Michael Keaton has already picked up awards for his work in Birdman, but now he's getting some love from none other than Secretary of State John Kerry.
Here's how it all went down…
Keaton was having dinner tonight at Scott's Restaurant in London where Kerry also happened to be dining.
"Kerry came up to Michael at his table and said, 'I just wanted to tell you that I lovedBirdman. You were great in it,'" an onlooker tells me. "They chatted for a few minutes and then both went back to eating."
But things didn't end there.
"Michael was leaving the restaurant, but Kerry stopped him and asked him to join him for a drink," my source says. He did.
Keaton is London to promote the upcoming U.K. release of Birdman.
The celeb most recently was named Best Actor by the National Board of Review Awards, which also included Birdman in its annual list of Top Ten Films. Keaton took home Best Actor earlier this week at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City. He's also up for Best Male Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards.
Keaton is likely to also pick noms for the Oscars and Golden Globes.
Birdman tells the story of a has-been superhero movie actor trying for a comeback by mounting a play based on a Raymond Carver short story. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the film also stars Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Edward Norton, Amy Ryan and Zach Galifianakis.
