Breaking Baz @ Cannes: Harris Dickinson Shows Off John Lennon Mop Hairstyle At ‘Eddington’ Afterparty & Benicio Del Toro Reveals Why Robert De Niro Cut His Lines On Tony Scott’s ‘The Fan’


Baz Bamigboye hit more parties on Day 5 at Cannes than he can remember, but here's the dish on ones attended by Robert De Niro, Harris Dickinson and others.

Earlier, I was over at Fred L’Ecailler’s seafood restaurant, where Charles Finch and the culture magazine A Rabbit’s Foot hosted a dinner honoring Benicio Del Toro, the star of Focus Features’ The Phoenician Scheme directed, of course, by Wes Anderson. I suddenly felt nauseous but regained my equilibrium after Tom Hooper explained that he’s using live actors in his film Photograph 51, with Natalie Portman portraying DNA pioneer Rosalind Franklin. The United bash was a smart idea, and I liked seeing Ben Roberts from the BFI, Jane Millichip from BAFTA, Eva Yates from BBCFilm and Ollie Madden from Film4 metaphorically link arms.
