Nanny McPhee child star Raphaël Coleman dies suddenly aged 25. His family have confirmed that he died suddenly aged 25 after collapsing while out jogging.
Raphaël's stepdad Carsten Jensen took to Facebook to reveal that he had suffered no "prior health problems".
Raphaël starred in Nanny McPhee as Eric Brown in 2005 and also had roles in It's Alive, Edward's Turmoil and The Fourth Kind.
Coleman's real love was science. Eventually, Coleman decided to walk away from acting and pursue his real passion: science. He attended the University of Manchester, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree for Zoology in 2017. He had the opportunity to go on with his studies but opted to defer his next degree program in order to be more involved in climate activism and work in the field. He used science and creativity to fund travel and work around the world.
On his website, The Wilderlost Media - https://www.wilderlost.com/mission-and-vision he explained that he was trying to travel and do the work he loved, which meant using his skills as a photographer and filmmaker to support himself. "I'm a twenty-something Zoology graduate travelling the world on a shoestring budget, working with wildlife and exploring wildernesses," he explained. "Work in my field often doesn't pay, so I'm trying to make money online through photojournalism and filmmaking as I travel."
He also kept active on social media, sharing photos of places he travelled, as well as the animals he worked with wildlife rescues.
Eventually, he joined forces with Extinction Rebellion, a group dedicated to "an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimize the risk of social collapse." They engage in non-violent protest and often get arrested as part of the efforts to raise awareness.
In an article he wrote for their website under the name Iggy Fox - https://rebellion.earth/2020/02/07/this-is-why-i-rebel/, he explained his thinking. "After seven years studying, researching and protecting nature as a wildlife conservationist, I stopped fieldwork and deferred an MSC in order to rebel full-time. Because no matter how many surveys I ran, how many turtle nests I protected, or how many young people I educated about ‘sustainability’, the seas kept rising, forests kept burning, plastic kept clogging the beaches, and our data kept showing that wildlife was being decimated."
His mother, Liz tweeted that he died 'doing what he loved', and that he had become an active member of Extinction Rebellion in the last few years of his life, and had earned the nickname 'Iggy Fox'. She wrote: "Rest in peace my beloved son Raphael Coleman, aka Iggy Fox. "He died doing what he loved, working for the noblest cause of all. His family could not be prouder. "Let's celebrate all he achieved in his short life and cherish his legacy."
