Peter Sallis might claim that Wallace & Gromit don’t need Hollywood to succeed, but the two stars of the Oscar winning films had clearly been enjoying the glamour of LA when they were photographed leaving one of the award parties in the early hours of the morning.
Though not up for an award this year, the two friends had been mingling with the stars and as Gromit flirted with Nichole Kidman, Wallace was overheard explaining the mystery of Lancashire hotpot to Denzel Washington.
Later, leaving the party through a back door, the two friends were embarrassed to find themselves caught in the open, with photographers between them and their car. The notoriously reclusive stars ran through the crowd and as Gromit went to the driver’s door Wallace was heard to shout ‘Have you got the car keys, lad?’
In what followed, Wallace grew increasingly desperate as they tried to get into the car. Surrounded by photographers, he held up his hands and was seen to gulp as he wiggled his fingers in panic. ‘Ooh, I don’t like the looks of this, Gromit, old fellow,’ he shouted. ‘Never any cheese around when we need some. Could do with some smelly Vieux Boulogne to chase these rascals off.’ But by then, Gromit had the door open and they were soon speeding off into the LA night, leaving a trail of cream crackers behind them.
