Toronto Mayor Rob Ford paid a visit to the heart of the the Toronto International Film Festival for a tour of the TIFF Bell Lightbox on Wednesday. He was also asked to offer some insight into his cinematic tastes.

Here’s what we learned: Favourite movie: “I like sports. I like non-fiction movies, based on true stories and stuff like that. One that sticks out is American Gangster. I thought that was a really cool movie. But I like history too and the wars and all that.”

Favourite movie at TIFF: He hasn’t seen any, and he doesn’t know if he will. “I haven’t seen a movie in a long time,” he noted.

The next one may be The Smurfs 2, with his daughter Stephanie.

Walking like a celebrity: Mayor Rob Ford did his own stroll down the red carpet, at the behest of television cameras that had followed him to TIFF ground zero.

He tried to mimic a celebrity strut. “Is this how they walk?” he asked.
