Just about a year after brushing shoulders with my mum in SPQR on Ponsonby road, Taika Waititi has been spotted brushing shoulders with all our favourite stars at the Golden Globes.
Taika dressed to the theme of the night, sporting a black suit that would make Batman call his tailor and a Time’s Up badge calling for the end of discrimination and harassment in Hollywood.
The 2017 New Zealander of the year and director of Boy and What We Do in the Shadows did us proud, showing his support for a good cause and looking pretty cool too.
Taika walked the carpet with Chris Hemsworth, the star of his recent film Thor: Ragnarok which he directed and starred as the Kiwi-accented rock-alien “Korg”. It was noted that the Wellingtonian smiled extra-wide as he put his hand on (formerly Australian) Hemsworth’s shoulder to claim him as New Zealand’s own.
