I was sitting at one of the pop-up venues (Pleasance courtyard) at the Edinburgh Festival on Friday night having one of my first evenings out for a couple of years. Up to our table comes this bald guy handing out leaflets (at this time of year, the vast majority of the people in Edinburgh's centre become a storage place for leaflets being handed out). I didn't take much notice, but thought I recognised the face and that's not unusual at Festival time either. Anyway watching TV last night and Conair was on. The face dinged - John Malkovich was handing out leafletting his own show.
Also on Friday night I saw Trudy Tyler (Sting's missus) and Simon Callow (4 Weddings +Funeral et al).
Nice to see a hollywood dude actually getting back to basics.
There have been lots of articles about him in the UK, he comes across as a nice guy.
