BORGNINE GETS ORDAINED TO WED DIRECTOR PAL
Hollywood veteran ERNEST BORGNINE can add ordained minister to his impressive resume after presiding over the nuptials of moviemakers ELIA PETRIDIS and MARANATHA HAY.
Petridis, who directs the 94-year-old star in new film The Man Who Shook The Hand of Vicente Fernandez, asked Borgnine to conduct the wedding ceremony in Bellingham, Washington - and he was thrilled when the actor agreed.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "We honestly did not think he would marry us due to the fact that it was out of state - and he’s 94. Why would he travel? "We asked him just to give it a shot and he was totally enthusiastic and happy to do it. We were very moved." Borgnine was ordained online for the wedding, which took place on 31 July (11).
