The 70th edition of San Sebastian International Film Festival started last Friday, September 16 at Kursaal Palace in Spain. This festival closes its doors this Saturday, September 24. On the eve of its closure, Diane Kruger landed in Spain on Friday, September 23. The 46-year-old German-American actress and model arrived at the hotel Maria Christina, sunglasses, black beret and with a long black coat that covered her sublime black leather dress. Barely out of the taxi, Diane Kruger offered herself a walkabout by lending herself to the game of selfies with the fans who came in large numbers despite the rain.
And the actress was not alone because her companion Norman Reedus was also invited to this festival. The actor, who also took selfies with the audience, arrived wearing a black coat and T-shirt and jeans. The couple thus made one of their rare public appearances.
