Oscar-nominated actor Dame Emma Thompson has been pictured on-board a £200million superyacht on the water in Venice.

The gargantuan vessel belongs to billionaire Fox News co-founder Barry Diller and his wife Diane von Furstenberg.

Von Furstenberg is also a household name thanks to her globally successful designer fashion brand.

And the trio weren't the only A-listers on-board the yacht as the likes of Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen were also spotted.

The outing is worlds away from a previous famous boat incident involving Thompson dating back to 2019.

The actor joined Extinction Rebellion protestors on the streets of London where she irked the public by blocking traffic in protest.

Alongside fellow protestors, Thompson boarded a bright pink "boat" on the streets of London, bringing traffic to a standstill.

However, she was criticised at the time for the hypocrisy of jetting back and forth from LA to London to attend the protests.

She even read aloud a fake weather report during the protest as she preached about the world heading for "irreversible change".

Thompson defended her actions by claiming she was racking up far fewer air miles since taking part in climate change activism.

The actor has homes in the US, UK and Venice itself alongside her husband and fellow actor, Greg Wise.

Also joining her onboard the superyacht was Mujen Spirits co-founder Bruce Bozzi who shared a snapshot of his time in Venice alongside the stars.

Bozzi posted a snap of a dinner he shared with the A-listers and their families as he captioned: "Most beautiful fish caught last night fed this family of friends!

"Family owned small restaurant, great white wine, loving conversation with close friends ....my favorite! Hello Saturday."

The awards self-proclaim it "recognises and supports extraordinary women who are dedicated to transforming the lives of other women".

Joining Thompson at the awards will be human rights lawyer Amal Clooney who is also up for an award.

Diane von Furstenberg, Candice Bergen, Emma Thompson, and More Get Their Final Yachts In

Diane von Furstenberg Candice Bergen Emma Thompson and More Get Their Final Yachts In

Once again, it’s that time of the year. Labor Day is next week, and so summer’s unofficial close drifts ever closer, lurking beyond the summer horizon, just lying in wait to whisper in your ear that you need to go buy pants and get your life together. Things will soon have a wash of seriousness to them. In will come books, notebooks, sweaters, and a furrowed brow. Out will go skin and frivolous yachts. 

But not yet. There’s still a week, and some smart people seem to be getting their last yachts of the summer in. One last vacation on the books. A final hurrah, a goodbye to all that yachting, at least until next season. Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, card-carrying yachters , invited some friends to their big ship over the weekend. The evidence came from within, a call from inside the house, if you will, as we know about this trip due to an Instagram from the cofounder of a spirits brand, Bruce Bozzi, as spotted by the Daily Mail , and not due to paparazzi. This is all to say, where the trip was is anyone’s guess. My guess? I’m going to say Mallorca. This is based on nothing, except, perhaps, that it seems like a nice place to take a 305-foot superyacht called Eos that’s reportedly worth $200 million . 

The travelers were many. Emma Thompson, Diane Sawyer, and Candice Bergen. If the guest list were to stop there, then von Furstenberg could sell tickets to the cruise. That’s someone’s idea of a dream cruise. That’s maybe my idea of a dream cruise. But there were still more people on the trip. Bozzi and his husband, Creative Artists Agency cochairman Bryan Lourd , plus film producer Jason Blum and his wife, Lauren Schuker, and Ricky Van Veen, CollegeHumor cofounder and Allison Williams ’s ex.

Good for all of them. Smart people. Taking advantage of the last days of yacht season by yachting. Who knows what the fall will bring, what kind of work must get done, which big ideas will have to get thought up. For at least a little longer, one can be amongst friends, brain as smooth as the sea on a calm and breezeless day.

'Hypocrite': Eco-activist actress Emma Thompson spotted on £200m yacht in Venice

2023-09-01T10:21:12.551Z

Highlights: The Oscar-winning actress went to the 31th edition of the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, August 80. Known for its environmental activism, its appearance on a superyacht has caused misunderstanding. The actress was spotted enjoying a 5-star dinner, seafood platters and bottle of wine, on her 92-meter-long naval ship named "Eos", in homage to the Greek goddess. Note that it was, recently, the most expensive yacht in the world, before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos bought one for £500 million.

The Oscar-winning actress went to the 31th edition of the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, August 80. Known for its environmental activism, its appearance on a superyacht has caused misunderstanding.

In 2019, she was seen navigating the streets of Oxford aboard a flashy pink mini boat of Extinction Rebellion – XR for short – an environmental social movement demanding the use of non-violent disobedience, as part of a protest against climate change. Three years later, Emma Thompson, still an actress and self-proclaimed eco-activist, showed up at the Venice Film Festival on the pontoon of a completely different ship: a £200 million superyacht, according to information from the Daily Mail . A very luxurious appearance and against his apparent convictions, which has aroused the incomprehension of some.

A goddess dinner

Strolling on the hull of the boat wearing a bathrobe to print animal Alexa Chung, at about 200 euros, the interpreter of Cruella sank a few happy days under the sun of the Mostra. The Oscar-winning actress was spotted enjoying a 5-star dinner, seafood platters and bottle of wine, on her 92-meter-long naval ship named "Eos", in homage to the Greek goddess. Note that it was, recently, the most expensive yacht in the world, before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos bought one for £500 million.

In several photos captured and distributed by the Daily Mail , Emma Thompson also enthuses on the phone and then holds in her hand what appears to be her speech. Indeed, the actress was present at the 80th edition of the Venice International Film Festival as part of the DVF Awards, a prize designed by designer Diana Von Furstenberg to celebrate enterprising and enterprising women. Amal Clooney and Emma Thompson were nominated this year for this coronation. Shortly after revising her text, she was joined by other American celebrities, including Diane Von Furstenberg herself.

The "darling of the ecologists"

On the web, the comments were not long in coming. Many spectators are indignant, once again, at the lack of coherence between the speeches and actions of some actors. "Hypocrite," reads the majority on Twitter. British conservative commentator Darren Grimes quipped: "The darling of liberals and environmentalists, Dame Emma Thompson, is lounging on a £200 million superyacht in Venice." But also the scathing words of another subscriber: "Emma Thompson is a climate activist. Superyachts consume more fuel than private jets. She wants you to spend an hour a week washing your little cans for recycling while she makes fun of you for being poor. I respect this level of trolling (provoking in order to provoke controversy or disrupt a discussion, editor's note) ."

Reproaches that recall another episode, the one with Leonardo DiCaprio in January 2022. Figurehead of actors-hollywood-climate activists, the latter had also attracted the anger of Internet users after an appearance on an XXL yacht off Saint-Barthélemy (Caribbean), with his girlfriend at the time, Camila Morrone. The actor of the environmental satire Don't Look Up had been photographed aboard the Vava II, a pleasure boat of 96 meters long and among the most polluting on the planet, the full tank of fuel amounting to more than 300,000 euros. A prince's holiday that had earned him the sweet sobriquet of "eco-hypocrite" on social networks. It's Emma Thompson's turn to get the nickname back.

Emma Thompson unwinds on £200m superyacht – after bringing London to standstill on eco-warrior protest boat

emma thompson yacht

Oscar-nominated actor Dame Emma Thompson has been pictured on-board a £200million superyacht on the water in Venice.

The gargantuan vessel belongs to billionaire Fox News co-founder Barry Diller and his wife Diane von Furstenberg.

Von Furstenberg is also a household name thanks to her globally successful designer fashion brand.

And the trio weren’t the only A-listers on-board the yacht as the likes of Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen were also spotted.

The outing is worlds away from a previous famous boat incident involving Thompson dating back to 2019.

The actor joined Extinction Rebellion protestors on the streets of London where she irked the public by blocking traffic in protest.

Standing on the deck of Berta Cáceres, the now-iconic pink boat, Emma Thompson addressed a sprawling crowd of protestors and gave a slew of media interviews. It was April 2019, Extinction Rebellion had occupied Oxford Circus in London, and the actress was eager to lend her headline-generating celebrity status to the group’s cause.

As it turned out, however, the tabloids told a different story. “Dame Emma Jets 5,400 Miles to Show How Green She Is!”, the Daily Mail crowed. In subsequent months, it went on to gloat “Emma Thompson Admits She is a Hypocrite for Flying Round the World While Protesting Climate Change”, as if to confirm its initial cod-outrage had been vindicated.

Woman gives peace sign in front of green banner

The charge of hypocrisy is slippery. It tends to get thrown around in a moralistic tone, but does it really have anything to do with morality at all? Did Emma Thompson really do anything worse than the millions of others who take long-haul flights each year and don’t receive the same criticism?

As the philosopher Judith Shklar argued , hypocrisy is more like an exposed flank on the battlefield of ideas than a genuinely blameworthy character trait. The charge of hypocrisy is used against political opponents to generate what she called “psychic annihilation”: it can force them to lose faith in their deeply held political beliefs and convictions, without having to offer alternatives.

Criticising someone on the basis of moral principles usually implies you endorse those principles. By mocking Thompson’s hypocrisy, however, the Mail succeeded in making her cause appear less worthy, without having to pretend to be particularly virtuous itself.

So when climate activists are accused of hypocrisy, it is less a problem for the hypocrites themselves than a problem for the cause of climate advocacy. Anti-hypocritical discourse can be more pernicious than the hypocrisy it attacks – the sight of our well-meaning but imperfect neighbours in the pillory is often enough to convince us that striving to better ourselves isn’t worth the social risk.

Such arguments descend, in Cambridge professor David Runciman’s words , into “second-order hypocrisy”, or hypocrisy about how hypocritical we must necessarily be. A puritanical obsession with casting out insincerity can actually undermine public standards. If people become convinced that only saintly true believers pass muster, the rules-based order can start to break down.

Hypocrisy you should be worried about

Is it high time we stopped moralising about hypocrisy completely, then? The story isn’t over, because in certain contexts, hypocrisy can take on a more worrying aspect. The next major UN climate summit, known as COP26 and currently scheduled to be held in Glasgow in November, has been leveraged by the UK government for a ready supply of chauvinistic rhetoric, treated as a platform for the country to claim “world leader” status. There is even speculation that the “Festival of Brexit” originally planned by previous prime minister Theresa May is set to morph into an “eco-jamboree” of climate-themed boosterism for “Global Britain”.

The current UK government’s eagerness to signal its moral authority on the world stage is, however, at odds with its actual policy. While COP26 president Alok Sharma has been attempting to get other countries to sign up to phasing out coal power and combustion-powered vehicles , at home the government has declined to overrule plans to open a new coal mine for the first time in 30 years.

As it stands, the decision will now be put to a public inquiry , and therefore likely delayed until after COP26. The failure to nix the project went against the advice of the government’s own Climate Change Committee.

Here we see a different face of hypocrisy: hypocrisy as an abuse of power. Making a special case of yourself involves treating similar cases differently, a type of unfairness. But the problem is more than that. There is something distinctly objectionable about using your authority to influence the behaviour of others, while refusing to submit yourself to the same principles.

This is embodied in the old republican idea that we should strive for an “empire of laws and not of men” , where political leaders and private citizens alike should expect to be subject to the same standards.

We can, and should, treat the hypocrisy in a case like Emma Thompson’s differently from the hypocrisy of the UK government. Unless politically powerful agents apply the same standards to themselves, attempts to control or influence the behaviour of others must be seen as illegitimate. They are instances of arbitrary power, and therefore oppressive and illiberal.

While the average activist needn’t lose sleep about their own hypocrisy, then, the hypocrisy of those with real power – governments, their agencies and representatives – should be a cause for genuine concern. In an ideal world, it is here the tabloids would be focusing their attack.

Emma Thompson, Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen vacation on yacht

  • Billionaire mogul Barry Diller and wife Diane Von Furstenberg invited stars such as Emma Thompson, Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen aboard their $200M yacht
  • Also present on the trip were movie producer Jason Blum, CAA's Bryan Lourd, his husband Bruce Bozzi and Vimeo founder Ricky Van Veen
  • The dinner party were seen dining on fish that was freshly caught on the 305-foot yacht over the weekend 

Barry Diller and his wife of over 20 years Diane von Furstenberg invited a slew of celebrities to vacation on their $200 million yacht.

Mujen Spirits co-founder Bruce Bozzi shared a snap from a dinner on the yacht, which featured celebs such as Emma Thompson - who was photographed in London earlier this month - Diane Sawyer, Candice Bergen and movie producer Jason Blum, along with Diller, 81, and Von Furstenberg, 76.

Diller - one of the original Fox network co-founders with Rupert Murdoch who is said to be worth $4 billion - dropped a whopping $200 million for his 305-foot mega-yacht known as Eos back in 2006.

The yacht was well known as the largest luxury yacht in the world until Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos ' 500-foot mega-yacht Y271, which reportedly cost $500 million.

The dinner took place on Saturday, with a dinner provided by a huge fish caught by the vacationers.

'Most beautiful fish caught last night fed this family of friends!❤️ Family owned small restaurant, great white wine, loving conversation with close friends ....my favorite! Hello Saturday,' Bozzi said.

Bozzi (pictured front left) was seated next to his husband, CAA co-chairman Bryan Lourd, while Jason Blum was seated next to wife Lauren Shucker, and Vimeo founder Ricky Van Veen sitting next to von Furstenberg.

While it's unclear where the vacation took place, Bozzi also shared a snap of him and Blum at the top of a scenic hike. 

Diller and von Furstenberg's summer yacht vacations have been A-list events, with past guests including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Andy Cohen, Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa, to name just a few. 

Bozzi and Lourd, who has been the managing director of major talent agency CAA since 1995, were married in 2016, after Lourd left his ex-wife Carrie Fisher after coming to the realization that he was gay.

Bozzi is the fourth-generation owner of The Palm, an iconic New York City steakhouse.

Diller started his iconic career in the mail room at the William Morris agency before moving on to ABC and quickly moving up the ranks there before taking over as chairman of Paramount Pictures in 1974.

He moved on to Fox in 1984, where he became one of the co-founders of the Fox TV network alongside Rupert Murdoch.

He currently serves as the chairman of IAC and the Expedia Group, and he made headlines in April for warning about the use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) in media.

''If all the world's information is able to be sucked up in this maw and then essentially repackaged...there will be no publishing, it is not possible,' said Diller, whose IAC owns Entertainment Weekly, People, and dozens of digital news and information sites. 

'When the internet first began, everything was free, and it was kind of decreed at that time that everything was free, and therefore all publishers said they really had no other choice,' said Diller.

'The amount of destruction that took place at the at the beginning when it was declared a free medium...was enormous,' he added.

'I think that today is a potentially analogous to that, which is if publishers do not say 'you cannot scrape our content, you cannot take it' -- you cannot take it transformatively, to get to the key word in fair use, but you cannot take it and use it in real time to actually cannibalize everything,' said Diller.

'And if you think that won't happen, I think you're just being a fool,' he added.

Extinction Rebellion's Iconic Pink Boat Has Been Towed Away By Police

The pink boat used by Extinction Rebellion activists to blockade Oxford Circus has been towed away by police after five days at the heart of the climate demonstrations in London.

The boat, which became a symbol for the ongoing disruption, was dismantled on Friday afternoon, several hours after Dame Emma Thompson used it as a stage to rally protesters.

Police were initially forced to remove several activists from the deck as dozens of other officers formed a huge line to force back others on the ground.

The mast was then dismantled and the boat was towed away to a nearby location as the crowds chanted, “we have more boats”.

A cordon was also placed around the area during the removal, the Press Association reports.

Protesters later sat down in the road at the junction of Great Portland Street and Langham Street to stop the police towing away the pink boat.

One protester glued themselves to the road to stop the boat, campaign group Extinction Rebellion said.

But the group decided to let the boat go and the activists have began to move out of the vehicle’s path.

The crowds, many of whom carried flags and banners, chanted “we love you” to the police convoy before departing.

The scene unfolded as the Metropolitan Police said it had made 106 arrests by around 5.30pm on Friday, bringing the total since Monday to 682.

“The serious disruption the demonstrations are causing to people in London and beyond is unacceptable and we completely understand the concern it is causing to those who are disrupted by it,” a tweet said.

*Arrest update* So far today we have made 106 arrests. This brings the total to 682. The serious disruption the demonstrations are causing to people in London and beyond is unacceptable and we completely understand the concern it is causing to those who are disrupted by it — MPS Events (@MetPoliceEvents) April 19, 2019

Hours earlier Dame Emma, the Oscar-winning British actress, arrived in Oxford Circus and gave a speech to crowds from the boat.

She said: “We are here in this little island of sanity and it makes me so happy to be able to join you all and to add my voice to the young people here who have inspired a whole new movement.”

Speaking after to reporters, Dame Emma added: “If you can’t have fun whilst saving the planet, what’s the point?

“Protest should always have a sense of joy in it because what we are protesting about is saving this extraordinary home of ours and also celebrating the passion and inspiring energy of this young generation.”

Earlier, on Friday morning, about 20 activists, most of them under 17, had staged a brief demonstration on roads near Heathrow Airport.

Standing close to a tunnel which leads to terminals two and three, they unfurled a black banner with the message: “Are we the last generation?”

Several police officers watched over the group before an XR spokesman announced before midday there were no further plans to cause disruption at the airport.

Police maintain a strong presence as Extinction Rebellion protests continue at Oxford Circus in London.

All roads remained open during the demonstration, which is part of a two-week campaign that began in central London on Monday.

Waterloo Bridge has now been blocked by demonstrators for five days.

Ten people had been charged by the Met by Thursday night and three others arrested by British Transport Police were remanded in custody after they appeared in court accused of obstructing trains at Canary Wharf.

Routes are also blocked around Parliament Square and Marble Arch, and Home Secretary Sajid Javid has urged police to use the “full force of the law”.

“I totally condemn any protesters who are stepping outside the boundaries of the law,” Javid said.

“They have no right to cause misery for the millions of people who are trying to lead their daily lives.”

Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, told BBC Breakfast the protests were “very, very difficult” to handle and could cost “millions”.

XR has pledged to continue causing disruption until its demands are met.

They want the Government to declare a climate emergency and take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.

Video report by ITV News Correspondent Richard Pallot

A pink boat used by Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists to blockade Oxford Circus has been towed away by police after five days at the heart of the climate demonstrations in London.

The boat, which became a symbol for the ongoing disruption, was dismantled on Friday afternoon, several hours after Dame Emma Thompson used it as a stage to rally protesters.

Dame Emma Thompson has rallied cheering Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists blocking London’s busiest shopping street and declared “our planet is in serious trouble”.

The Oscar-winning British actress had climbed on to the boat to tell crowds addressed crowds “our planet is in serious trouble”.

She said: “We are here in this little island of sanity and it makes me so happy to be able to join you all and to add my voice to the young people here who have inspired a whole new movement”

She read a poem by writer and illustrator Jackie Morris, who had been asked to compose a "Letter to the Earth".

Speaking to reporters, Dame Emma she said her generation had failed to protect the planet for young people.

Dame Emma, who also joined demonstrators on Thursday, added: “We have seriously failed them and our planet is in serious trouble, we have much, much less time than we thought.

“I have seen the evidence for myself and I really care about my children and grandchildren enough to want to be here today to stand with the next generation.”

But after flying in from the US, she told ITV News that she would not travel economy class, saying: "I bloody don't. No!"

The Love Actually actress challenged critics who have said demonstrators are using the protests to have fun.

“If you can’t have fun whilst saving the planet, what’s the point?” she asked.

“Protest should always have a sense of joy in it because what we are protesting about is saving this extraordinary home of ours and also celebrating the passion and inspiring energy of this young generation.

“These are young people who have finally said to my generation ‘I’m so sorry but you have failed us’.

“We all feel dreadful about that. My feeling is I feel massively inspired by this young generation and want to stand next to them.”

She said climate change is “the most pressing and urgent problem of our time, in the history of the human race”.

Shortly after Dame Emma’s address, a team of police officers encircled the boat and told bystanders there was an ordinance to clear the area.

Officers later cleared the centre of Oxford Circus of protesters and began dismantling the pink ship.

Specialist officers wearing helmets and harnesses took down the mast and could be seen working on top of the boat.

The "Tell the Truth" boat was towed out of the centre of Oxford Circus about an hour later.

A truck was reversed into the junction and the boat turned on its frame in order to be attached to it.

Police established a wide cordon around the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street with crowds of people watching the operation.

Earlier, on Friday, about 20 activists, most of them under 17, had staged a brief demonstration on roads near Heathrow Airport.

Standing close to a tunnel which leads to terminals two and three, they unfurled a black banner with the message: “Are we the last generation?”

Several police officers watched over group before an XR spokesman announced before midday there were no further plans to cause disruption at the airport.

All roads remained open during the demonstration, which is part of a two-week campaign that began in central London on Monday.

Heathrow previously said it was “working with authorities” to remain business as usual.

Waterloo Bridge has now been blocked by demonstrators for five days despite the Metropolitan Police making more than 680 arrests.

Ten people had been charged by the force by Thursday night and three others arrested by British Transport Police were remanded in custody after they appeared in court accused of obstructing trains at Canary Wharf.

The Met said: “The protesters are using tactics of lying on the ground when approached. This means that it takes at least four officers to remove one person to ensure their safety which is resource intensive.”

Routes are also blocked around Parliament Square and Marble Arch, and Home Secretary Sajid Javid has urged police to use the “full force of the law”.

“I totally condemn any protesters who are stepping outside the boundaries of the law,” Mr Javid said.

“They have no right to cause misery for the millions of people who are trying to lead their daily lives.”

Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, told BBC Breakfast the protests were “very, very difficult” to handle and could cost “millions”.

He said: “The sufferers will be the communities in the local boroughs where officers are being taken from the community areas and the funding and money has to be found to deal with what we are doing.”

XR has pledged to continue causing disruption until its demands are met.

They want the Government to declare a climate emergency and take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
