The 65th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity kicks off in the French Riviera on 18 June 2018. This year's lineup is jampacked with topic debates, power hours, game shows, and interactive sessions.

To simplify things, here are five must-see celebrated members of the television and film industry.

Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, or as you may know him Jaime Lannister, is set to announce an innovation in advertisement and conservation with the United Nations Development Programme and Finch, Inc. Coster-Waldau will be accompanied by British broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

One of the highest paid television actresses, Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo will join Kirsty Wark and Richard Edelman for a frank chat about 'Promoting, Protecting, and Entertaining in Untrusted Times'.

Thandie Newton, who currently stars in HBO's Westworld, will be going to be on stage with the editor of British Vogue, HP's CMO, and Omnicom's chief diversity officer as they explore the real issues behind diversity and why it's a business imperative that requires bold action.

Actor, director, screenwriter, producer, playwright and author Tyler Perry will sit down with MediaLink's Michael Kassan to explore 'The Art of the Hustle'.
