November 12, 2022 / 6:06 PMAn Iranian man who lived for 18 years in Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, and whose saga loosely inspired the Steven Spielberg film"The Terminal," died Saturday in the airport that he long called home, officials said.
Year in and year out, he slept on a red plastic bench, making friends with airport workers, showering in staff facilities, writing in his diary, reading magazines and surveying passing travelers. Nasseri was born in 1945 in Soleiman, a part of Iran then under British jurisdiction, to an Iranian father and a British mother. He left Iran to study in England in 1974. When he returned, he said, he was imprisoned for protesting against the shah and expelled without a passport.
Further bureaucratic bungling and increasingly strict European immigration laws kept him in a legal no-man's land for years.
