DOUGRAY'S TEASER ON HIS VISA
PASSPORT PHOTOS WITH A CHEEKY MESSAGE
Exclusive by Billy Paterson

MISSION Impossible star Dougray Scott doesn't look like a Hollywood hero in his latest set of pictures. But the handsome Scot's funny faces are all for a good cause - the foreign aid children's charity, UNICEF.

Dougray was one of nearly 200 celebs who agreed to passport pictures with a difference to raise funds for Growing Up Alone, a project which helps children around the world who grow up without a family through poverty, war, or disease.

Photo booths were erected in some of the world's most luxurious hotels to ensure a passing trade in celebrities.

Each set of images, by photographer Alistair Morrison, is accompanied by a message from the celebrity.

Alistair said: "Dougray was taken in the Dorchester Hotel in London. He was very self-effacing and keen not to have any 'pretty boy' pictures, but just to have some fun.

"He said his message was something that his father used to say to him, which was nice."

The money will be raised through Reflect 2000 exhibitions at galleries and theatres throughout the country

A UNICEF spokesman said: "We would certainly hope to bring Reflect 2000 to Scotland at some point this year."

As for that valued piece of homespun philosophy from his dad to Dougray:

"Son, keep it in your troosers."
