Burt Reynolds makes rare public appearance at Tribeca
Robert De Niro, Burt Reynolds and Chevy Chase attend the screening of ‘Dog Years’
Los Angeles - Arab Today
Robert De Niro helped Burt Reynolds onto the red carpet for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his new movie Dog Years on Saturday night in New York. It was a rare appearance for the 81-year old actor, who at times struggled to walk.
Reynolds was given a chair on the red carpet, so that he could speak to a limited number of press outlets about the film.
He was overjoyed at the turnout.
“Great to see Mr. De Niro, who I love, and ... you know, all the people that I know,” Reynolds said. “It’s very sweet.”
In the film, which is still shopping for distribution, Reynolds portrays an ageing movie star who realises his best days are behind him. The actor sees similarities in the character with his own life.
Reynolds laughed at the obvious parallel with his own life, though he said, “I guess I’m doing all right. I think because it’s a hell of a turnout.”
Written and directed by Adam Rifkin, the film also stars Modern Family’s Ariel Winter, Chevy Chase and Nikki Blonsky.
Reynolds joked about working with younger co-stars.
“You don’t learn from young actors,” Reynolds said. “You just tell them how to behave.”

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
