I was fortunate enough to attend the red carpet premiere of Mandela, which is a movie about Nelson Mandela's life, on Thursday night with Rachel and Jess. Basically, we arrived and waited outside the theater in Leicester Square to watch celebs arrive on the red carpet. We didn't know very many people on the red carpet since this movie is an independent one, but we did get to talk to rapper, Eve who was attending the premiere. And, after waiting outside for over 2 hours, we finally were able to see Prince William and Kate Middleton attend the event. They simply came out of their car, and glided down the red carpet before walking inside. Prince William even gave a few waves. I was starstruck, and Jess and I couldn't help freaking out!! We stayed outside for a few more minutes just to watch them from inside. Haha, I know we are very creepy!! The weirdest coincidence ever, though, was when we got back to Regent's, we saw that Nelson Mandela had passed away. It was very sudden and happened while we were at the premiere. Also, his daughter was at the premiere that night, and I was just thinking I bet they had to stop the movie to tell her. It was just so odd that we had stalked out a movie premiere for Nelson Mandela's autobiography, and he just so happened to pass away that night. Jess, Rachel, and I couldn't believe it. However, we enjoyed the premiere, and we hope to see the movie in the U.S. when it comes out next November.
