U.K. tourist bluffs his way into IRON MAN!

A British holidaymaker talked his way onto the set

of a Hollywood blockbuster - and ended up in the movie.

ANANOVA reports.

.

Carl Kelly, 29, from Knebworth, Herts,

was even asked to act in a scene with Gwyneth Paltrow,

reports the Daily Telegraph.

He had wandered onto the set of Iron Man

while staying at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas

to watch Ricky Hatton fight last June.

When he noticed that part of the hotel's casino

was roped off, he decided to take a look.

A guard asked to see his pass but he bluffed his way past.

Mr Kelly sat down in an empty chair,

and soon found himself next to Iron Man star

Robert Downey Jr.

He confided to his fellow extras that he was an imposter,

but they agreed to keep quiet, and after three hours a

make up artist began touching up his features

and filming began.

He was so close to the action that he is clearly visible,

ringed, in promotional photographs being used to

publicise the film.

And after seven hours of being an extra,

the film's director Jon Favreau asked him to

act with Miss Paltrow.

Mr Kelly said:

"He said she would put her hand on my

shoulder and I was to guide her past the table.

"Some 38 takes later, I think they were getting pretty

fed up with me, but that's what happens when you

let an untrained nobody into your film."

After spending the day filming, Mr Kelly,

missed his plane home and had to pay for another flight.

He said:

"I only found out I was still in the film when I

was looking at the website.

At least my friends now believe me."
