deauville - episode 2

On Friday Mystery Guest and I went back to Deauville with 2 friends to see one of his favorite movie stars, Christian Slater.

We got there early to get a good spot but the main good spots were already taken so we stood on the side barrier. Just when the stars (Christian Slater and Emilio Estevez) came out all the photographers that were doing the photocall in a different room marched over and stood right in front of us! Grrr!! We couldn't see anything! The shot I have here of Emilio Estevez was taken by holding the camera over my head and guessing!










As you can imagine we were royally pissed so during the press conference we went around the back to where the cars would pull up in one last effort to actually see them and maybe get an autograph. As luck would have it they were very much in the signing mood and not just blowing off their fans :-)










So as you can see we got a great shot of Christian Slater (and Mystery Guest's ear!) and you should have seen the look of joy on his face when he signed his dvd and shook his hand saying "cheers mate" :-)












"I shook his hand! I'm never washing it again!" :-)
