The Man who lived in the airport...

Mehran Karimi Nasseri was an Iranian national who spent a good part of life living in Charles De Gaulle Airport after his passport was revoked and he was expelled from Iran for protesting against the Shah. He did claim to have a British mother as his father worked for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in Iran. During his time in Charles De Gaulle airport he spent his time writing a diary, learning economics and eventually moved to a shelter in the 12 arrondisement of Paris. His life story was told in a book that was later translated into a well known film 'The Terminal' with Tom Hanks...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri
