Episode 16: Cardiff, Curls, and Chaotic Conversations - Judy Talks with Lynn, the Founder of The White Curl charity.Description
In 2019, Lynn attended the annual Homeless World Cup football tournament in Cardiff, Wales and the trajectory of her life changed. At this event, she witnessed people from all over the world come together for a cause but one person in particular left a lasting impression on her; the chameleonesque Welsh actor, Michael Sheen.
If you don’t know the name, chances are you have seen him from one or more of his film and television roles. He’s played:
- Aro in Twilight
- Tony Blair in The Queen
- Dr. William Masters in Masters of Sex
- Arthur the bartender in Passengers
- Roland Blum in The Good Fight
- Lucien in Underworld
- Miles in Bright Young Things
- and recently Dr. Martin Whitly in Prodigal Son
- and Aziraphale in Good Omens
However, this isn’t what drew Lynn to him. She saw Michael in attendance at the event, right in the thick of it, day after day, participating, talking with everyone, helping with what needed to be done. As she puts it, he wasn’t just being a celebrity who swooped in for a few minutes to show his face and then leave. He was as dedicated to this event as everyone else (in fact, it eventually came out that his financial generosity prevented the event from being cancelled).
When Lynn returned home to the United States, she had a mission; to raise money and help the charities she encountered while in Wales. And with that, The White Curl was born.
