Richard Kiel at FanFest 2010 - London

elizabethtoni — 24 avril 2010 — London: 24 April 2010

The imposing County Hall in the shadow of the London Eye was the venue for a FanFest for spy and sci-fi film fans with an emphasis on the Bond-film series. T

he building houses the London Film Museum so attendees could wander around there too. Inside the FanFest there were plenty of stars from the long line of 007 films available for paid signing and posing. I was fortunate to have a press pass today so a big thanks to PR for that. I got there early so could spend some time getting shots before the place filled up. I was lucky to capture a chat between my Leicester Square Television colleague and Jaws himself, Richard Kiel.

Richard was charming and chatted about his new film and book about the man after whom Muhammad Ali was given his birth name - Cassius Marcellus Clay. As we all know Ali changed his name, but this film reveals that the original Cassius Clay was a tireless worker in the cause of freedom from slavery. A fascinating and most unexpected story from gentle giant Richard.
