The King’s Speech star has teamed up with Oxfam America - an international relief organisation that aims to create lasting solutions to end poverty, hunger and injustice - to allow one lucky bidder and a friend the opportunity to meet him at the premiere of his movie ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ on December 6 in Los Angeles.

But the 51-year-old actor has reassured fans about getting star-struck if they win the prize because he is often taken aback when he meets famous musicians or writers.
“Ever so often, I will meet someone who I greatly admire and get truly dumbstruck,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
“I’m a big fan of the people in the world of music and literature. If I’m a big fan of somebody, I prefer to keep at a safe distance because I don’t know what I will do,” he added.
