Unesco Gala 2011

Every year the Unesco organisation have a gala in Dusseldorf. This year was the 20th time the gala was being held. The gala is always attended by a lot of celebrities. This year was no different and I was able to meet the following people;

Clive Owen (King Arthur, Shoot 'M Up, Sin City) is British actor who is hugely popular in Hollywood at the moment due to his leading roles in a lot of blockbusters. He signed my Sin City filmcell and posed for a photo.
Olivier Martinez, a French actor who had starring roles in several Hollywood movies like S.W.A.T., Taking Lives and Unfaithful, wasn't really in the mood to meet fans but he did sign my S.W.A.T. poster and posed for a picture though.

Academy Award winning actor Forest Whitaker (The Last King Of Scotland, Vantage Point, Platoon) attended the gala for the second time. This year he signed my poster of Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai and posed for a picture.

Melanie C, former member of the Spice Girls posed for a picture.

Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan, known for Bollywood movies like Ra.One posed for a picture. Not that I knew who he was, but hundreds of extremely loud screaming girls pointed out the fact how important he is for them and Bollywood.

Jet Li, the Chinese action-star known for his parts in Romeo Must Die, Lethal Weapon 4 and Kiss Of The Dragon, signed my poster of The One. (Picture below is from Venice, 2011)

Kathleen Turner (The War Of The Roses, Romancing The Stone) signed my poster of Romancing The Stone just before she fell flat on her face on the red carpet. (Picture below is from Gent, 2007)
