This is one lucky dude:
An insurance clerk who bought an old Blackberry phone for £16 on eBay found he had purchased a hotline to Hollywood.
Astonished Kent Devey discovered details for film stars including Julie Walters, Natalie Portman, Kevin Spacey and Jude Law.
Others numbers in the phone’s address book were those of Stephen Fry, Louis Walsh, Julianne Moore and Paul O’Grady – plus a host of leading screenwriters, producers and cinematographers.
Kent, 28, from Oldbury, West Mids, said: “I noticed one of the emails hadn’t been wiped off.
“Then as I started to go through the numbers saved I recognised names.”
The shocked claims assistant added: “I told my brother and he didn’t believe it, so we decided to ring a couple of numbers.
“When I got Julie Walters’ answer phone, I was speechless.”
But honest Kent plans to contact the old owner, believed to be a film producer, and explain what happened. He said: “I think it was a genuine mistake, as the guy that sold it must have got the phones in bulk and expected they would have been wiped.”
You have to give this guy credit for not posting them all on a website alongside some Google ads.
That’s what I would have done!!
A used Blackberry for $28? Pretty cool. Jude Law’s number? Priceless! Forgive me for that – I couldn’t resist.
yay for this guy! i love when people are good :]
Gah! Please, leave my beloved Fry alone!
