Dry cleaner surprised by film star customer

Dry cleaner surprised by film star customer

A DRY cleaner has told of his surprise when American film star Kirsten Dunst came in with some laundry.

Andy Andreou, who runs Lilly Dry Clean & Ironing Service in New Street, Henley, didn’t recognise the 42-year-old actress at first.

He said: “A young lady came in and I said to her, ‘You look just like Kirsten Dunst’ and she goes to me, ‘I am Kirsten Dunst’. I said,‘Oh wow, come in’ and we just started chatting. I said to her, ‘I love your films’. I have been a fan from the very beginning with films like Interview with the Vampire.

“I was growing up then and she was a little kid in that film. She was so comfortable and so easy to talk to. She was super-nice. She’s a really lovely, friendly person.”

The Spider-Man actress was in the area with her husband, Breaking Bad actor Jesse Plemons, who was reportedly shooting for a film, and had come in with some dresses to clean.

Mr Andreou said: “She left her dry cleaning and someone collected it a few days later. It was probably someone who was working on the film.”

He said he had served other famous customers, including two former prime ministers.

“There’s a lot of famous people in Henley,” said Mr Andreou. “We see loads of famous people but the difference is I am a fan of Kirsten Dunst.

“If I have a famous customer and I tell someone they might say, ‘Who’s that?’ but everyone knows who she is.”
