SPIELBERG IN DEEP WATER
King of the Blockbuster Steven Spielberg got into a bit of bother on his £220 million tender, ‘Seven Seas’, whilst taking Gwyneth Paltrow for a Sardinian Cruise. He was unaware that there is a 900ft exclusion zone along the shoreline at La Maddalena. Coastguards were called to the scene when people complained about the noise the Avatar director’s boat was making.
Coastguard, Vincenzo Petrella. told the press, 'When we arrived at the scene there was a bearded gentleman signing autographs for people on the beach - we had been called by holidaymakers because the tender was so close to the shore... I recognised him instantly and he came up to me and said, 'I'm Steven Spielberg. How can I help?' I told him that regulations forbid tenders coming within 300 metres of the shore. He was very apologetic and even offered to pay there and then.'
Spielberg was fined around £130.
