The 2010 Cannes Film Festival kicked off yesterday with Russell Crowe’s Robin Hood. Also on hand for the festivities: Benicio del Toro, Salma Hayek, Helen Mirren, Brett Ratner, Cuba Gooding Jr., Natalie Imbruglia, and a terrifying jester creature. For all this and more, click through to our Cannes Opening Night slideshow.
“No, I do not hold my own umbrella! I’m Cuba Gooding Jr.!”
Everyone knows Cannes hasn’t really begun until Matt Laeur participates in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“Pretend like I said something funny.”
Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the red carpet …
Cuba’s still upset Snow Dogs never made it to Cannes.
Looking dapper, sir.
This is the first time we’re realizing Brett Ratner kind of looks like Jonah Hill.
Always nice to see the Muscles from Brussels.
Choose wisely.
“Delighted to be here!”
Salma’s still upset Fools Rush In never made it to Cannes.
Hackford, the envy of Cannes.
Russell Crowe, man of peace.
She could have really used some Tim Burton weirdo sunglasses right here.
The star treatment.
Ahh! What the hell is that?!
The contented smile of a man who knows he just made the best Robin Hood ever.
We’re assuming Crowe invited fellow Aussie Imbruglia?
