The director of the hit film Anchorman is selling the film's original Sex Panther cologne to raise funds for groups campaigning against climate change. The Guardian reports that Adam McKay, who also co-wrote and directed the end-of-the-world satire Don't Look Up starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, is also selling a host of other lots to raise cash for the Climate Emergency Fund.
The fund provides financial support to the A22 Network, a group of 11 organisations that include Just Stop Oil and Insulate Britain in the UK and 10 others in countries including Germany, France and Italy. Among other lots being sold by McKay include a walk-on role in his next film, his vintage Marvel comics and vintage autographed basketball cards, including a rare card signed by the actors who play Larry Bird (Sean Patrick Small) and Magic Johnson (Quincy Isaiah) on the HBO show Winning Time.
McKay said: “People in Hollywood auction off stuff they’ve collected for a bunch of different reasons: bankruptcy, a divorce, death, impending death etc. As for me, I’m freaked out about the ongoing climate emergency.
"Come take advantage of my profound existential fear and get some cool stuff, so we can raise money to fight for action!”
