The Merchant of Venice

It was the premiere for the 'Merchant of Venice' at leicester square last night, and I got to see Al Pacino! He’s not as short as everyone makes out to be, he’s pretty average (in height). Seeing the godfather in the flesh is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in London so far.

Unlike some actors, he’s really cool with the public, signing autographs, taking photographs etc. Before Al Pacino arrived, Chris asked me if I had ever heard a couple of hundred people shout ‘al’ before? I didn’t click at first (for some reason i thought he meant the letter 'L' ) but very soon I understood what he meant. Having to listen to 100’s of brits shouting ‘Al, Al, Al, Al’, was driving me mad, I felt quite sorry for the man. Saw a few other celebs but none worth mentioning here.
