Well now we know that in addition to everything else (master castle builder, yacht racer, folksinger, etc.) he does prodigiously and superlatively, Jeremy contributes his doodles to a grateful world!
Excerpt from National Doodle Day website:
National Doodle Day, 27 February 2004 Next Auction, of over 300 celebrity doodles, starts Friday 13 February 2004 12.01pm UK Time
Welcome to Britain’s first ever National Doodle Day – a countrywide campaign of fun which aims to get the nation doodling and raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for The Neurofibromatosis Association and Epilepsy Action.
Most of us doodle everyday without thinking about its meaning but for the first time ever those insignificant scribbles can create a lasting legacy. Already more than 300 personalities from the worlds of sport, entertainment, theatre, business and politics, led by Doodle Day patron, Terry Wogan, have joined forces to support the initiative, which will embrace the whole country from school children to business people.
A host of famous names, including Sir Elton John, Jeremy Irons, Cherie Blair, Twiggy, Sir Richard Branson, Claudia Schiffer, Manolo Blahnik, Sarah, Duchess of York, and children’s characters The Tweenies and the Teletubbies, have already produced their doodles for the campaign.
