Thanks guys! :D

Yeah Hugo i have been told is kinda fickel when it comes to signing certain things. A friend of mine was lucky enough to go to the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King premier in NZ several years ago and she had a Matrix photo for Hugo to sign and he wouldnt.

But i guess since it was just me and my 2 friends asking for autographs he didnt mind so much.

I will update with some photos my friend took when i see her tommorrow at University (first day back! :? :( )

Hi Karissa! ;-)

Congrats on your in person success! :mrgreen: Hugo was great in "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix"! {thumb2} Well, at least you didn't have a "Matrix" photo for him to sign! :lol: I guess most of these celebrities either think you're going to sell the autograph if you have a high profile film pic, or they're just tired of signing the same item - either way, they should just remember it's [i]we[/i] who loved and appreciated their work in that particular production! {up} It's a cool photo, by the way - good one! :) Now you have two autographs from him, congrats!! :D

Good luck Karissa!

Whoa! Brilliant success! Hugo Weaving is awesome in all the movies he does. He is quite cool. Didn't really know he was a pain of a signer haha. I guess he is like one of those people who doesn't really like signing particular items. Nice success. I would really love to get him one day.

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Well some of you know that i was going to the premier of the Australian Film "Last Ride" last night. The movie stars famous Australian actor Hugo Weaving, of course famous for movies like Lord Of the Rings, V for Vendetta and the Matrix.

I went with 2 of my friends who love Hugo so i knew it was going to a fun night. We showed up an hour before the premier and there wasnt anyone there! no press nothing! haha. It wasnt until 25mins to go that press and other guests began to arrive. I think we saw natalie imbruglia leaving but we missed out on getting her autograph :(

With about 5mins to go all of a sudden Hugo showed up and the press went mad, the 3 of us scrambbled through the media pack until we got to the front. When he had finally done posing for pictures he came over to us. Now i dont remember what i said to Hugo but my friend tells me i said the following

"Can you please sign my photo"
Hugo groaned at the sight of the Lord of the rings pic i had

He started signing the photo holder i was using to lean on.

I said " Can you please sign my actual photo?"
Hugo "does it matter?"
Me: "Ah yeah it does i had planned on framing it"
Hugo "oh all right then"

LOL what i love is we were the only people there asking for autographs so Hugo was more willing to sign for us.

Anyways here are the autographs i got on the photo and my folder signed as well.
