Glasgow’s own Brad Pitt had to flee from fans after he was mistaken for the actor. Jonathan Lambie, 39, was in George Square, Glasgow, when some of the actor’s fans started taking photos of him. He said to UK newspaper Daily Record: “I got uncomfortable when folk began to stare at me, then started snapping me as I walked along. It was getting very embarrassing, so I turned around again and disappeared.” Lambie is a case officer for a financial firm in Glasgow but said he has been asked to open venues such as supermarkets in the past. He added: “Mind you, if Brad contacted me and said: ‘Let’s go out on the town together for a night for a giggle’ then I might be up for it.”

Hollywood beauty Penélope Cruz has obviously grown fond of Woody Allen while working on his upcoming movie The Bop Decameron. “Oh he’s so peculiar, such an interesting personality and so much fun to be around him,” said the 37-year-old on US morning TV show Live With Regis and Kelly today. “I always feel that I want to take notes of everything that he says because every sentence that comes out of that mouth is unforgettable and precious and he is really one of the most talented minds out there.” Cruz, who recently gained a star on the Hollywood hall of fame, added that the New York director’s famed ‘silent approach’ can be a little disconcerting. “It makes you wonder what he is thinking, you go home and wonder, was it that terrible? Was I that terrible?” Allen, 75, gave Cruz a pair of his iconic black-rimmed specs on set: “I loved the style of his glasses and he gave me his spare pair… and for me that was like a museum piece,” she added grinning.

She added to E! News: “I had to email an essay to my Shakespeare in Film teacher this morning. It was due today in class and he allowed me to miss class today. And then next week I have an in-class essay and two presentations, so that’s what I’ll be doing on my weekend.”
