Most of us can pop to the cinema whenever we please, but for celebs it can be a bit of a hassle.
Enter Jude Law, who decided to disguise himself in a hoodie and head to Bath’s Odeon cinema. All good, except that his outfit alarmed the cinema’s security, who then asked cinema attendant Connor Walter to keep a close eye on him.
This set in motion a budding bromance, because once Connor recognised the actor he arranged an undercover photo and slipped a hand-written note in the actor’s pocket.
The photo:
Great thing about that hoodie – offers anonymity and covers up whatever the hell he has going on with his hair in that photo up top.
The BBC with more:
Mr Walter said the actor had come to the cinema to watch Detroit and was hoping to remain under the radar.
He said: “I was working as the ticket tearer stood at the bottom of the stairs, and my manager told me to keep an eye on a man acting suspiciously with his hood up in the main foyer.
“The man spent a good 10 minutes just standing around on the phone, then he came and bought a ticket from one of my colleagues and my colleague who served him the ticket did not recognise him, nobody did.
“Then he came to the bottom of the stairs and I tore his ticket, I looked at his eyes and recognised him, then he said ‘thanks’ and I just knew it was him within an instant.”
After the movie finished Connor asked Jude for the photo, and also gave him a “kind note praising his work over the years”, which he slipped in his back pocket.
Jude beat a hasty retreat, but here’s the happy ending. Connor received this email from Jude half an hour later:
No word on when the two will meet again and move into a flat together, but it can only be a matter of time now.
