Chris O'Dowd snags free honeymoon at Cannes

Actor Chris O'dowd has sorted out his honeymoon after landing a free exotic vacation from a holiday company at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

The Bridesmaids star popped the question to his partner, TV presenter Dawn Porter, over the Christmas season and the pair is busy planning its nuptials.

But O'Dowd doesn't have to worry about booking a post-wedding vacation - he was offered a luxury retreat to Bora Bora for free when he attended the film festival earlier this week.

Porter tells the Daily Mail, "We went to a gifting suite and one place was promoting luxury resorts. It's normally dresses, moisturiser and things, but there was this place promoting a luxury hotel in Bora Bora."

O'Dowd adds, "We told them we were looking for a honeymoon and they told us they'd give us four nights. Now that's some crazy s**t."
