- In 1988 he landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris, France) after being denied entry into England because his passport and United Nations refugee card had been stolen. He was not allowed into France and he did not want to return to Iran (his home country) from where he was fleeing as a political refugee. He ended up living in Terminal One of the airport for over 16 years. His dilemma was used as the basis for two movies: Tombés du ciel (1993) and The Terminal (2004).
