Scott Speedman Cannes It

Scott Speedman poses during a photocall for Canadian director Atom Egoyan’s film Adoration at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival earlier this week in Cannes, southern France.

Speedman, who plays an uncle who raises a teenager whose parents were involved in a fatal traffic accident, has said, “Atom liked me in My Life Without Me, but he thought I was too young. But we did an impromptu audition, I flew up and convinced him. That’s my goal, to work with great filmmakers. He’s an artist, but he’s not a blacksuit-wearing pretentious prick. I’d do one line in his next movie if he’d let me.”

Speedman and costar Rachel Blanchard (both 32) say they’re going to spend the next month or so traveling Europe, rather than returning to L.A.

“I’m sending my clothes back home, packing a knapsack for my travels, and I’m going solo,” said Speedman.
