Why aren't Harold and
Brian Rachel in Cannes?
It's everything she dreamed of: the big stars, the glamour, the opportunity to set up a stall to flog her remaining 40 jars of jam
Even Fergie's there. She's probably easy to deal with, and undemanding.
We know what Hazza's like with his security stuff here so I doubt he and Smeg are any different when it comes to the really huge A-List events. Lots of 'we want this and we expect that'. And TBH what do they bring to the occasion? Other than trading off a title, a shedload of entitlement and a load of hassle.
If you were an A-lister, a big one like Tom Cruise, who would you rather be photographed with? What's more prestigious for your personal 'brand'?
A pic with a gurning Haz, possibly with his hand dangerously close to your chest. And Smeg, rictus grin in place, trying to grab your Oscar? After which you may well receive some kind of condiment, unidentifiable because the label fell off, with instructions to promote it on your Instagram. Or Harkle PR about you being Hazza's
second third fourth Dad. Oh, and BTW can we borrow your jet? For free?
Or would you rather have one shaking hands with the King/PPoW at a film premiere or the BAFTAs?
Five years ago you might be happy with either. Now, not so much. Their currency is devaluing.
