With every large film festival, it’s always a common sight to see celebrities taking some time to taking pictures and giving out autographs.
And when it comes to autographs, we all know people take it seriously. Especially those crazed “professional” autograph collectors.
So, during the 2008 Toronto Film Festival, a survey was taken to find out who were the best and worst celeb autograph signers.
The contributors were fans, photographers, festival volunteers and even the professional autograph seekers.
And, topping off the list of best signers is Benicio Del Toro. It states, “The Che star was almost everywhere during his few days in Toronto - late nights and early mornings. But Del Toro never refused to sign. When one autograph collector mentioned that Benicio did 21 photos in a row at one stop for him - he was crowned our TIFF ‘08 signing champ.”
Also on the best list was Rose McGowan, Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning and Zac Efron who “signed up a storm at his premiere.”
As for the list of the worst, Jimmy Page came in on top. “Disappointing for many, considering Page was the one autograph everybody wanted. Jimmy was at least nice and did explain to collectors - from the moment he landed in Toronto that he ‘was not doing the autograph thing anymore. Kind of finished with that.’ For his three days in Toronto - he basically stuck to his word and signed nothing. At least, almost nothing.”
Among the rest of the worst on the red carpet for not signing, are Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston, Queen Latifah, John Malkovich, and Kiera Knightley.
I say that’s just mean! The only reason these guys have careers is because they have fans! They better not forget their fans!
