29-yeasr-old Carl Kelly of Great Britain has done the impossible. He bluffed his way onto the set of the new Iron Man movie and even got to act in a scene with Gwyneth Paltrow! He had wandered onto the set of Iron Man while staying at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and bluffed his way past a security guard. He soon found himself sitting next to Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. He confided to his fellow extras that he was an imposter, but they agreed to keep quiet, and after three hours a make up artist began touching up his features and filming began. He was so close to the action that he is clearly visible in promotional photos being used to publicize the film. And after seven hours of being an extra, the film's director asked him to act with Gweneth Paltrow. Kelly said, "She would put her hand on my shoulder and I was to guide her past the table. Some 38 takes later, I think they were getting pretty fed up with me, but that's what happens when you let an untrained nobody into your film." After spending the day filming, Kelly, missed his plane and had to pay for another flight. He said, "I only found out I was still in the film when I was looking at the website. At least my friends now believe me." (Ananova)
