A wink from James Franco, a date with Douglas Booth and other fantasies from TIFF fans camped out in front of the Trump Tower

We asked some young fans what they were hoping for once they locked eyes with their favourite celebrity from behind the barrier. Here, seven Toronto students share their wildest star spotting fantasies, including a shotgun wedding to Douglas Booth and a wink from James Franco.
