An airport official confirmed that the Iranian who spent 18 years stranded at a Paris airport and served as the basis for a Steven Spielberg film starring Tom Hanks, passed away on Saturday.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri
The official informed AFP that Mehran Karimi Nasseri passed away on Saturday shortly before noon in terminal 2F at Charles de Gaulle airport west of the French capital from natural causes.
He was first caught in an immigration trap, unable to enter France, and left with nowhere to go. As a result, he got dependent on his peculiar residence and grew more and more well-known on a national and worldwide scale.
“Sir Alfred”
Political deportation Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who spent more than 18 years living at the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, passed away there on November 12, 2022, at the age of 77. He addressed himself as “Sir Alfred,” and his territory consisted of a little area of airport parquet and a plastic seat.
Karimi Nasseri’s strange tale
After Steven Spielberg heard about Karimi Nasseri’s strange tale, it served as the basis for the 2004 film “The Terminal,” which featured Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Hanks portrayed a man who, after his own nation devolves into revolution, is detained at JFK airport in New York.
Karimi Nasseri just went back to the airport, according to the official, after spending the majority of the money he was paid for the movie.
He was found to be carrying several thousand dollars
Karimi Nasseri, who was born in 1945 in Masjed Soleiman, Khuzestan, Iran, moved into the airport in November 1988 after traveling from Iran to London, Berlin, and Amsterdam in an effort to find his mother. Because he was unable to present the necessary documentation, he had been ejected from every other country he had visited.
At the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, an unofficial support system developed around him, offering books, a radio, food, and medical assistance.

Refugee standing
He received refugee status and the ability to stay in France in 1999. After being granted permission to reside in France, he remarked, “I’m not really sure what I want to do, stay at Roissy or go.” “I can stay here, I have my documents, but I think I should carefully consider all my possibilities before deciding.”
At that time, he stayed.
His attorney at the time, Christian Bourguet, stated that “he no longer wants to leave the airport.” He is afraid to depart.
