Samuel L. Jackson is hosting a charity ball as part of London Collections: Men.
The
Pulp Fiction actor has been chosen to chair the fashion fundraiser held
at the Natural History Museum on June 15, with proceeds benefitting One
For The Boys male cancer foundation.
The
65-year-old star will be joined by famous Brits Tom Hiddleston, Simon
Pegg, Luke Evans and David Walliams as they model clothing from top
designers including Fendi, Alexander McQueen and Y-3 on the catwalk.
London-bound: Samuel L Jackson will chair a major fashion fundraiser at the Natural History Museum on June 15
Mr
Jackson said in a statement: 'Men don't tend to talk about their health
issues, worrying about appearing vulnerable. The problem is that they
do not have enough
information on the subject.
'One
For The Boys focuses on cutting through the noise to educate men, in
the hope that we can have a similar reach to that of the pink
campaigns.'

The
One For The Boys Fashion Ball is one of several events running
throughout the year to raise awareness and money for cancers that
specifically affect men.
Mr
Jackson has been the face of Sofia Davis' One For The Boys charity
since 2013, but the bi-annual menwear fashion extravaganza will be the
first public event he has hosted for them.
The
gala involves a Moët & Chandon reception, dinner cooked by a team
of Michelin star chefs and a silent auction as well as the runway show.
