Like almost every trip in London, this time I was also able to meet some celebrities at their hotels. This time it was Claridge's Hotel in central London. Here I was able to meet the following people;

The friendly actor was also willing to pose for a picture.

Also Tim Burton signed my poster of "Dark Shadows" and Helena Bonham Carter signed my Filmcell of "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" and the DVD-cover of "Planet Of The Apes".

He was also willing to pose for another picture. Nice guy!

Richard Griffiths, who normally isn't so nice, was indeed quite friendly this time. He decided he would sign my poster of "Sleepy Hollow". Naturally no picture with him :-(
