Lewis lurks in background at Nelson Mandela’s birthday bash

We told you last week about Lewis Hamilton taking his Pussycat Doll WAG to Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday dinner in London. Now here’s a pic of Lewis on stage at the event, albeit lurking on the sidelines. You can tell from the way the celebs are arranged, that Lewis is still some way from the top of fame’s fickle pecking order, behind Will Smith (Hollywood A-lister) and even Annie Lennox (self-righteous pop star, wearing her best humanitarian face).

Still, Lewis was clearly impressed by his encounter Mandela: “When I met him it was like walking in to see the king,” he said. “To be in front of God. He’s such a genuine guy. I’m sure he’s met millions of people in his life but he had so much patience with me. I was left speechless. I’ve never been speechless before.”
