Pedro Pascal stuns economy passengers by jetting to France on a budget flight after 'queuing like a normal person' ahead of the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Eddington
It's not every day you share an economy flight with a Hollywood star, but that's exactly what happened to a group of France bound passengers on Thursday. The hugely popular actor left his fellow travellers stunned with an unlikely appearance in coach as he flew to the French Riviera for the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Pascal, 50 - who is currently starring in the second series of post-apocalyptic drama The Last Of Us - was making the trip for the official premiere of his latest film, Eddington. But he eschewed the private jets and luxury first class treatment afforded many A-list stars, opting instead to hunker down in economy class - much to the astonishment of those on the same flight. Video footage shared across X showed the actor 'queuing like a normal person' at a crowded terminal gate as he prepared to board his flight.

He was later seen stowing his designer hand-luggage in an overhead compartment before settling into one of the plane's cramped coach seats. Pascal was even seen mingling with airline stewards after rising from his seat to stretch his legs in one of the carriage's narrow aisles. Following their arrival in the south-of-France, the actor was forced to return to the plane after apparently leaving his mobile phone on board. Playing his unexpected appearance for laughs, one traveller - also bound for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Eddington - pretended the actor had followed him across the Atlantic before turning up at the same event. Commenting on the post, one X user wrote: 'All jokes aside, the fact he flew economy makes me love him even more.' A second added: 'That's awesome.' While a third joked: 'Wow, the security at Cannes even spotted him on their huge oversized security monitors. Why didn't they grab him?' Hours later, the premiere of indie director Ari Aster's latest film, Eddington, attracted a particularly glitzy crowd to the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet, with Pascal, Joaquin Phoenix and Angelina Jolie in attendance. He was seen stowing his designer hand-luggage in an overhead compartment before settling into one of the plane's cramped coach seats Eddington pits Pascal, who plays a small-town mayor, against Phoenix's downbeat sheriff in an election campaign that kicks off as tensions over COVID-19 mask policies and the Black Lives Matter protests were both reaching their apex in 2020. Industry publication IndieWire gave the film set in the U.S. state of New Mexico top marks, calling it the "first truly modern American Western" while the BBC said the "deranged," star-studded thriller would leave audiences breathless. Austin Butler, who plays a new-age guru, and Emma Stone, who plays Phoenix's wife, were also in Cannes for the film's premiere on Friday, as were Phoenix's partner, Rooney Mara, and actor Harris Dickinson, who is in Cannes to promote his directorial debut Urchin. Like Aster's three other features, Eddington will be released by independent distributor A24 and is set to hit theatres in the United States on July 18. The new film marks the U.S. director's second time working with Phoenix after 2023's Beau Is Afraid. He made his name as the maker of elevated horror films Hereditary and Midsommar.

A$AP Rocky, Spike Lee, and Denzel Washington Are the Most Delightful Trio at Cannes
The only thing better than a notable A-lister hitting the red carpet at the annual Cannes Film Festival? Three A-listers hitting the red carpet together. Earlier today in France, the cast and crew of Spike Lee's new film, Highest 2 Lowest, attended their photo call ahead of the movie's grand premiere—including lead stars A$AP Rocky and Denzel Washington. Uniting for a (pretty epic) photo op, Lee, Rocky, and Washington totally stole the show. We're only halfway through the festival, but we've already dubbed them the most delightful Cannes trio of 2025. Sue us! For starters, their outfits were coordinated to perfection. Ever the modern-day dandy (he wasn't a Vogue cover star and Met Gala co-chair for nothing), Rocky looked slick in a white single-breasted suit by Miu Miu, a black shirt, and leather loafers. On each side of him, Lee and Washington complemented his black-and-white color scheme—Washington in a black tee and pants, Lee in a white tee and trousers. The coordination? An icons-only move.

‘World's most comfortable loafer' with ‘superior shock absorption' & classic Brit design is selling for £550 a pair
A TOP shoe brand popular with A-list stars has created the world's most comfortable loafer – worth £550 a pair. The 'Harley loafer' was designed by iconic British footwear firm Harrys London, which says the boot reduces pressure on muscles and bones by as much as 400 per cent. 2 The new shoe, unveiled today in London, took three years to design and was created in collaboration with one of the capital's top podiatrists. British men take an average of between 5,000 and 10,000 steps a day - causing natural wear and tear on the feet. Putting too much weight on the feet is even considered a common cause of bone, joint and muscle-related injuries. The new shoe uses a brand-new gel called Technogel to offer maximum comfort to wearers while still staying trendy. The loafer was put through its paces by foot expert Ron McCulloch, who said: 'The key thing about the Harley shoe is that it offers significantly more additional shock absorption and stability compared to other types of shoe on the market.' 'The shoe could potentially be very valuable for people who suffer from foot or heel pain and or are likely to develop either as a consequence of their foot structures.' James Moore, Founder of the Marylebone Health Group, which aided the design, added: 'We've applied the latest in biomechanics and sports science to create footwear that doesn't just look exceptional but actively enhances the way people move and feel." Harrys London counts A-listers including Jason Isaacs, Sam Claflin, Donald Glover and Sam Fender among their list of clients. The firm's boss Sean Dixon said: 'The brand has sold over 100,000 pairs of loafers to in-the-know Londoners for nearly 25 years and has built up a loyal A-list and discerning clientele. 'The Harley was the natural step for us – responding to customer demand for comfort but with no compromise on style.'
