Tuna-cuddling Helena Bonham Carter rejoices at new UK marine reserve

CUDDLING a tuna to raise awareness of the endangered fish appears to have paid off for Helena Bonham Carter.

The actress posed nude with a tuna to prevent the fish, popular and important to Spain’s coastal economy, going the way of the dodo.

And now the UK government has agreed to create the world’s largest marine reserve, at 324,000 square miles, around Britain’s last overseas territory in the Pacific, the Pitcairn Islands.

The actress, 48, said: “I never knew taking my clothes off could be so effective. I must do it more often.”
