Christian Oliver completed filming on his final movie before he died.
The 'Speed Racer' actor and his two daughters - Madita, ten, and Annik, 12 - died in a plane crash in the Caribbean on Thursday (04.01.24), as their plane was flying from J. F. Mitchell Airport in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to St. Lucia, and in a tribute to the German-born star from Nick Lyon, the director shared a photo from the last day of shooting on 'Forever Hold Your Peace', which was taken just two weeks before on 20 December.
Sharing a photo of himself and Nick - who also had a producer credit on the thriller - he wrote on Instagram: “This is our 5th film together. @christianoliverofficial and me produced this one, and this is our last day of filming! We talked about producing a film together for years and finally did it! Thank you for being a great colleague, actor and friend @christianoliverofficial #foreverholdyourpeace (sic)"
He later shared a portrait photograph of his friend and simply wrote: "Rest In Peace my friend @christianoliverofficial (sic)"
Meanwhile, Bai Ling, who also appears in 'Forever Hold Your Peace', has also paid tribute to her co-star and the experience they shared together making the movie.
She wrote: “Dear Christian Oliver @christianoliverofficial with tears in my eyes I cannot express the sorrow I felt when our direct Nick called me not long ago, that the plane he took had crashed , including his beautiful 2 daughters and the pilot had all passed!
