Celebrities @ Covent Garden Hotel

During my trip to London I went to the Covent Garden Hotel several times trying to spot some celebrities. This time I was lucky enough to spot some celebrities at this prestigious hotel.

The Academy Award nominee Danny De Vito is mostly known for his roles in "Romancing The Stone", "Mars Attacks!", "Twins" and off course "Batman Returns" in which he plays Batman's nemisis The Penguin. For me signed the DVD-covers of "Mars Attacks!" and "Solitary Man" and the friendly actor posed for a picture.

Below is a clip from "Batman Returns" in which Danny De Vito plays The Penguin.

Ethan Coen, who is one of the two famous Coen Brothers, also walked into the Covent Garden Hotel. Both he and Joel are not easy going people with signing and posing for pictures. Luckily Ethan is slightly more friendly than his brothers, so he was willing to pose for a picture. Together with his brother he made instant classics like "The Big Lebowski", "Fargo", "No Country For Old Men" and the recently released "True Grit".
Amy Adams, who is three time Academy Award nominee already, checked into the Covent Garden Hotel. When she arrived she signed my DVD-covers of "Julie & Julia", "Doubt" and "Enchanted" and was more than willing to pose for nice picture with me.
Gabriel Byrne, who plays main parts in movies like "The Usual Suspects", "End Of Days", "Stigmata", "Miller's Crossing" and he is also the main guy in the new HBO-series "In Treatment". When we saw him at the hotel he signed my DVD-cover of "Spider" and posed for a picture.

Below is a scene from End Of Days in which Gabriel Byrne plays Satan.

Sandra Bernard, the American funny girl, is mostly known for her stand-up performances. She is also known for her part in the Bruce Willis movie "Hudson Hawk". When we saw her coming back from lunch she signed my DVD-cover of "Hudson Hawk" and posed for a picture in the rain.
Rhea Perlman, the wife of Danny De Vito is mostly known for her part in "Cheers" is was recently seen in the HBO-series "Hung". She was, just as her husband, willing to pose for a picture.
When he checked out, Danny De Vito was again more than willing to pose for a picture. I was very happy to get a picture with him a day before, but I thought it would be fun to make another one with him while he looked very different.
Also, Amy Adams, was willing to make another picture with me. And this time, luckily, without sunglasses.
Ruth Wilson, who is mostly known for her part in the recently released television series "The Prisoner" and "Luther" was willing to pose for a picture when she left the hotel.
Terry Gilliam, the Academy Award nominee, is a director with a couple of strange movies on his CV, like "12 Monkeys", "Tideland", "Brazil" and recently "The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus". He signed the DVD-cover of "The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus" for me and posed, like every time I've met him, for a picture.
