The Vampire Diaries' Claire Holt details Cannes Film Festival travel chaos as 'deranged' Texas thunderstorm grounds her flight


The Vampire Diaries star, 35, was due to be flying to France to join A-list Hollywood stars at the annual 12-day-long film extravaganza, but was left unable to fly.

She wrote in a snippet of her newsletter on Instagram: 'I'm supposed to be en route to Cannes right now, but after sitting on the tarmac for two hours thanks to an absolutely deranged thunderstorm, we were booted off the plane and I'm back in my Austin hotel room. She took to her Instagram Stories on Friday to reveal that her flight from Austin was grounded after two hours waiting on board the plane amid the shocking storms 'I'll admit that my lip did quiver *slightly* as I unbuckled my seatbelt and dragged my ass back up the jet bridge, but then I reminded myself that there are worse things in life than being stuck in a cool city with a good book, a bath and a crispy glass of Pinot Grigio.'
