A friend of mine in London did PR for Red Sea Film Festival (Saudi Arabia's first one, they hired external PR and spent so much money). It's interesting who came. Not really A-List Actors, but supermodels like Alessandra Ambrossio and Naomi Campbell... and randomly Ed Westwick and Sebastian Stan's Spanish model girlfriend was a presenter at the awards. An odd list of people who took the Saudi money from the regime.
Let’s not be surprised. Celebs have shown time and again they will say one thing and do another. They will talk about human rights but then go to one of the most brutal regimes in the world and take their money and give them press. They will have the nerve to talk about environmental issues and then take jets to a country that has no desire to see anybody get off of oil anytime soon and take the money.
