DUSTIN HOFFMAN GETS HIS MOMENT AT KARLOVY VARY!
The legend accepts a Crystal Globe and gets real about why he's still crazy about making movies after all these decades.
Dustin Hoffman showed up to the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival ready to FEEL, and boy did he deliver! The Hollywood icon accepted the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema at the opening ceremony of the 60th festival — and got visibly emotional in the process, according to Variety.
During his acceptance speech, Hoffman got philosophical about his legendary career spanning decades. He opened up about how filmmaking makes him "feel alive," telling the crowd he's "grateful to have had the opportunity to do what I love." Pretty beautiful stuff coming from the guy who gave us "Tootsie," "Rain Man," and "Kramer vs. Kramer" — among many other iconic roles!
The Czech festival's opening ceremony was a star-studded affair, with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jesse Eisenberg, and Harvey Keitel also working the expanded red carpet at the double anniversary edition of the festival. But Hoffman's heartfelt moment was definitely the highlight of the night — a legend reminding us all why he's been in this business for so long.
