Baby recreates classic movie scenes

A six-month-old baby who poses with props to recreate classic movie scenes has become an internet sensation.

Arthur Hammond has evoked iconic scenes from hit films including Jaws, The Godfather, Rambo: First Blood, and American Beauty.

The tot relies on a range of simple props such as stuffed animals, bath toys, food and his own crib - as well as a little help from mum Emily.

The youngster's blog 'Arthur Recreates Scenes from Classic Movies' is attracting 50,000 hits a month.

And fans from all over the world are sending Arthur requests to act out their own favourite film moments.

Arthur's 'acting' debut used a cuddly toy to recreate the scene in 1979 hit Alien where an alien emerges from John Hurt's chest.

Since then he has replayed Mena Suvari's famous rose petal scene from American Beauty - lying on a bed in his nappy.

His take-off of The Godfather sees him lying in bed next to the severed head of a horse, which is actually an artfully arranged cuddly toy.

While for Jaws, open-mouthed Arthur comes face to face with a colourful plastic shark in the bath.

Film buff Emily Cleaver, 36, an author from Oxford, said: "Arthur enjoys all the attention when he is doing the scenes and likes it when I take his photo.

"I think it helps that it is so visual. People know the films and can look at the pictures without the need for words."
