The actor passed away on Thursday, according to his talent agency, Markham Froggatt & Irwin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great sadness that we can confirm Patrick Godfrey passed away last night,\u201d the statement began. \u201cHe died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Paddy was an exceptionally talented actor and a remarkable individual, and we will miss him greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cause of death has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Godfrey was best known for the role of Leonardo da Vinci in the 1998\u00a0rom-com, alongside Barrymore and Dougray Scott, Anjelica Huston, Megan Dodds, Melanie Lynskey, Timothy West and Judy Parfitt.<\/p>\n

.The movie was a spin on the tale of Cinderella.<\/p>\n

Godfrey first broke into the entertainment business in 1956 after joining BBC\u2019s Radio Drama Company.<\/p>\n

The late star then made his film debut in the television production of 1972\u2019s \u201cMiss Julie,\u201d alongside Helen Mirren, Donal McCann and Heather Canning.<\/p>\n

Godfrey\u2019s career spanned decades, also starring in \u201cClockwise\u201d in 1986, \u201cThe Remains of the Day\u201d (1993), 2002\u2019s \u201cThe Count of Monte Cristo\u201d and \u201cLes Mis\u00e9rables\u201d in 2012.<\/p>\n

He also appeared in several television series, including \u201cDoc Martin,\u201d \u201cFallen Angel,\u201d \u201cTrial & Retribution,\u201d \u201cShades,\u201d \u201cThe Bill,\u201d \u201cScreen Two,\u201d and more. <\/p>\n

Godfrey last voiced the part of Jim in the 2024 short \u201cRejoyce!\u201d <\/p>\n

His final television show appearance was on the BBC medical drama \u201cCasualty\u201d in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In 2023, in honor of the 25th anniversary of \u201cEver After,\u201d Barrymore reflected on how the project changed her perspective on life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in my early 20s and then I was trying to start a company and wanted to tell stories and make films and that particular messaging that you can rescue yourself and you don\u2019t have to wait to be rescued is definitely the thing that set me up best in my life,\u201d she told Entertainment Tonight at the time about her takeaway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who I would be, honestly, without it. It changed the way I saw the world,\u201d Barrymore admitted.<\/p>\n
