“Some heatwave-related news for yis kids. Thrilled to be voicing Harry in Scrooge: A Christmas Carol alongside an insane cast,” Fra said.
“Harry he loves Christmas. Maybe even as much as me. On @netflixuk @netflixfilm this December - and getting to sing some of the music of the titan that was Leslie Bricusse.”
Netflix confirmed the release of the festive flick on its social media accounts on Wednesday.
“Nothing like a heatwave in July to get you excited for Christmas! Luke Evans, Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley are the brilliant voice cast of SCROOGE: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, coming to Netflix in December,” Netflix tweeted.
The Co Tyrone actor has shot to prominence in recent years with rolesMarvel spin-off series Hawkeye, the Ferryman and West End production Cabaret. Last month he opened up on coming out as gay in an interview with Attitude maagzine.
Fra said: “There’s certain things I look back on and feel such sadness and frustration and, yeah, a bit of anger. I remember in religious studies class having to write an essay about how homosexuality was just blanket ‘wrong’.
“And if I hadn’t done that, I would’ve got a low grade, because the ‘correct answer’ was to say that it was a sin.
“I can’t quite believe that happened to me, and to so many others, so many other LGBT people growing up in that place at that time."
