Alessandro Glorio, of Café Gelato in Norwich, met Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormick, the stars of the film Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. They both enjoyed a well earned treat of Italian gelato during the shot of the new film.

The man was delighted to start a conversation in Italian with Emma.

Mr Glorio said: “The day of the filming we had an unexpected surprise, Emma Thompson came in. There was another surprise, she started to speak with us in a very good Italian.

“We immediately felt at ease with her, a lovely easy going person and a really expert of Italian gelato. Adorable.”
