The multi-millionaire cast of Oppenheimer walked out of the film’s UK premiere in ‘solidarity’ with the actors’ strike - as Hollywood grinds to a halt with unions taking militant action over how streaming services are pushing down pay and the increasing use of AI.

The likes of Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Rami Malek walked the red carpet at the Odeon in Leicester Square earlier in the night.

But the group left the event prematurely to ‘go and write their picket signs’ in preparation for the ‘imminent’ strike by the actors’ union.

But the group left the event prematurely to ‘go and write their picket signs’ in preparation for the ‘imminent’ strike by the actors’ union.

Unfortunately, they’re off to write their picket signs for what we believe to be an imminent strike by Sag, joining one of my guilds, the Writers Guild, in the struggle for fair wages for working members of the unions, and we support them.’

Christopher then attended a second premiere screening of Oppenheimer and voiced his support for the strikes while introducing the film as he praised the ‘talented’ workers.
