Joe Alvarez in Cannes: Day 4

Joe's fourth day at Cannes and it finally marks a break in the gorgeous weather- today, it's been chucking it down. This news made me feel slightly better as I was beginning to get increasingly jealous of Joe's time in Cannes and the beautiful sunshine was not helping!

Last nights cinema on the beach appears to have been popular. The Cannes coastline was packed with deckchairs where people sat beneath the stars watching the film in a deluxe environment. There was also an amazing firework display in the night sky for the onlookers to enjoy.

Despite the rain, and being a bit tired from all the action, all is well. Another busy day, by 5pm Joe still hadn't had his breakfast and was rushing back to his accommodation to change into his tuxedo and back on the red carpet!

Joe has attended a press conference where Jackie Chan was being interviewed. He has today announced that he will be retiring from action movies after decades of pushing his body to the limit. His latest Hollywood outing, Chinese Zodiac, will be the 58 year olds last leading action role. Chan announced that the increasing amount of violence in action films was partly down to his decision.

As I write this, Joe is on the red carpet which is rocking to music by The Clash AND The Cure... he's a happy chap! He's just been shooting stars Robert de Niro, Jennifer Connelly and James Woods... Ben Stiller is on the way. So it's certainly another night of A-listers. Following this, Joe is off to the Valentino party for some more mingling, champagne, and canapes!
