A “Barbie” poster signed by Margot Robbie and the original script for “Love Actually” are just a few of the star-studded items taking part in the latest auction for War Child, which advocates for children living through war.
Over 70 celebrities have donated rare items to the charity’s “Spring Clean” fundraiser, including War Child global ambassador Carey Mulligan, who is gifting a limited edition book of the “Saltburn” script signed by the cast. Other items available to bid on include a signed dutch oven from Stanley Tucci, a jacket worn by Gillian Anderson on “Sex Education,” signed guitars from Ed Sheeran and Nile Rodgers, a signed drum skin from Coldplay, several “The Crown” costumes and a signed script, a “Banshees of Inisherin” script signed by Martin McDonagh, an “Evita” script signed by Jonathan Pryce, a Bradley Cooper-signed “Maestro” book and album, a signed Florence + the Machine poster, an original soundwaves print from Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” a signed Hulk action figure from Mark Ruffalo and much more.
“Right now more children are living through conflict than ever before. Having worked with War Child for over 10 years, I am grateful to have witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of providing vulnerable children and families with the resources they so desperately need,” Mulligan said in a statement. “It is amazing what the creative industry can achieve when we come together and I hope as many people as possible choose to help War Child by bidding on these rare items which have been lovingly donated.”

Added “Love Actually” director Richard Curtis and script editor Emma Freud, “We are donating the original shooting script for ‘Love Actually’ to help support this incredible cause. It contains three unseen storylines, which we eventually cut, lots of jokes which didn’t work, and some childish swearing which we were forced to remove by adults. Many of the stories are also told here in a different order as it turns out that writing a multi-story plot can be as complex as playing 3D chess, and we couldn’t tell until we saw it put together which bits were in the wrong places.”
War Child’s “Spring Clean” auction runs through May 16. See all the items available to bid on here.
