DIRECTOR WEILAND LANDS ODD DRAMA CENTRE HONOUR
A new drama centre at a Westbury, England school has been named after CITY SLICKERS II: THE LEGEND OF CURLY'S GOLD director PAUL WEILAND, even though he never attended.
Paul Weiland at the World premiere of 'Made of Honor' held at the Ziegfeld Theater. New York City, USA - 28.04.08
Weiland insists he only received the odd honour because a former assistant's father is the headmaster of the school.
He tells WENN, "I got a house in Bath that we go to for holidays and weekends and the father of a girl who works for me there is headmaster at this Matravers School.
"He asked me if I would open a drama centre, so I went there and there was a plaque for the drama centre that had Paul Weiland on it.
"It was amazing because no one at my own old school would ever say, `Here's a pupil that's done well, maybe we should bring him back to inspire the other kids,' and these people don't know me from Adam. All the kids wanted my autograph."
