In a wide-ranging interview for British Vogue’s September issue, Kidman said she was taking a “feelings first” approach to her new single era. “That’s just who I am. I don’t overthink things and I’m probably not that analytical. I’m far more feeling-centered and I lead …

Tom Holland has previously named who he thinks should don the Spidey suit after him after his Spider-Man run is over. He told Esquire in June that Owen Cooper, the star of Netflix hit Adolescence, “would be awesome” for the job. “He’s super-talented and the talk of the town right now,” Tom added. Owen has previously spoken about wanting to play the iconic Marvel hero. But it wasn’t clear until now how seriously the The Odyssey star seems to be taking the selection process. Speaking on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actor explained that plans have been taking place behind the scenes for five years. “There’s a whole plan that we have been working on for, I would say, since we finished Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which released in 2021, he explained. “It’s laid out. It’s gonna change for sure, but I have a really clear vision to the passing on of the baton, and I think it’s really exciting.” He didn’t mention a name in this interview, nor did he mention the …

The British actor has been promoting his two latest releases back-to-back, and spoke about how he was “absolutely loving” the press run. “When you’re doing press for movies you’re really proud of, it’s really easy. Because when they ask you questions about why should people go and watch this movie, you’re not lying to anyone. You really think people should go see it,” he said on the Dish Podcast. “I’ve had experiences before when people say, ‘Why should you see this movie?’ And in the back of your mind, you’re like, ‘You shouldn’t, because it’s s**t.’” Holland is playing Telemachus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which follows Odysseus’s decade-long journey …

Christopher Nolan Admits Directing A Rom-Com Is A ‘Terrifying’ Thought

Still, the director has insisted that he’s more in his comfort zone doing something as strenuous as his latest big-screen epic than he would be something seemingly more straightforward, like a traditional romantic comedy. During a new interview on The Tonight Show about just how much his latest film put him through his paces, host Jimmy Fallon joked to Nolan: “Did you ever think to yourself, ‘man, next movie I want to do an easy one?’. How about a Christopher Nolan rom-com?” “I think doing a rom-com would be incredibly difficult,” the Oscar winner responded. “I love watching those movies, but I think comedy, people who direct comedy, people who do comedy, I think that’s one of the hardest things in the world – to make people laugh that way.” He explained: “You know, if I show [one of my films] to people and maybe they don’t respond to bits of it, I’m like, ‘ah, they don’t get it’. There’s no hiding behind that when you do comedy.” “I would be terrified of doing anything …

Miquita Oliver Miquita Oliver is reflecting on “awful” comments she once made about her former Radio 1 colleague Fearne Cotton, which led to her being fired. The British presenter was employed by the BBC for around two years in the mid-2000s, until being abruptly dropped for what she later claimed was an interview in which she branded Fearne a “devil woman”. “I worked there when I was 19 until I was 21, and then I did an interview in NME where I said a lot of silly things and they let me go,” she told Heat magazine in 2009. She claimed: “It was very sad, as I was into radio. But I hadn’t done much press, so I didn’t really know what I was doing. I thought I was clued up, but I wasn’t.” During the latest instalment of her popular podcast Miss Me?, Miquita took a moment to reflect on her “tumultuous” relationship with Fearne, claiming she’d made some “really awful” comments about her in the past. “I would like to tell the story …
