Hollywood actor Mads Mikkelsen spotted in Leeds AGAIN at favourite street food spot
We’ve been in the midst of a Hollywood star twice in the space of less than a month, as Mads Mikkelsen has once again been ‘papped’ in a beloved local Leeds restaurant.
The Danish actor has been in West Yorkshire on more than one occasion over the past month, and let’s be honest, he’s a hard face not to notice.
Best known for roles in Casino Royale, Hannibal and recently the hit videogame, Death Stranding, the Mikkelsen
The suave, striking and distinctive thespian was seen in Leeds once again this past weekend, popping into beloved Southeast Asian spot, ZAAP Thai, for a bite.
Imagine just going for a bit of street food and seeing Le Chiffre sat there… Mad.
Writing in the caption to their post on social media, ZAAP Thai said: “A huge thank you to the brilliant Mads Mikkelsen for visiting Zaap Leeds this weekend!
“An incredible actor and an even kinder man, it was a pleasure to welcome you. From Fantastic Beasts to 007, and now to ZAAP Thai – a man of great taste!
“We’re honoured you chose to dine with us. Hope to see you again soon, Mads!”
Having enjoyed ZAAP Thai for ourselves on multiple occasions, we can confirm that he has excellent taste.
If that wasn’t proof enough, as already mentioned, it was only last month that the 59-year-old was spotted in another Leeds hospitality venue.
For those of you wondering why he’s been around these parts, Mikkelsen is currently working on a new project called Sirius, which is producer Pascal Degove and Oscar-winning film editor, Lee Smith, are also tied to.
While most of the details surrounding the upcoming thriller are still under wraps, the trio were in town to discuss the movie; as for what brought him to ZAAP Thai for this second sighting, we can only assume it’s the incredible food.
In case you hadn’t heard the news, ZAAP are spreading even further across the North this year too, having just opened up another location over in Greater Manchester.
