Veteran Kelly savours a sweet success

VETERAN Irish actor David Kelly last night experienced the sweet smell of success as a little bit of Hollywood history was played out at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema.

Golden tickets, everlasting gobstoppers and chocolate bars were the order of the evening as stars from throughout the entertainment world took to the red carpet for the gala Irish premiere of the summer blockbuster, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Kelly, who takes a lead role as Grandpa Joe in the film, was in ebullient mood as he arrived for the early evening screening with family and friends.
