Actor Adam Driver got such a long standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival that, halfway through it, he decided to light up a cigarette and start smoking.
As the end credits for Annette - this year's opening film - began to roll, the Cannes crowd stood up and began a long standing ovation.
While that type of reaction is not rare at the renowned film festival, Adam Driver's reaction to it made headlines.

Director Leos Carax began smoking a cigarette from his seat and handed one to Driver, who lit it and began smoking, as the crowd continued the five-minute-long standing ovation.
