SO as you know Cannes Film festival was a few weeks ago and
although we didn’t have a charter or guests on we did get to sit out at anchor
[BLEH] and watch as everyone else had celebrity parties. What fun I tell ya. Ha
ha, no but I thought id give you a little insight for all those people who
think its just famous people walking around at all times in Cannes.
Its really just chaos, Cannes is packed with tourists hoping
to see Leo [first name basis], then there are the paparazzi people swarming
every restaurant, pub or café. You will certainly know where a celeb is but
there is not a chance in hell you will see them over that crowd. Then all the
roads are closed so getting there
is a nightmare and even the trains will drive you mad [hang on, that’s normal
for French trains]. The crew who work on these huge yachts get a few celebs but
then again their boats are sooo big they never get into port so it’s a lot to
give up for saying you served Brad a glass of Perrier.
I wondered
around town for a bit trying to find a celeb or two to give the ‘Film Fest’ the
ol stamp – I’ve done it, but then I
was just too intimidated by the crowds and the wannabees. So we picked a cute
little café on the edge of the barriers and had a lovely bottle of rose and
watched as people continually failed to find those celebrity encounters or even
better those girls who dress up like models to be discovered and yet once past
the hussle and bussle they put on their slops and harrumphed home.
I did however manage to see ol Nicole Kidman as she strolled
past me to get to her tender. Little did she know I too was waiting for my
tender to fetch me and Kat [Chief STU] to take us back to our home [a super
duper yacht]. Minor details that I would be ironing all day or scrubbing the
loo where she would be dining on caviar and Crystal. I did manage to photo bomb
her as I lunged sideways to get into the shot [and get a better look myself].
So keep your eyes peeled folks – my 10 seconds of fame may still be coming!
So if your ever planning on spending your hard earned
savings on hitting the Cannes Film Festival, my advice would be spend it on
Rose and a Deck chair at the beach.
Life is just too damn short to spend wasted moments waiting for a
glimpse of Brangelina. After all you’re the lead role in your own little hit
show!
So till my next celebrity photo-bomb – By for now
Stu
