Premiere of Monuments Men

On 11 February 2014, I decided to go to Leicester Square to see the red carpet event for the premiere of the movie Monuments Men.

There were large crowds.

It is quite a glamorous affair with lights, billboards, big screens, cameras, etc.






I couldn't get very close to the Odean Theatre because there were barriers and just tons  of people.

So I stood along the side where the cars with the stars drive in. I watched as the cars drove by and even saw John Goodman in the passenger seat in the one car driving by.

George Clooney, one of the actors and the producer, arrived and he walked around signing autographs. He was about 2 metres away. It was dark and the one photo I took had someone blocking his face. It is amazing how people go crazy for celebrities.









I saw Matt Damon and Bill Murray from a distance.

Some people queue the whole day to see these celebrities. It seems London is a city of queuing. We've noticed a lot of queues - for hamburgers, clubs, sports games, etc.  There are many movie premieres in London, probably about two every second week. It was fun to go see what all the hype is about.
