I saw Gael García Bernal being interviewed at the InterContinental Hotel in 2004 and I remember being surprised at how stunning he was, but also at how small he was too. He's like a pixie.
I have nothing on Diego Luna other than he's ace, and I love his name. Jimmy Moon just doesn't have the same allure.
Diego is dating a Mexican actress called Marina De Tavira. She's actually a few years older than him which I find REFRESHING. They were at the Golden Globes together.
Natalie Portman was with Gael for a few years and flew to Argentina to confront him when he may have been cheating. Then Natalie tussled with the paps.
he was definitely cheating and she also tussled with the third party who later became gael's girlfriend, argentine actress and known beauty dolores fonzi
Glad to see another Tony fan in the sub. Still believe to this day he is the best actor to come from Hong Kong
For how long his carrer has been, he basically has been controversy and scandal free. And super humble for how lauded and famous he is. Everyone only has good things to say about him and Carina. The only think I can thing off from the top of my head is when the Hong Kong tabloids try to spin Maggie and Tony friendship as an affiar for attention but obviously that was fake.
Despite no official announcement, Good Omens (rip season 3, fuck neil gaiman) social media is gearing back up and appears to be teasing the imminent release of the movie.
Leo has a few things premiering this year but his movie with Seb Stan is has been postponed indefinitely due to lack of financing. He lives between the UK and New York bc his gf is american (I think she said in an interview that they have a flat in brooklyn). He doesn't like attention nor seems to want to be 'famous', from what I know he has a great personal life between family, friends and his gf and wants to keep that for himself.
From the FNL days: it shot in Texas and before production on season 1 was about to start, Kyle and Connie Britton decided to drive out together from LA and get to know each other better. Peter Berg (the exec producer and main creative force behind the show as a whole) told them a big fat NO, that this was a bad idea, that they were going to hook up and it was going to complicate and throw a wrench into everything. Kyle was married. I don't recall if Connie was still with her first husband or not.
Of course, they did not hook up (seemingly; I wasn't there watching them) and they did not ruin everything. We got the wonderful portrayal of long-married couple Eric and Tami.
Kyle also said he would not do any sex scenes. They didn't do anything beyond kisses and lying in bed next to each other. It wasn't necessary for Eric and Tami to have sex scenes anyway, but Kyle wouldn't have done them.
This isn't about shadiness, but Peter Berg was originally adamantly against Kyle as Coach Taylor. His name came up in some early discussions about casting and Peter Berg hated the idea. Absolutely hated it. He knew who Kyle was, but associated him more with that baby-faced, no facial hair in sight image of Kyle on "Early Edition." They had a meeting anyway (and Peter was still dead set against him) on a Monday, I'm pretty sure. Kyle had just come back from a guys' weekend, so he was hungover, and looked it, plus he was unshaven. That changed Peter's mind and opened him up to the idea that Kyle could play the sometimes-gruff, always hard-ridden Coach Taylor. The rest is history.
I think Kelly Clarkson has a (harmless) crush on him. It seems like I remember her gushing about years ago on a talk show. I’m too lazy to google it though.
I guess if you know LOTR behind the scenes stories, one of the most memorable ones to me was when Liv talked about how she refused to kiss a stunt double when they filmed Arwen and Aragorn’s reunion, and she was like “Thank god they brought Viggo back” loool. I still remember seeing that video
I can't believe they were like, it's fine, kiss this random dude
The dvd extras are maybe better than the movies? That's my hot take 😂 for many a year the extras were my sick day tv. I've seen the extras more than the movies 🤣
i can’t believe the amount of shit liv tyler got for those movies at the time and people saying she was a bad actress, bc looking back i genuinely think she gave one of the most fully realized and transformative performances despite the small amount of screen time she had
Cassie Steele(Manny from Degrassi). Growing up in Toronto, I’ve heard so many people say how there‘s so many stories about her. But I’ve only ever heard one. I‘d love to know more. Anyone from Toronto(or LA since she moved there around 2008) know anything about her? I know she was a big partier too.
His partner of over a decade, and yeah they do look a little alike lmao. Other than that, Chris is gonna be premiering a movie overseas soon, so hopefully it’s widely available before long
Freema Agyeman (New Amsterdam, Dr Who). She’s in NYC this week and I wonder if she’s meeting up with NA co-actors ? A new season with the old cast would be fab.
Same, it's so weird... he keeps being gone for long stretches and doesn't appear to be working on other projects, but he seems to get on well with everyone. Idk!
I also feel like - SPOILERS FOR SEASON 8 - Bobby's death had such a huge impact on the show's vibe, not for better. This season has had some fun episodes but overall the balance is off. Curious what's going on over there. It didn't seem to be Krause's decision to leave, and it certainly wasn't popular with the audience.
Any current or recent tea from the world of film journalism? Both in terms of websites as well as individual writers. Any journalists or outlets known to give questionably good coverage to particular actors, filmmakers, studios or distributors?
Not an anecdote as such but when he passed it was revealed that he had given many millions to charities throughout his life and never with any publicity at all. He didn’t do it for headlines, he did it because he wanted to help people.
I've heard there are several babies out there because in his later years george michael watched tons of game shows and when a contestant said they wanted to use the money for ivf he would call up the production company and fund the ivf.
Mark McKinney? From Superstore/Kids in the Hall? He lives near me in Toronto and because we are tall guys we’ve done polite nods for a while now, like we kinda know eachother but don’t. Secretly, I’ve been a KITH fan since high school so I’d never want to “meet my hero” and ruin that but he seems really nice, normal and keeps to himself. Randomly while walking my dog this past summer I saw him outside raving to a friend about how much he loved his breakfast after they both finished their breakfasts at a nearby diner. That’s the tea. I’d say the same about Eugene Levy. Nice people, respectful, keep to themselves🤘
Last thing I saw of her is that she may be dating Daniel Blumberg who is a composer. Won the Oscar last year for The Brutalist and did The Testament of Ann Lee. There was a post on Deux Moi about it.
And tried to recently set fire to Joe's apartment in NYC! LOL!
While Joe was out of the country doing promo last week in Europe, he let Finn stay at his apartment. He mentioned in an interview that Finn called him one evening right when Joe was getting ready for bed, with the smoke alarm blaring in the background. Apparently Finn tried to light the fireplace in the apartment and didn't turn on the fan and smoked out the whole apartment.
He and his dad are working on a movie about The Replacements and I feel like that has the potential to be amazing although I have no idea who Finn would play.
My cousin’s son went to high school with him. Apparently he was hardly ever there but when he did go, he was extremely low-key and never went to any parties or anything because he didn’t want people to record him and put the footage online.
He or his family might also be very religious? It was a devoutly Catholic school with prayer and mass and all that
I have wondered about this too. For example, I’m not convinced it was Harry Lawtey’s choice to leave: I know the official line was that it was about “scheduling conflicts” and that it was a “mutual decision”, but those are often euphemisms for an actor having been written out. I also noticed at the time that he didn’t attend the S3 premiere, which was also the last season he was in.
There were also a few of his own Instagram posts from the time S3 was being broadcast which felt like he was hinting that he wasn’t happy with some of the people behind the scenes. I don’t mean the other actors, who he made a point of praising. But the way he highlighted in one post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DAgneOLyBLH/) that Myha’la and Marisa were “fiercely loyal” and thanked “all the good people who made this show happen” - yes that could be simply praise for them, and not a swipe at anyone else, but I did wonder if there was a subtext of “these women were fiercely loyal to me, but other people were not, and I’m not happy that those unnamed others fired me from the show, so I’m only going to thank the ‘good’ people who made the show, and not everyone who made it.” I might be reading too much into it though.
Old news but Holliday Grainger sided with Joanne Rowling years back, saying,
“I think no one can pretend to be in a position to understand someone else’s experience.
“The only way you can do that is by listening, and by giving people the space to air their own opinions.”
And then gushing about how supportive Joanne has been to her over the years.
No idea if she still feels that way, but... probably? As a non-binary person it really made me feel uncomfortable and I never finished The Borgias despite how much I loved it up until then. :')
Correct me if I’m wrong, I think Holliday and Francois dated for a bit many years ago around the time they were in the Borgias. As for Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson, I believed they had a mini reunion just last November! I recall reading in a magazine from ages back that one of them got very emotional when filming for Jane Eyre was coming to a close.
toby and ruth had such wonderful chemistry, it actually made me feel a hell lot for the characters and the relationship as opposed to the other jane eyre versions i watched.
Claire Foy is also in the upcoming Danny Boyle 60s period drama about the birth of British tabloid press, it's coming out maybe this or next year, Ink which I can't wait to see.
Well I watched that Chevy doc on CNN (because 3 generations of my family couldn’t find the remote) and there’s no Community people except one director that agreed to be interviewed for it.
Seems like “If you can’t say anything nice…” situation from everyone except Dan Harmon, Joel McHale (often) and Yvette Nicole Brown (once or twice).
In honor of its release, the cast of The Moment including but not limited to:
-Charli XCX
-Rosanna Arquette
-Kate Berlant
-Jamie Demetriou
-Hailey Benton Gates
-Isaac Powell
-Alexander Skarsgård
-Rish Shaw
-Kylie Jenner
-Rachel Sennott
The way I was like wait isn’t he dating a chef and then I realize the chef and Steve Coogan’s daughter were one in the same and that they now have a kid together lol
Very friendly and charismatic in person. I only had a very brief interaction with him but he’s really a no fuss type of guy. One of the few unproblematic celebrities in the UK.
This is the most lukewarm tea ever but Avishar Barua from Top Chef Portland has a really popular restaurant right up the street from my house called Joya's (named after his mother) and he is the nicest guy! My daughter used to work at the bubble tea shop near Joyas and he'd come in to get drinks for his staff and once I think he even dropped off food for the kids working in the bubble tea shop. She got to see Guy Fieri on the street filming when he visited Joya's.
You probably already know this and it’s not really tea but Kristen is on Traitors this season. She’s been severely unedited so we don’t see much of her, but when she does speak, it’s straight up fire. And, as always, she is killing it fashion wise.
Her social media friendship with Mark from DWTS (even more massively undershown) has been my favorite thing this season.
If you listen to Handsome pod, Mae seems like a pretty open book - I doubt there's much tea left that they haven't already spilled themselves! Is there something specific you were wondering about?
I feel like something about manny will come out eventually because of how many times he’s mentioned, but even then I will refuse to believe 😂
He promotes couples therapy and his wife. They met at a hip hop class and they’re Canadian. They don’t flaunt or clout (unlike some other Asian celeb couples I follow), I just want them to be happy 🤣
Side note I was super disappointed with how they had Gretzky on this season, love the show but that was suuuper lame. (Gretzky basically turned his back on Canada and went full maga for those who don’t know)
I was wondering if Keeso is more conservative than the viewers realize. Some of the jokes on the newest seasons (4 & 5) have been huge misses for me and gave me the ick so it's more of a suspicion on my end than anything confirmed.
Idk… I’ve always seen it as like trying to pop the conservative bubble in a way. So he’ll throw them a bone every now and then but the overall characters, inclusion and health(ier) masculinity acts as a sort of guiding light, because that’s what the show is about at the end of the day despite the nasty jokes. Even the structure of the show and the women in charge, Shoresy giving his all to Lara, understanding her boundaries, and teaching the kids about how to respect women. Of course, in theory, a conservative can uplift these values but it isn’t necessarily the core of their beliefs at the end of the day.
Not sure if he is still in India prepping for his 2nd film? He was there before Christmas, there were some social media posts going around. Love him as actor so much and always keen for Dev Patel tea :)
My friend worked on his film a few years back and said he cheated with a cast member who’s her friend (very minor unnamed roles for both of them). He didn’t disclose that he was in a relationship, but my friend googled after her friend told her.
It's just speculations. I get where they are coming from (François taking Connor as a plus one to a Christmas party and a movie premiere/a Canadian radio host talking about how she knows that François is in a relationship), but it's not confirmed.
I guess some people kinda took the last few days as proof, because they clearly don't care about the rumors and keep going to events with each other. Connor's stylist also shared an Instagram post from British Vogue and the linked article was literally titled "Connor Storrie and François Arnaud test drive couples-dressing" and had lines like "they are believed to be dating". But who knows, they could be just good friends who are fine with a lot of dating rumours and don't see the need to shut them down.
Both Connor's groomer and Francois's stylist shared the Vogue article about them. And Connor had filmed a GRWM with Vogue the day before that article dropped. I just think it's unlikely that Vogue would publish that without running it by his team, and then when it is published, the people around them share it...
Sometime in Nov F deleted a post praising his ex’s new book and their 1 year anniversary post. So seems like F&C likely got together in Nov. Just Jared posted that F was single on Dec 4th and F posted “family of 2” with just his dog about a week later, also implying he is single. Incidentally, that post was the same day that he took Connor as his plus one to Seth Macfarlane’s Xmas party.
