Cannes you believe Felix Baumgartner?

Either Felix Baumgartner has a brilliant sense of humour, or else when it comes to star-spotting he has a lot to learn.

There is a lot to admire about this Austrian daredevil. The first man to break the sound barrier without vehicular power after his world-record skydive last year, he has rightfully been touring to tell the world of his incredible skydive.

He was in Cannes this week at the MIPTV, a TV industry event, where he was telling his story and rubbing shoulders with other celebrities and posting the pictures to his Instagram account.

Like we said, be it a genuine mistake or just a good sense of humour, Baumgartner was delighted to be pictured with ‘Ozzy Osborne’, though the man next to him is in fact Gene Simmons, better known to many as The Demon from the band The Kiss.

Might not do much for Simmons’ ego when he sees this!
