Baldies Rocking the Cannes Film Festival

Seems like everyone in the entire world has been following what’s been going on at the Cannes Film Festival the past couple of weeks.   What you see on Entertainment Tonight or read on Perez Hilton’s blog (which by the way I love) is not necessarily the interesting stuff that has been happening.  I don’t know about you, but I have heard just about enough of who Lindsey Lohan has been kissing, or Angelina Jolie’s babies.

The interesting goings on have nothing to do with A listers (or has beens), its the everyday regular people that have me all excited.  Take Chris for example (he is the one pictured above).  Chris is a film student from Holland, and has come to the festival to hang out, and see some good films.  The man did not score tickets to any major screenings before coming to Cannes.  He just hung out in front of the pavilions and talked to people.  His unusual look, and his ability to “schmooze” helped him to score tickets to a lot of major events.

Personally, I think its his very interesting look (tall and bald) and great confidence that has helped him with getting into the most difficult of screenings.

Chris, if you are reading this – let me know what you thought of the movie Blindness.  I can’t wait until it comes to Canada.
