Cannes 2014: Bring Back Our Girls, Say The Expendables

Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer, Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone, Ronda Rousey and Mel Gibson held signboards reading "Bring back our girls", to support the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls at Cannes on May 18.

Highlights

  • The "Bring Back Our Girls" message has made its way to the Cannes red carpet for the second night in a row.
  • This time, it was the cast of The Expendables 3 — which includes Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Jason Statham, and Wesley Snipes — who each held up signs bearing the message. The phrase refers to the worldwide effort to bring home more than 250 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the extremist Islamic group Boko Haram a month ago.

  • The Expendables 3 is not an official selection at Cannes, but its stars have made the most of their Cannes visit — arriving on the Riviera Saturday morning in tanks.
