The man who inspired the 2004 film has died in France after living at an airport for 18 years
Caught in diplomatic limbo, the man has been calling Charles de Gaul airport his home.
The man was born in 1945 and flew to Europe to search for his mother.
After spending a few years living abroad, he was expelled from a number of countries for not having the correct paperwork.
The Iranian man’s experience inspired the 2004 film, ‘The Terminal’ with Tom Hanks.
He had been granted refugee status and spent time living in France after profiting from the Steven Spielberg film.
However, it’s believed he returned to the airport a few weeks ago, where he sadly passed away.
