Natalie Portman Reveals How She Really Feels About Those Star Wars Prequels

Natalie Portman has insisted she feels “blessed” to have been part of the Star Wars franchise.

The Oscar winner appeared as Padmé Amidala in the three prequel films in what’s come to be known as the “Skywalker saga”, beginning with 1999’s The Phantom Menace and ending with 2005’s Revenge Of The Sith.

Speaking to Total Film, Natalie said she felt Star Wars is something she feels “extraordinarily lucky thing to have been part of”.

“I know how meaningful it is for people. And, every day, still, people are like, ‘I just watched it with my kids’,” she explained.

“To be part of something like that that’s part of that cultural mythology, and part of people’s childhoods, in such a vibrant way, is so, so lucky.”

However, the Black Swan actor admitted that not all of her Star Wars memories are good ones, namely down to the fact the prequel trilogy didn’t exactly get the warmest reception from fans at the time.

“The reaction to them when they came out, being as harsh at it was – it was hard,” Natalie recalled.

“And obviously, over time they’ve gained more appreciation, which has been nice, to always feel the balm of time. But, yeah, I feel very blessed to have been part of that, at that moment in my life.”

Natalie was just 18 when Episode I in the Star Wars saga hit cinemas, and she’s since gone on to win acclaim for films like Closer, Black Swan and Jackie, all of which earned her Academy Awards recognition, as well as last year’s May December.

Following her stint in Star Wars, Natalie also joined another major franchise when she joined Marvel’s Thor universe as Jane Foster.

House Of The Dragon Star Opens Up About Filming ‘Animalistic’ Sex Scene That Was Eventually Cut From Show

House Of The Dragon star Olivia Cooke has revealed not all of the sex scenes she filmed made it into the final edit.

The British actor played Alicent Hightower, who becomes the second wife of King Viserys I Targaryen, in the first season of the Game Of Thrones prequel, and reprises the role in the second run, which is airing now.

In a new interview with Elle, Olivia opened up about some of the show’s infamous sex scenes, recalling one in particular that wound up on the cutting room floor.

“It was messy as fuck,” she said of the “animalistic” and “carnal” sequence. “It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do.”

On why the scene ultimately wasn’t used, she claimed that showrunner Ryan Condal felt “we weren’t learning any more about the characters”.

“I disagree with [that] slightly,” she added. “But it’s okay. It’s his show.”

Asked more generally about House Of The Dragon’s sex scenes, Olivia shared: “I thought there’d be way more, and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured, which is amazing and doesn’t feel gratuitous. It feels like we’re telling a story.”

Olivia recently gave an interview to The Times, in which she shared how she really felt about playing a grandmother in the hit fantasy show, despite only being in her early 30s.

“I have really complicated feelings towards it,” she admitted. “If they can create dragons, they could have made me look younger – and then older. Or maybe they should have cast actors in their forties?”

“It’s strange,” Olivia added. “I bristle a bit because the years between being a teenager and now a grandma on screen were so short for me. There’s real reticence to see women age on screen.”

House Of The Dragon airs on Mondays on Sky and Now.

Central Cee’s Front Row Appearance At Paris Fashion Week Stole The Show For This 1 Baffling Reason

Posted on by
Reply

Chart-topping rapper Central Cee got the best seat in the house next to Sabrina Carpenter at the Louis Vuitton Fashion Week show on Tuesday, but that’s not the reason his appearance at the event has got people talking.

The British musician and Espresso singer sat side by side at the high fashion spring/summer 2025 event in Paris, where they were spotted posing for photos together at the outdoor show.

But one video clip has been doing the rounds online that ends with a truly random reveal, in which Central Cee whips out his Nintendo DS and proceeds to bury his head in a video game.

The interaction unsurprisingly left social media users bewildered and amused, especially as another clip revealed that the Nonsense singer even gave it a go herself.

“Central Cee watching Sabrina Carpenter play the Nintendo DS at the LV show is the most random sight to see but coolest at the same time,” one X (formerly Twitter) user said.

“He’s so real for this,” another shared. “Central Cee the epitome of that one cousin who’s forced to take pictures at a family gathering,” a third joked.

Some fans also noted a certain lyric in Sabrina’s signature hit Espresso had never been more relevant.

It’s also worth pointing out that the pair were seated next to Eurovision favourite Mahmood, who finished in second place back in 2019.

Another video from the fashion show also shows the moment Sabrina first introduced herself with a hug and even insisted that “Barry said I said to say hi to you”, name-dropping her rumoured boyfriend Barry Keoghan.

That’s not the only fashion week moment that’s caused a stir online this week, after Paul Mescal attended Milan Fashion Week in a pair of his signature short shorts.

In what came as a surprise to absolutely no one, the internet lost it at yet another leggy outing from the Normal People star.

Jennifer Lopez Posts Father’s Day Tribute To Ben Affleck Amid Split Rumors

Jennifer Lopez wished her husband, Ben Affleck, a happy Father’s Day on Sunday with a short and sweet message.

“Our hero,” read the post on the Atlas star’s Instagram story, alongside a white heart emoji. “Happy Father’s Day.”

The backdrop of J-Lo’s post was a black-and-white image of Ben, apparently from his 2001 film Pearl Harbor.

Following this, Jen shared a black-and-white photo of her own father, alongside the message: “Happy Father’s Day Daddy.”

Ben and Jennifer are both parents to children from their previous marriages to Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony, respectively.

Jen’s post comes amid speculation over the state of Jen’s marriage to the Air actor, and reports they are selling the $61 million (around £48 million) home they bought last year.

The Golden Globe nominee recently cancelled her This Is Me… Live summer tour, with the event’s promoters saying at the time that the singer was taking time off to be with her “children, family and close friends”.

“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary,” she wrote in a statement about the decision last month.

“I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”

The Critics Have Spoken… So, How Does Inside Out 2 Measure Up To The Beloved Original Film?

Posted on by
Reply

One of the most beloved Pixar films in the studio’s history is getting a sequel, with Inside Out 2 hitting cinemas this weekend.

The new movie takes us back into the mind of a now 13-year-old Riley and the mission control centre of emotions inside her head.

However, this time around, there’s a whole host of new feelings added into the mix, thanks to the help of a stellar expanded cast, including The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri as Envy, Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke as Anxiety and Passages’ Adèle Exarchopoulos as Ennui.

The first reviews for Inside Out 2 have been hugely positive, praising the sequel for living up to the magic of the first film. That being said, others have said that it’s missing a certain spark that made the original so popular.

Here’s a sample of what critics have had to say so far…

“Inside Out 2 glimmers with diamond-hard truths about the complex business of being a human being – especially a teenage human being – but it’s still a fast-paced and playful comedy adventure with even more jokes and more puns than Inside Out.”

“Through this decade so far, Pixar’s films have held great ideas that haven’t quite reached their full potential. This is probably its best film since Coco, and best sequel since Toy Story 3.”

“It’s a lovely sequel, without a trace of cynicism to it, that also by necessity lacks a little of the freshness and originality of 2022’s Turning Red or 2021’s Luca…What was once a lesson in the necessity of negative emotions, such as sadness, has now matured into its second stage: a bittersweet, tear-jerking reminder that we’re better, more rounded people when we embrace our flaws and insecurities.”

“Wanting Inside Out 2 to match the first movie was always set to be an unlikely challenge as it was such a unique concept. What the sequel does achieve is being a worthy follow-up that expands the world with brilliant tweaks to the concept, as well as delivering witty gags that simplify big ideas.”

“New feelings propel a Pixar sequel enchanting enough to second that emotion… Inside Out 2 marks a triumphant creative return for Pixar, bringing off the thing that this studio, at its best, has done better than anyone: finding the sweet spot that merges the gaze of children and adults.”

“Pixar has been good at tackling thorny emotional terrain in an accessible, translatable-for-all-ages way since Buzz first met Woody. When Inside Out went the extra step of giving us a literalized emotional terrain and rendering everything with such a heart-rending wallop, it lifted the bar that much higher. Inside Out 2 makes good on that film’s promise by making good on its next-step premise.”

“After a period of some ups and more downs, Pixar can at least boast of following up one of their later classics respectfully. [Inside Out 2] deserves the healthy audiences it will surely stir up.”

“Delightful sequel set in turbulent early adolescence…The message of Inside Out 2 is as universal and good-hearted as that of its predecessor: You might not know from one minute to the next what emotion is driving a teenage mind, but every messy part of the mechanism has both function and beauty.”

“There are some laughs, but it sees the teen transition in terms of a moral crisis, of abandoning and then reclaiming the niceness of childhood innocence; it’s a little bit convoluted and repetitive and, in its sanitised, Disneyfied way, this film can’t quite bring itself to mention the most important new teen emotion of all. Have the grown-ups in charge of this film really forgotten?”

IGN (7/10)

“While its chaotic new cast serves a clear purpose, Inside Out 2 is more metaphor than meaning. It explains plenty about the confusing emotions associated with puberty, often in intelligent ways, but it rarely lets them be felt or experienced, the way its predecessor did.”

“Pixar’s talky, uneventful sequel doesn’t have much fun in mind… Battle-weary parents of surly teens will have some fun here and there, especially when Ennui’s blasé influence opens up a ‘sar-chasm’ in Riley’s brain that makes everything sound, well, sarcastic. But, when all’s said and done, the stakes are so minor, it’s hard to imagine anyone will leave this desperate to see an Inside Out 3.”

“All brains and no heart, this disappointing sequel proves Pixar learned all the wrong lessons from its pandemic years… Pixar’s obsession with universal relatability results in another movie that feels more like a corporate spreadsheet than a glimpse into a real person’s brain.”

Inside Out 2 comes to UK cinemas on Friday 14 June.

Matt Bomer Says He Lost Out On A Massive Superhero Role After He Was Outed As Gay

Posted on by
Reply

Matt Bomer has claimed he lost out on the role of a lifetime after being outed as gay.

The US actor – who is known for films like Magic Mike and The Normal Heart, as well as the TV show Fellow Travelers – has said he was in the running for the lead role in DC’s scrapped film Superman: Flyby in the early 2000s.

“It looked like I was the director’s choice for the role,” Matt claimed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, revealing he went as far as signing “a three-picture deal at Warner Bros.” to play the iconic superhero.

However, the film ultimately became one of the several axed Superman films in the hiatus between 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and 2006’s Superman Returns.

While Matt came out as gay publicly in 2012, he himself is unsure of the exact circumstances around how he was outed earlier in his career, though believes it contributed to him missing out on the role.

Asked whether he believes his sexual orientation affected that outcome, Matt shared: “Yeah, that’s my understanding.”

He continued: “That was a time in the industry when something like that could still really be weaponised against you. How, and why, and who, I don’t know.”

Matt even left his role playing Ben Reade on the CBS soap Guiding Light, which he starred in between 2002 and 2003, for the Superman audition process.

“I went in on a cattle call for Superman, [which] turned into a one-month audition experience where I was auditioning again and again and again,” he said.

The Superman film in question was an early version of a new instalment in the franchise penned by The Force Awakens co-writer and director J.J. Abrams.

Paul Walker, Josh Hartnett and Brendan Fraser were just some of the stars reportedly considered for the new Superman role, before the movie was ultimately shelved.

Matt did eventually lend his voice to Superman in the 2013 animated direct-to-video film Superman: Unbound, along with another recent role voicing The Flash in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One.

Most recently, the American Horror Story star appeared opposite Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey in the 2023 miniseries Fellow Travelers, which follows two men who fall for each other during a volatile period in America’s history.

Jessica Gunning Recalls Hilarious Encounter That Left 1 Baby Reindeer Fan ‘Terrified’

Posted on by
Reply

Jessica Gunning has revealed she recently gave one Baby Reindeer viewer an inadvertent scare.

The British actor received widespread praise for her performance as a stalker in the Netflix show, which became a word-of-mouth global hit after it began streaming earlier in the year.

She and her co-stars Richard Gadd and Nava Mau recently sat down with Netflix to reflect on the show’s success, which its creator and leading actor revealed has surpassed his expectations.

“I really believed in it, I thought it was good, I thought it was different, I thought it would provoke conversation, but I thought it would probably be like a critical cult success,” he admitted. “[I thought] it would sort of sit on the platform as a bit of a sort of artistic gem.

“It’s just crazy that it has resonated with so many people.”

Proving Richard’s point, Jessica disclosed that she recently had an encounter with one Baby Reindeer fan that wound up giving them quite the fright.

“The other day I actually got out of my car, and I hadn’t had any makeup on and my hair was probably a little bit Martha-esque,” she explained. “And a lady just screamed when she saw me.

“I was like, ‘I’m so sorry’, and she went, ‘no I’m sorry – I just finished episode seven’.”

For those who’ve already forgotten, episode seven served as the Baby Reindeer finale, and sees Martha tracking down Donny’s family before finally being convicted with stalking.

After that, Donny then becomes obsessed with listening back to voicemail messages that she left him, and re-reading her old emails.

Jessica added: “She’d finished episode seven, turned the TV off, walked outside and then I was like, ‘hello!’ Imagine! No wonder she was terrified!”

During the same interview, Richard also spoke about some of the show’s celebrity fans – including one he’s still struggling to get his head around for personal reasons.
