Restaurant staff in Cardiff gobsmacked as Hollywood superstar spotted having low-key meal – two nights in a row
DINERS at a Welsh eatery were left stunned after spotting a Hollywood A-Lister dining out two nights in a row.
The American screen star, 68, is clearly fond of Mowgli restaurant, in Cardiff’s Church Street, after coming back for seconds.
Staff even took the chance to pose for a picture with Poor Things star Willem Dafoe after he visited the Indian street food restaurant for the second time running.
The Spider-Man star wore all black and flashed a beaming smile as he stood next to the servers in their personalised uniforms.
The business’ Instagram page later uploaded the snap and told how staff were left “fangirling” over the celebrity spot, which comes as The English Patient actor films his new movie in the city.
While it is unclear what delicious dish Willem plumped for, it could have included anything from Treacle Tamarind Fries to a Mowgli Chip Butty.
The Wisconsin native’s foodie choices have now gone viral, with one fan commenting on X: “Wow!”
He has temporarily re-located to Wales for his new movie, thriller The Man In My Basement.
The film is an adaptation of the Walter Mosley book and currently being shot in Carmarthenshire.
Meanwhile, the star, whose real name is William, acquired the nickname Willem in high school as Willem is the Dutch version of his first name.
He was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor thanks to his part in At Eternity’s Gate.
In it, Willem played the iconic artist Vincent van Gogh in the movie that takes a look at his time in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise in France.
He is arguably best-known for playing The Green Goblin in Spider-Man.
