ZELDA, THE LEGEND BEGINS

CELEBRITY CAMOUFLAGE

Yesterday I have been invited to the BAFTA premiere of the last Scorsese film Hugo in Leicester Square by a friend who starred in it.

For the ones of you who are not familiar with London, Leicester Square is one of the most crowded places in this town, especially when it's about the film industry. Here you have the most of the European premieres of the biggest blockbusters of the year, red carpets, people cueing for 5 hours just to take a snap shot of a celebrity and Artists drawing caricatures of the most respected Actors.

After the film my friend and I go to a coffee shop close by: a place I've never been into because it's too crowded with tourists, for it is right on the red carpet and it serves decent meals at a very cheap price.

I finish my latte and we prepare to go, when I see at a table, talking to someone...

- Stop staring at her, it's rude! - my friend says.
- Isn't she...?

Judi Dench, which I mostly know and respect for her performance as M in 007.

- How come she's... in this place?
- She chose to have a low profile meeting for not being bothered by people.
- And that's why she is in the Bat Cave of the Worldwide film fundamentalists travelling to London?

She really must have learnt something about secrecy from her James Bond films...
