Trapped Again: Israeli Actor David Shaul Stranded in Italy by Volcano
Israeli actor David Shaul got stranded in Italy for the second consecutive year, this time due to a volcanic eruption in Sicily, mirroring a similar travel disaster he faced last year.
In movies, he needs rescue missions from Colombia or Japan, but actor David Shaul's reality ("The Legend of King Solomon" / "l'shahrer et shuli") often surpasses any comedy script: just a year after getting trapped in Italy in a nerve-wracking flight saga, the actor found himself stranded in the same country once again.
This time, the drama unfolded following the eruption of an active volcano in Sicily. Shaul and his partner were on their way to the island, but their flight was diverted to Rome. In helpless footage from inside the plane, the actor shared: "We have no way of getting to Sicily." The situation was further complicated by the fact that the two had already paid in advance for hotels, a rental car, and restaurants.
Yet, this is an almost exact rerun. Exactly a year ago, Shaul experienced acute drama in Italy while traveling with his wife and their two young children. Back then, delays and flight cancellations led to a nightmarish two-day journey that included nighttime drives between airports, hours of prolonged waiting on buses, and a public plea for help on social media.
Is this a bizarre coincidence or a self-fulfilling prophecy for the film star? Meanwhile, fans online are already wondering if this time too, a special rescue operation will be required to bring him home safely.
