Sir Christopher Lee charms the audience in Slovenia, 30 July 2011

Part of Christopher Lee's (89) award acceptance speech at the final event of the Grossmann film festival in Ljutomer, Slovenia.

Menahem Golan and Sir Lee both received life achievement awards.

The Grossmann Fantastic Film & Wine Festival is a week-long low-budget festival that annually draws a crowd of some 200 enthusiasts. Very, very far from Hollywood. www.grossmann.si

A maš še kej posnet?

@Shockwaver08 Ne, samo to.

If you want to know what an actor is and should be then simply look at Sir Christopher Lee. Even now in his somewhat dampened health, he still does what he does best. God bless you.

In such good shape for a 89 year old.

Good actor, but he can never be held up as one of the greats until he has an Oscar nomination under his belt.

Looking at this video; it appears that sadly, this great man will not be with us for much longer. It is so cruel that we, who are born of woman, have such a short time in which to flower. If only people would take a step back and see what REALLY matters in life, then maybe - just maybe - we'd have a happier, more rewarding world and happier, more rewarding lives. As I've got older, I've come to realise that the young are, sadly, cheated of the true beauty of life, that comes only with age. :-(

"Now when I became a actor over 200 years ago"

Haha he still makes me laugh, screw all these stupid comedians with their lame unfunny jokes, Christopher Lee can make people laugh without even needing to insult anyone in the progress.

@roga2609 I think they make better models than actors... there's the difference. :P Though I would hire someone else for a model in the end.
