplifting tales about marine restoration in places that prohibit harmful fishing practices, like the Isle of Arran in Scotland and Hawaii.

The broadcasting icon contends that ‘the ocean can recover faster than we can ever imagine’.

According to Attenborough, he emphasizes that time is running short, suggesting a sense of urgency due to his advanced age, and expressing concern that he might not live to witness the oceans being restored.

In the heart-wrenching scene from the movie preview, he declared: ‘As a child, encountering the ocean for the first time, it was perceived as an immense, untouched territory to be conquered and dominated for mankind’s advantage.’

As I near the final chapter of my life, it’s become evident that the statement is actually reversed. Having lived close to a century on this Earth, I’ve come to realize that the most vital location on our planet isn’t found on land, but rather beneath its expansive oceans.

He commented: ‘Its current state is so dire that losing hope seems almost inevitable, if not for this extraordinary finding.’

By protecting our oceans, we’re safeguarding our entire world. After spending a lifetime capturing our planet on film, I firmly believe there’s nothing more crucial.

Sir David went on to discuss his lifetime experiences, sharing tales of remarkable underwater discoveries spanning several decades. He also emphasized the critical role we play in maintaining the well-being of our oceans.

He stated that his life span mirrors the golden era of ocean exploration. During the past century, researchers and adventurers have uncovered incredible new marine species, breathtaking migration patterns, and intricate, vibrant ecosystems far more complex than what he had envisioned in his youth.

In this movie, we’ll delve into some amazing discoveries, explore reasons behind the ocean’s current state of distress, and crucially, demonstrate ways to restore its health. It might just be the turning point for positive change.

Almost every nation across the globe has consented, in writing, to attain this basic requirement and safeguard about one-third of our oceans.

‘Together, we now face the challenge of making it happen.’
