The Aussies Honor Celebs with Stamps
Australians got the chance to lick their favorite national celebrity’s behinds after a series of stamps were released yesterday.
Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe and Geoffrey Rush are all in the series named, Australian Legends.
The post managing director, Graeme John said, “These four outstanding Australians have captured the imagination of millions of people in Australia and around the world with their award-winning performances.”
Cate Blanchett, for one, was thrilled with the honor. “I am utterly, deeply, humbled and chuffed by the fact that I’m a stamp. I’m going to be licked by millions of Australians and I can’t wait. It is also recognizing the value of the arts in Australia. It brings it into general consumption and if I’m part of that, I feel intensely proud.”
