David Walliams<\/a>, best known for the BBC series Little Britain, has been removed from an upcoming project amid misconduct allegations, according to a new report. <\/p>\n

The 55-year-old comedian and actor was reportedly in talks to star in the movie The Road to Nevermore, but is no longer involved with the project, according to TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IMDb<\/a> notes that in the movie, \u201cPoet Clyde and his roommate, Champagne-Socialist Weston \u2014 are hipsters in search of themselves and more \u2018authenticity\u2019 in their existence \u2014 and they leave the safety of their home town \u2013 for adventures in the bigger world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gina Gershon, William Baldwin, and Til Schweiger are all attached to the project. <\/p>\n

David was dropped by his book publisher HarperCollins back in December 2025 amid allegations. Deadline<\/a> reported back then that he was \u201cthe subject of an internal investigation\u2026 regarding his alleged behavior towards junior female HarperCollins employees.\u201d <\/p>\n

Fast forward to September 2026, HarperCollins also confirmed that they were no longer representing David\u2018s backlist of books and his talent agency YMU was no longer representing him. <\/p>\n

Last year, David\u2018s spokesperson said, \u201cDavid has never been informed of any allegations raised against him by HarperCollins. He was not party to any investigation or given any opportunity to answer questions. David strongly denies that he has behaved inappropriately and is taking legal advice.\u201d<\/p>\n
