White Lotus star Theo James has just been announced as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency—a role which he has a deeply personal connection to.
"I am very proud to join UNHCR as a Goodwill Ambassador," James said in a press release. "The experience of my own family has given me an understanding of the sacrifices and struggles that refugees face. During the Second World War, my grandfather was forced to flee on a small boat from Greece to Syria, and his courage and resilience has inspired me to help make a difference to the lives of displaced people."
