New Delhi: Celebrities including Elijah Wood and Aaron Paul are backing the bid to save a taco stand in Los Angeles' Studio City.
The Lord of the Rings actor and the Breaking Bad star joined locals at Henry's Tacos - located at the corner of Tujunga and Moorpark - on December 16, 2012 as they battled to save the iconic eatery from closure after it lost its lease.
Elijah Wood told losangeles.cbslocal.com: "I would come here with my family. We would get take out and take it home, or sit out on the benches, my brother and I and my dad and my mom and my sister. I used to live here, I used to live in the Valley, until I was 17. So a good amount of my early childhood and my teenage years were definitely spent hanging out at this place."
Aaron Paul tweeted a link to the petition to prevent the closure and urged his followers on Twitter to join him at the taco stand.
He wrote: "Who's coming to eat tacos with me today? #SaveHenrysTacos"
"Thank you to everyone who came out to support Henry's Tacos today. Truly amazing. So nice to see the beautiful community come together. #LA (sic)," he further added. While talk show host George Lopez couldn't make it to the "eat in", he paid for all tacos bought between 2 pm and 3 pm in order to encourage people to attend.
He tweeted: "To Clarify, I'm buying Tacos at #SaveHenrysTacos from 2pm to 3pm unfortunately I won't be there @aaronpaul_8 will be holding it down!! (sic)"
