Hugo Weaving success x 2 by accident! haha
Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 9:25 am
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.
Photo (its a little hard to see but he signed the short version) http://karissawebster.fotopic.net/p56635459.html
Folder: (And the long version lol) http://karissawebster.fotopic.net/p56635460.html
All in all a great night, to get one of rare ones IP is a nice feeling

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! 
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 we who loved and appreciated their work in that particular production! 
It's a cool photo, by the way - good one! 
Now you have two autographs from him, congrats!!
