Good morning, I'm in bed. Laptop on, slightly nervous and still a bit drunk from last night, but let's do this...

ASK ME ANYTHING.

I remember you doing a lot of work for the UNHCR how do you think a regular person can help the global refugee crisis happening right now with places like Ukraine and some countries in the Middle east? Do you think its harder to be a politically active celebrity than one that isnt as engaged?

I've been lucky to have such a varied set of opportunities in my career so far. Feel lucky to not have been too typecast, or at least theres some variety within the casting I fit into. Haven't been part of any huge franchises yet, but maybe that's for the best. Not sure what you think!

Wikipedia says I should not confuse you with Sir Douglas Allen Booth, 3rd Baronet or Australian footie player Doug Booth. Have you ever been mistaken for either? :-)

Yes, you can read about my history with the UNHCR here: https://www.unhcr.org/uk/douglas-booth.html

There are so many charities offering on the ground support, anyone can do some research choose a cause they believe in and do what they can within their means to support. Everyone has a contribution to make. As a celebrity you can help amplify, but the reason we do that is to connect to people like yourself wanting to make a difference.

G'day from Australia, mate.

Wondering what your wildest story is on set thus far in your career?

Also, how was it working with Bill Nighy in The Limehouse Golem? He comes across as a decent bloke.

I'd imagine there's definitely a feeling of freedom to not being typecast, which is really nice! Plus, big franchises feel like committing a lot of time spent in the gym and eating chicken, which is never fun.

I love watching Pride & Prejudice & Zombies despite others' criticism towards it. What's your favourite Zombie film/franchise?

VivaIbiza t1_iyv0np5 wrote

Who chose to lead in with mentioning Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?

Personally I would have gone with The Dirt. You were great in that. It’s a massively underrated movie.

Did you like Motley Crue before making that film?

When looking at the Jupiter Ascending script, did you see it for the drivel it was, but figured that it would be a great chance to work on a big budget, A lister starring movie by the makers of the Matrix, or did it read much better on paper than it turned out?

WodtheHunter t1_iyv3qdm wrote

Interesting coincidence. I just saw Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for the first time a few days ago. I think it was more entertaining than it had any right to be. Were or are you a Jane Austen fan before getting the job? Also, the dirt was a lot of fun.

What colour do you think a chameleon truly is? Do you think they choose green as their base colour because that's what's expected of them? Maybe they're transparent? Ooooooh

Hello /u/douglasbooth1,

There is not enough proof included in the post that connects your identity to the IAmA.

Unfortunately, the links or photos you've posted could have been posted by anyone, and they don't prove that you are the person doing the AMA. Your proof needs to be something that connects the fact that you're doing an AMA with your identity. This could be something like a photo of you in a work uniform or at a relevant location with a sign that has your username and the date. It could also be documents (partially redacted if desired) with a note that has your username and the date. We're happy for you to get creative with your proof as long as it makes it clear to a reasonable person that the person doing the AMA does meet the criteria laid out in the topic of the AMA.

If you can't think of a way to prove your claims publicly, you can also submit confidential proof to the moderators at this link, though bear in mind it may take some time to review.

Here's a link to the section of our wiki that discusses proof.

Please edit your post and add new proof, and reply here to let us know. If your post is more than a couple of hours old, it may be more effective to create a new post and include the proof from the start. Thanks!

If you'd like to appeal, please click here to send a message to the moderator team.
