How ‘Love Story’ Star Paul Anthony Kelly Became JFK Jr.

How ‘Love Story’ Star Paul Anthony Kelly Became JFK Jr.

Published by Jenni Sidey

How hot is too hot? A few days before Ryan Murphy’s eagerly anticipated series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette hits streaming, I find myself in a dimly-lit Chinese tea parlor with Paul Anthony Kelly, the 37-year-old model-turned-actor lately plucked from relative obscurity to play the show’s titular John-John, looking through a menu of Cantonese dishes and trying to gauge how much heat this Canadian-born white boy can take. “Honestly, the spicier the better,” he tells me with a grin. “I eat everything.” We’re meeting at a very strange time in his life. A year ago, Kelly was just another male model in his late 30s. Modeling had always been good to him, keeping him gainfully employed for almost two decades, but he had also, maybe, maxed out in that world. He’d walked the runways for Vivenne Westwood, worked in Tokyo and Hong Kong (where he built up a tolerance for chili oil), and modeled in catalogs for everyone from Eddie Bauer to Brooks Brothers, but it was clear he wasn’t going …

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been evacuated from the Lodge in Canberra amid safety concerns, police said. The federal police were called to his home due to reports of a threat, and he ahs since been moved to a different secure location.  Emergency vehicles were spotted outside the property at around 6pm local time on Tuesday. According to sources, the prime minister has confirmed he is safe and there is no threat to the public. Australian Federal Police (AFP) said: “About 6pm today, the AFP responded to an alleged security incident within the ACT. “A thorough search of a protection establishment has commenced and is still ongoing. There is no current threat to the community or public safety.” Former AFP Detective Superintendent David Craig called it a “significant move” by authorities. He told Sky News: “This isn’t a some online threat… There must be some corroboration to it for [police] to act this way.  “They will have a number of plans, and depending on the the objective or the vector of the threat, those plans will …

Anthony Gordon smashes Newcastle records after Eddie Howe’s tactical masterstroke

Anthony Gordon smashes Newcastle records after Eddie Howe’s tactical masterstroke

Published by Sam Flores

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has challenged his players to make more history by reaching the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time. Howe’s team face Qarabag at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium in Baku on this evening in the first leg of their play-off tie with a place in the business end of the competition at stake and head coach Howe, who led the club to their first major domestic trophy in 70 years by clinching last season’s Carabao Cup, is determined to write a new chapter. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, he said: “It means everything to us. The opportunity for us to get to the last 16 of this competition would be an incredible achievement. “We’re trying to embrace it in that way and look at the excitement and the possibility rather than feel the burden of the pressure of the occasion. “We want to turn these moments into history and into moments people talk about for a long time. There’s a real excitement with this game.” Newcastle …

‘Love Story’ Star Paul Anthony Kelly Is on a Great Jacket Streak

‘Love Story’ Star Paul Anthony Kelly Is on a Great Jacket Streak

Published by Jenni Sidey

Later on, however, Kelly sported a piece of outerwear that felt swiped from the set of Love Story: a rugged leather jacket from Prada, dyed at the edges for a “vintage effect,” per the brand’s website. Collar flipped up, pointing to a head of casual curls, it brought to mind the weathered boxy leather jackets often donned by John-John and the effortless élan with which he wore them. Jose Perez / Getty Images That same day, the actor was also photographed in a gray double-breasted suit by Paul Smith. And with it came another outstanding example of outerwear: a wool Brioni coat in a slightly cooler gray. (Cut at the GQ-approved below-the-knee length.) It captured the pre-millennium Ivy-grad vibe from a different angle—JFK Jr. is a Brown alum, after all. Method dressing can so easily slip into parody. But Kelly’s outerwear rotation forges a middle path between homage and Halloween. Instead of cosplaying Camelot, he’s channeling its confidence, polish, and undone charm. If JFK Jr. mastered the art of looking born into it, Kelly seems …

Anthony Hopkins on The Silence of the Lambs and his earliest dreams

Anthony Hopkins on The Silence of the Lambs and his earliest dreams

Published by Daniella Wilson

This article was originally published in Radio Times magazine on 20 October 1994. It was only when he won an Oscar in 1992 for his part as Hannibal Lecter, the serial killer who cooked and ate his victims in The Silence of the Lambs, that Anthony Hopkins was convinced finally he’d become a decent actor. “After the old award came along I said to myself, ‘What’s to prove now? I’ve done it’.” Until then, he says, he’d wallowed in the troughs of insecurity, self-pity and alcoholism so common among our artistic brethren. Tedious stuff really. “Now I’m happy and at peace, with no axes to grind,” he says. Let’s hope that isn t really true. His brilliance is drawn from the furies lurking within him and, although today in Cardiff he is the very image of self-deprecating thespian bonhomie, as well as a mixture of hauteur and vulnerability, he adds: “In a way my parts have been therapy, providing me with a great purging of my emotions. They seem to have paralleled my own development. …

Anthony Chen’s Lovely Singapore Story

Anthony Chen’s Lovely Singapore Story

Published by Daniella Wilson

After two features set far from home — respectively Drift in Greece and The Breaking Ice in China — Anthony Chen returns to Singapore with the minor-key magical We Are All Strangers (Wo Men Bu Shi Mo Sheng Ren). As flavorful and satisfying as the Hokkien noodles seen being stir-fried, seasoned and served with a cold beer at various intervals, the film is a hypnotic conclusion to what the writer-director calls his Growing Up trilogy — preceded by the poignant domestic drama Ilo Ilo and the melancholic intergenerational romance Wet Season. What these movies have in common is their fresco-like attention to the ebb and flow, the minute details, the disappointments and rewards of ordinary lives and imperfect families, both biological and chosen. We Are All Strangers The Bottom Line An unpolished gem. Venue: Berlin Film Festival (Competition)Cast: Yeo Yan Yan, Koh Jia Ler, Regene Lim, Andi LimDirector-screenwriter: Anthony Chen 2 hours 37 minutes Shot with unflashy elegance (this time by Teoh Gay Hian) and imbued with a strong sense of place, they are intimate …

Freestyle skiing-Australia’s Anthony earns redemption with dual moguls gold

Freestyle skiing-Australia’s Anthony earns redemption with dual moguls gold

Published by Sam Flores

LIVIGNO, Italy, Feb 14 : Australia’s Jakara Anthony won the gold medal in the women’s freestyle skiing dual moguls at the Winter Olympics on Saturday, redeeming herself after a disappointing loss three days earlier in the single-format moguls.  Anthony, 27, became the first Australian to earn two Winter Olympics gold medals when she overtook American Jaelin Kauf under heavy snow in the northern Italian town of Livigno. Kauf earned silver, and bronze went to fellow American Elizabeth Lemley. “This one is really different to the last one because I picked this up after the heartbreak of the other day,” Anthony said of her new medal. Dual moguls is a new sport at the Olympics, pitting skiers together in a head-to-head elimination format in which two competitors race side-by-side through parallel bump fields. Speed counts, but so do turns and aerial manoeuvres.  Anthony crossed the finish line a fraction of a second before Kauf but had to wait for the judges’ final assessment. She smiled and pumped her arms in the air when she saw she …

Paul Anthony Kelly Is Already Dressing Like a Kennedy

Paul Anthony Kelly Is Already Dressing Like a Kennedy

Published by Jenni Sidey

With all the buzzy biopics hitting theaters and streaming services of late, there’s been no shortage of historical fodder for method-dressing stars to reference on their press tours. Think: Jeremy Allen White channeling blue-collar Springsteen in clingy white tank tops and leather jackets, or the brooding, high-collar suits Jacob Elordi has taken to while promoting Emerald Fennell’s campy adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Now, with Ryan Murphy’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette premiering today, the show’s fresh-faced male lead Paul Anthony Kelly is leaning into Kennedy-esque prep. For an appearance on Good Morning America yesterday, Kelly sported a look from designer Michael Rider’s red-hot Celine: light-wash jeans, crisp white dress shirt, and a razor-sharp, peak-lapel blazer, all topped off with a red-white-and-blue striped necktie (though it appeared to be tucked into his waistband, it was, in fact, one of Rider’s signature squared-off ties), and a pair of cheeky, low-profile leather slippers reminiscent of Harry Styles’s recent ballet flats. A slim leather belt and a pair of paparazzi-averse Wayfarers only furthered the nostalgic …

Last month, Brooklyn shared an explosive online statement aimed at his parents – football icon David and former Spice Girl Victoria – accusing them of “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Peltz, whom he married in 2022. It’s since been claimed by DJ Fat Tony, who was present at the wedding, that singer Anthony was the one who called Victoria to the stage in place of Peltz and referred to the former as “the most beautiful woman in the room”, inviting her to dance with the groom. DJ Tony claimed the remark “devastated” Brooklyn and sent Peltz out …

Anthony Joshua has paid tribute to his two close friends killed in a car cash in Nigeria last year.  In an emotional video posted on social media, the 36-year-old boxer, who sustained minor injuries in the collision, called the two men “my left and my right” and said he had been through a “tragic, traumatic time”. Joshua was travelling in the back of a black SUV when it struck a stationary truck on a major road near Lagos on 29 December, killing Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
