Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson premiered Tinsel Town, a Yorkshire-shot Christmas comedy about a Hollywood star cast in a village pantomime, in Leicester Square.
Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson led the cast at the world premiere of Sky’s Christmas comedy Tinsel Town, at the Vue West End on Thursday 27 November 2025. Robbie Williams and Ayda Field Williams were among the guests in Leicester Square.
Sutherland was born at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington in 1966, the son of the Canadian actors Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas. His first leading role came in The Bay Boy, and Stand by Me, The Lost Boys, Flatliners and A Few Good Men followed.
Jack Bauer in 24 defined his career from 2001 and brought him both an Emmy and a Golden Globe. He later led Designated Survivor as an accidental American president.
In Tinsel Town he plays Bradley Mack, an out-of-work Hollywood action star who flies to England expecting a West End stage role. Instead he is cast as Buttons in a small-town Cinderella, and Wilson plays the pantomime’s choreographer. Chris Foggin directed, and the film was shot in Yorkshire, partly in Knaresborough.
Derek Jacobi, Katherine Ryan and Ray Fearon, who appear in the film, joined Sutherland and Wilson at the Vue. Tinsel Town opened in British cinemas on 5 December.
