Director Weiland Lands Odd Drama Centre Honour

By WENN, August 9 2008

A new drama centre at a Westbury, England school has been named after CITY SLICKERS II: THE LEGEND OF CURLY'S GOLD director PAUL WEILAND, even though he never attended.

Weiland insists he only received the odd honour because a former assistant's father is the headmaster of the school.

He tells WENN, "I got a house in Bath that we go to for holidays and weekends and the father of a girl who works for me there is headmaster at this Matravers School.

"He asked me if I would open a drama centre, so I went there and there was a plaque for the drama centre that had Paul Weiland on it.

"It was amazing because no one at my own old school would ever say, `Here's a pupil that's done well, maybe we should bring him back to inspire the other kids,' and these people don't know me from Adam. All the kids wanted my autograph."
