There has been an announcement on our bus stop the whole week in big green letters, flashing on the screen: Via Balbi is closed, use an alternative route, please. Nothing out of the ordinary as such.
However, this time it is not roadworks but the Australian filmstar Nicole Kidman stopping the traffic. Kidman has been filming her latest movie, "Grace of Monaco", directed by Oliver Dahan, at Palazzo Reale on Via Balbi. One of the most famous rooms of the palace is being used in some scenes instead of the real palace of Monaco.
Kidman has been staying at Hotel Savoy and her admirers have spotted the actress going in and out of the hotel "in character" wearing a blue sweater, big sunglasses and hair styled like the late Grace of Monaco. She has gracefully stopped to wave to fans from a distance, reports the local paper, Il Secolo.
Tänään ajettiin maisematietä pitkin Ylläsjärvelle ja meidät pysäytettiin, koska siellä filmattiin elokuvaa ja piti ajaa varovasti ohi. No en sitten hoksannut kysyä mitä elokuvaa siellä tehtiin! Mutta ilmeisesti paikalla ei ollut ainakaan Nicole Kidman, koska on siellä teillä päin...
