HEATHER GRAHAM’s 40th birthday celebration hit new heights as she performed onstage with acrobatic dance troop Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas.
Graham’s boyfriend, film director Yaniv Raz, organised a surprise trip to Sin City for the Hangover star’s special day (29Jan10), which began with a special Pilates warm-up class at Ka, the Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand hotel.
She was then ushered into the Ka theatre, where she was buckled into a harness and taught how to jump and slide face-first down a 50-foot (15-metre) vertical stage, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
She later told the cast, “This was a blast, even though I’m slightly afraid of heights. It was always my dream to fly onstage with Cirque du Soleil, and you’ve helped bring my dream to life.”
