The prototype of the hero of the Hollywood film Terminal, who lived for almost two decades in a Paris airport, died at the age of 77.

Iranian refugee Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who lived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for 18 years, died at the age of 77. He became the prototype of the star of the movie Terminal. The BBC reported it.

Nasseri’s unusual story caught the attention of Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, who decided to make a film based on the biography of the Iranian. Tom Hanks played the main role. The film is about a man trapped in New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport while a revolution sweeps through his home country.

Nasseri’s life ended at the terminal in July 2006 when he was hospitalized. At the end of January 2007, the Iranian left the hospital and lived in a hotel near the airport for several weeks.


Naseri was born in 1945 in Khuzestan province of Iran in the city Mesjede-Soleiman.

In November 1988, he settled in the airport after flying from Iran to London, Berlin and Amsterdam, trying to find his mother.

He was deported from every other country he went to because he couldn’t provide the proper documents.

At Charles de Gaulle airport, an informal support network formed around the Iranian, providing him with food and medical care, as well as books and radios.

In 1999, he received refugee status and the right to stay in France.

The man then commented on further plans in relation to granting refugee status. According to him, he is not sure whether he should stay in the French municipality of Roissy or leave. He said he “needs to carefully consider all options before making a decision.”

Recall that Amu Haji, a resident of Iran, who did not wash for the past 64 years, died a few months after taking a bath.
