The Hitman’s Bodyguard on Wikipedia
A similar lamp, but fabricated as lampshade on a wooden floor lamp was used as a prop in the 2017 film The Hitman’s Bodyguard. A comedy about a bodyguard who protects a hitman. The title immediately tells the whole story. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Michael Bryce the bodyguard and Samuel L. Jackson as Darius Kincaid the hitman.
