Here’s What the Celebs are Getting in Their TIFF 2018 Swag Bags

Date September 8, 2018

What’s more exciting than Oscar contending films and A-List celebs? Free stuff, obviously. With the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival comes a steady stream of Hollywood talent hanging out in Toronto, and with the all those famous people comes the oh-so-exciting celebrity gifting lounges. (AKA the places where the stars get the best swag and gift bags. It’s a tough life, we know.)

Curious what Ryan Gosling, Julia Roberts and Timothée Chalamet will be taking home when then leave Toronto? Check out the gifting lounges (and the swag that comes with them) below:
