Tom Holland admits promoting some of his past films was difficult because they were ‘s**t’
Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Tom Holland has said he wouldn’t recommend every film in his career as worth watching, saying there have been times during press tours when he secretly thought the movie was “s**t”. 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 Admits 'Shame' Over 'Awful' Fearne Cotton Comment That Got Her Fired
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 …

When an interviewer with Entertainment Tonight pointed out Damon’s muscles at the movie’s world premiere in London, Theron — who plays Greek goddess Calypso in the film — admitted that she was checking him out as well. “I’ve seen him without all of that suit on. He’s incredible. Incredible,” the Oscar-winning actor, 50, gushed to ET. “It’s weird. I’m, like, staring at him weirdly. I’m looking at his ass.” She then joked, “I shouldn’t do that!

Musk tells Tesla staff to switch to Grok — a model he admits is worse
Elon Musk told Tesla staff to move to using Grok, the AI model from his own xAI (now folded into SpaceX), according to a memo sent to employees on Friday. The push comes days after Tesla capped employee spending on third-party AI tools — and it lands even though Musk himself concedes Grok is not as good as its rivals. What the memo says Musk told staff they should switch to Grok “when possible” given Grok 4.5’s lower token costs compared to competitors, according to the memo, first reported by The Information. He also asked engineers to email him directly with feedback on the model. The directive follows Tesla setting a $200 weekly limit on employees’ AI spending earlier this week. That cap applies to models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google — but pointedly exempts xAI’s Grok, the tool Musk is now telling staff to adopt.

Martin Freeman Admits He Was 'Annoyed' At Ricky Gervais' Claim About The Office
Martin Freeman as Tim in The Office Martin Freeman has something to get off his chest about his time appearing in The Office. The Love Actually star played Tim in the original British sitcom, which ran for two seasons in the early 2000s, ending with a two-part Christmas special. It’s now been 25 years since The Office premiered on the BBC, and to mark the occasion, Martin and his co-star Mackenzie Crook recently took part in a one-off BBC special reflecting on their time on set. During the conversation, the Sherlock actor recalled how creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant were always quick to dismiss the suggestion there was any improvisation in the game-changing mockumentary, which Martin has a different view on. “When it became the monster that it did, and people would say it sounded improvised, then understandably, Ricky and Stephen went, ‘No, none of it’s improvised’, which is not true,” he said. Martin continued: “What slightly annoyed me at the time – but only slightly, at the time – is when the scripts …
