Jared Leto @ Unesco Gala 2012

Normally the Unesco Gala in Dusseldorf is really good to meet some stars. This year was a bit different. The amount of stars was very low, but the highlight for me this year was Jared Leto, known as leadsinger of "30 Seconds To Mars". Jared is also known as an actor in movies such as "Requiem For A Dream", "Alexander" and "Panic Room". It was hard work, but in the end I was lucky enough to get a picture with him. Not bad, compared to fellow collector Tom who only was able to get Roberto Blanco. Sorry Tom... I couldn;t help myself :-)

 

FACTS 2012

Like every year, this year I also attended the FACTS convention in Ghent, Belgium. I believe this is one of the largest movie conventions of Europe and it is always a pleasure to be there!

 

This year I was able to meet James Callis, who I wanted to meet for years. He is Gaius Baltar from

the new Battlestar Galactica TV-show. He is one of the few I hadn't met yet from that show and he is also my favourite character. He signed my Battlestar Galactica poster and posed for a photo.

Ringcon 2012: The Day After

Because I was cruising the Mediterranean I missed the Ringcon in Germany completely. Because of this I decided to go to the Maritim Hotel Bonn one day later to see if people would check out. During this morning I managed to meet two "Game Of Thrones" guests.

 

Jason Momoa is known for his parts in TV-series like "Game Of Thrones" and "Stargate Atlantis", but is also known for playing Conan in the new "Conan The Barbarian" movie. When I met him he was friendly enough to pose for a photo.

The Expendables 2 - After Party @ Hippodrome

When the premiere for "The Expendables 2" was finished, an after-party for the movie was being held at the Hippodrome Casino not far from the Empire Theatre. I found the location of the after-party by accident, but I was able to add two more pictures with celebrities to my collection. 

 Michelle Rodriguez ("Avatar", "S.W.A.T.", "World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles" and "The Fast & Furious" franchise) was in London, because she is filming Fast & Furious 6 in the U.K. at the moment. Nice of her to atted the party. When I saw her walking towards the venue I asked her for a picture and she was happy to do it.

Scott Adkins is , except for "The Expendables 2"also starring in action movies like "Undisputed 2". I met him at the premiere a few hours before, but I was able to get a better picture with him this time.

Well, it is certainly not my best picture ever, but as Christian is not that keen on taking pictures I shouldn't complain.  

Chirstopher Nolan, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard also signed my poster of "The Dark Knight Rises" which was previously signed by Gary Oldman. At the premiere Noomi Rapace and Guy Ritchie were guests. Noomi Rapace signed my poster of "Prometheus" and Guy Ritchie signed my poster of "Rock'NRolla" and thanks to Roy "Sherlock Holmes 2".
