Iranian film star Shahab Hosseini has won the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Hosseini was recognized on Sunday for his part in the movie, "The Salesman." The film tells the story of a husband shaken by the attack of his wife in their own home. In his acceptance speech, the 42-year-old actor said the award should go not to him, but to the people of Iran. “This award, in a way, has come from my people,” he said. “Therefore, I return it back to them. With love and with my entire heart and soul, I dedicate this award to the people of my country.” “The Salesman” won the best screenplay award at Cannes. The play is the work of Iranian writer and director Asghar Farhadi. A few years ago, Hosseini and Farhadi worked together on another movie, called “A Separation.” That film led to Hosseini winning a Golden Globe for Best Actor, while Farhadi won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
