The popular actor made a rare red carpet appearance with family members at the London extravaganza, which runs from January 9 to March 2. He was introduced to the works of the American spiritual guru Andrew Cohen and Enlightenment movement by actor pal Linus Roache - the son of Coronation Street actor William Roache - with Jerome's life changing almost overnight.
Jerome was fascinated by Cohen’s spiritual teachings, essentially a reworking of Hindu mysticism and Tibetan Buddhism dressed up for Western consumption, and at the height of his fame fled to Rishikesh in India on a two-week retreat. On his return to Britain in 1996 he threw everything in with Cohen’s sect, abandoning his career and moving into a commune in North London with a group of fellow believers, including his then girlfriend, Anna Jacobs.
