“Will & Grace” star Eric McCormack made an appearance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 34th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood on March 15. While fans were surely impressed by his perfect bowtie and incredibly sleek tux, they likely couldn’t miss his gray hair. Indeed, although the popular actor has been sporting a salt-and-pepper style for a little while, he’s now fully transformed into a silver fox.
GettyMcCormack attended the event with his girlfriend, Sue Conder, and the pair looked lovely as they stopped to pose for the cameras. Conder’s long, black hair was a striking contrast to McCormack’s short, silver ‘do.
McCormack also joined John’s husband, David Furnish, onstage to keep the event rolling, the auction buzzing and money coming in.
McCormack Helped the Event Raise an Amazing Amount of Money
GettyMcCormack, along with the other stars who attended the elite event, helped raise a truly impressive amount of money.
“While the Oscars is underway across town, spending a Sunday afternoon, evening, and all-nighter at the annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party has become a favorite tradition amongst the industry,” according to Vogue. “[T]he night raised a staggering $10.6 million.”
“Now in its 34th edition, the fun-filled event has raised over $125 million since its inception to support HIV prevention and treatment worldwide,” per Vogue.
John explained, “The Academy Awards Viewing Party reflects why we started this Foundation 34 years ago: to honor the friends we lost and advocate for the people still vulnerable.”
