Keanu Reeves Is A Man Of Few Words In ‘John Wick: Chapter 4.’ Here’s How Many.

Posted on 30/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Keanu Reeves’ embattled hit man kills scores of fellow assassins in John Wick: Chapter 4 while armed with a startling economy of verbiage.

Reeves says just 380 words in the nearly three-hour film, according to the Wall Street Journal. And some of them are mere utterances like “yeah.”

The fourth instalment of Reeves’ antihero shoot-em-up franchise earned excellent reviews and first-weekend box office numbers ― but anyone expecting a soliloquy from the Speed star will be sorely disappointed.

His longest line in the movie is delivered to a character played by Hiroyuki Sanada: “You and I left a good life behind a long time ago, my friend.”

Director Chad Stahelski told the Journal that Reeves slashed about 50 percent of Wick’s dialogue from the first script.

Reeves was no chatty Cathy in the original John Wick either, saying 448 words.

The beloved cinema icon is in good leading-man company on the less-is-more verbal front. There were reportedly just 51 spoken English words in Robert Redford’s survival-at-sea drama All Is Lost (2013).

Jeremy Renner Sits Down With Diane Sawyer In First Interview Since Near-Death Accident

Posted on 30/03/2023 by Boris Clair

The hourlong special, Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview — A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph, will chronicle both the actor’s recovery and the moment he was pulled under a 14,000-pound snowplow, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“I chose to survive,” Renner tells Sawyer in a two-minute trailer for the interview, which airs next Thursday. “You’re not going to kill me. No way.”

Renner was seriously injured on Jan. 1 while trying to save his nephew from being run over by a malfunctioning Sno-Cat after the actor exited the vehicle without setting an emergency brake, according to an incident report.

Renner told Sawyer he tried to stop the snowplow by stepping on the tracks only to be pinned underneath. He said he was “awake for every moment.”

“I’d do it again,” Renner tells Sawyer in the trailer. “Because it was going right at my nephew.”

The Marvel actor was airlifted to a local hospital with a punctured lung and 30 broken bones, including an eye socket, eight ribs (broken in 14 places), a right knee, left tibia, clavicle, right shoulder and both ankles, Renner told Sawyer.

The Sawyer special will include some of the 911 recordings capturing his agonising pain after the accident.

“I just perfectly see him in a pool of blood from his head,” Renner’s nephew recalls in the trailer. “I ran up to him. I didn’t think he was alive.”

Renner underwent multiple surgeries and has made enormous strides since then. He returned home on Jan. 16 and has posted on social media about some of his physical therapy regimen, which includes an anti-gravity treadmill.

“Much love and appreciation to you all,” Renner wrote on Instagram on Jan. 21. “These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all.”

“Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview — A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph” airs April 6 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC and streams on Hulu the next day.

Hairy Bikers Star Dave Myers Opens Up About ‘Brutal’ Side Effects Of Chemotherapy

Posted on 29/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Dave Myers has opened up about the side effects of chemotherapy, after undergoing treatment for cancer.

The Hairy Bikers chef shared he had been diagnosed with an undisclosed type of the disease in May last year.

After going through several rounds of chemo, Dave described how “brutal” if was not being able to eat after losing his appetite.

Appearing on the Seasoned podcast, host Tommy Banks asked the TV cook if he’d had to change his eating habits, to which he replied: “It’s funny, when you first start chemotherapy… it’s quite hard. I’m still having it. It really was brutal, I lost so much weight and then it’s a battle to get your calories in.

“At first I thought, ‘Right, this is great, I can eat all those pies I haven’t been eating for years’, except the appetite was dreadful!”

Dave continued: “And for me, who’s a glutton, losing my appetite was awful. A can of soup was about as far as I could go, but then it slowly comes back. And now I’ve got to the point where I’m at the weight I want to be, and I want to maintain it.

“I am starting to think very carefully about what I put in. I have to cut down on not so much butter, because I’ve got the calories in now, eating a lot more pulses, and an awful lot more beans.”

Dave went on to describe undergoing treatment over the past year as “pretty crappy”.

He added: “I think it’s about eating for the immunity, your heart, for fibre. And as you get older, well, young as well, it’s important to eat well, but still have that knack of making food tasty so you don’t feel as though it’s a penance.”

Dave, who competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, returned to TV last year and said he will resume filming the Hairy Bikers with his TV partner Si King in May.

The Seasoned podcast is available to stream now.

Gordon Ramsay Says Alan Sugar Is Talking ‘Absolute B******s’ In Row About Their BBC Shows

Posted on 25/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Gordon Ramsay has urged Alan Sugar to stop talking “absolute bollocks” amid an ongoing row about their respective BBC shows.

Last year, the TV chef launched Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars, a new TV venture on BBC One, which the Amstrad founder claimed was a “virtual rip-off” of The Apprentice.

“Last year, Gordon Ramsay had some cockamamie idea… I like Gordon and I think he’s very good and should stick to what he should do, cooking and all that stuff,” he told the Daily Mail.

“He had something, which was like, I don’t know how the lawyers allowed it because it was a virtual rip-off of The Apprentice. No disrespect to Gordon but stick to your day job mate that’s all I would say.”

In a new interview with The Sun, insisting the entrepreneur should stop “bitching” and talking “absolute bollocks”.

“He has no right to start throwing his toys out the pram,” the Kitchen Nightmares star claimed. “Do you think Simon Cowell started complaining about The Voice when he was running The X Factor? Of course he didn’t.

“There is more than enough room for both shows on the BBC. Come on Alan! Share the f–ing love!”

Gordon added: “One of his contestants who ran a cupcake firm got in touch. What is a cupcake firm going to Alan Sugar for money for? They should be coming to me.

“Anyway, she said to me, ‘I love the show, I am a huge supporter, how can I apply to come on?’. I wanted to send it and say, ‘See, you are bitching about me but your contestants are dying to come on the show!’.”

The 17th series of The Apprentice aired on BBC One earlier this week, with Alan Sugar giving a £250,000 investment to the aspiring business owner of his choosing.

Speaking to The Sun last week, Alan claimed he didn’t think Gordon’s food show would still be talked about in 17 years,

“Not even in 17 weeks’ time,” he added, but insisted: “I don’t want to start a war.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Insists Taylor Swift Didn’t Inspire One-Dollar Countersuit In Ski Accident Trial

Posted on 25/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Gwyneth Paltrow was questioned about her friendship with Taylor Swift during her ongoing trial about a skiing accident she was involved in seven years ago.

Back in 2016, the Oscar winner and a now-retired optometrist, Terry Sanderson, were involved in an incident at a ski resort in Park City, Utah.

Sanderson is suing Paltrow over the accident, claiming her “negligence” caused him to suffer “four broken ribs and permanent brain damage”. He is seeking up to $3,276,000 (around £2,688,000) in damages.

Paltrow has also filed her own counterclaim, accusing Sanderson of being responsible for the incident, and is seeking just one dollar in damages.

On Friday, the Shakespeare In Love star took to the stand for the first time, where Sanderson’s legal team asked whether her one-dollar countersuit was inspired by Taylor Swift, who was awarded the same amount in damages in a sexual assault trial in 2017.

“It’s an actual dollar that I’m asking for,” Paltrow told the jury. “It’s symbolic because the damages would actually be more.”

Asked whether Swift inspired the suit, the Goop founder insisted: “I think I said that I had not been familiar with [the Taylor Swift case] but I since am.”

When Sanderson’s team questioned whether she was friends with Swift, Paltrow responded: “No… I would not say we are good friends, we are friendly; I’ve taken my kids to one of her concerts before but we don’t talk very often.”

Terry Sanderson leaving the court earlier this week

The eight-day trial is expected to continue next week, after which a jury will make a decision.

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Unveils Huge New Tattoo Of Wife Nicola’s Face

Posted on 23/03/2023 by Boris Clair

When the Oscar winner asked her guest about his “latest tattoo”, Brooklyn rolled up his sleeve to reveal a “portrait” of Nicola on his right bicep.

“That’s my latest one,” he explained. “And I actually got, on the same day, some of the lyrics of the song that she walked down the aisle to.”

“He’s so sentimental!” J-Hud then enthused.

“My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious,” the message, inked on his back, reads. “I want you to know how deeply loved you are.

“You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always.”

Ed Sheeran Speaks Candidly About Past Issues With Disordered Eating

Posted on 21/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Ed Sheeran has spoken candidly about his past experiences of disordered eating.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, the chart-topping musician shared that in the early years of his career, he found it difficult to be compared physically to other male artists he worked with, specifically naming Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes and One Direction.

“I’m self-conscious anyway, but you get into an industry where you’re getting compared to every other pop star,” he said. “I was in the One Direction wave, and I’m like, ’Well, why don’t I have a six pack?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, because you love kebabs and drink beer.’

“Then you do songs with Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes. All these people have fantastic figures.”

He continued: “I found myself doing what Elton [John] talks about in his book — gorging, and then it would come up again.”

Ed during a performance at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

“There’s certain things that, as a man talking about them, I feel mad uncomfortable,” Ed explained. “I know people are going to see it a type of way, but it’s good to be honest about them. Because so many people do the same thing and hide it as well.”

Ed went on to tell the music publication that he has “a real eating problem”, describing himself as a “binge eater”.

“I’m a binge-everything,” he added. “But I’m now more of a binge exerciser, and a binge dad. And work, obviously.”

The NHS website describes binge eating disorder as “regularly eating a lot of food over a short period of time until you’re uncomfortably full”.

It adds that people of all ages and genders “can get binge eating disorder”, although it “usually starts in the late teens or early 20s”.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ed spoke out about his past issues with substance abuse and addiction.

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner announced his new album, – (pronounced Subtract), would be coming later this year, and was inspired by a series of events that he said “changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art” in the past 12 months.

This included his close friend Jamal Edwards’ death, as well as his wife Cherry Seaborn’s health issues, after she was diagnosed with a tumour while pregnant with their second child.

Taron Egerton Has His Say On Those James Bond Casting Rumours

Posted on 19/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Taron Egerton has ruled himself out of becoming the next James Bond, believing he’s not the “right choice” to play 007.

The Rocketman star is just one of the many names who has been linked to replacing Daniel Craig as the British spy in the iconic film franchise, but insists there have been “zero phone calls” about taking on the role.

Taron told the Daily Telegraph he thinks there are people better suited to Bond, explaining: “I don’t think I’m the right choice for it.

“You have to be consistently statuesque to be that guy. And that’s something that I am still striving for. I’ve always struggled with my weight.“
He added that Bond “is a bit like being a brand ambassador as well as being an actor”.

“That could be really fun in microcosm, but I’m sure I read that [producer] Barbara Broccoli said that it’s a 15-year commitment,” he said.

“It’s sort of irrelevant how I feel about it, anyway, because I can tell you there have been zero phone calls.”

No Time To Die, which was finally released in September 2021 after multiple Covid delays, served as Daniel’s final outing as James Bond.

He had been with the franchise since 2006, when he took the lead in Casino Royale.

Gwyneth Paltrow Responds To Backlash Over Comments About Her Eating Habits And Wellness Routine

Posted on 18/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Gwyneth Paltrow has responded to the backlash she has faced after revealing her eating habits and wellness routine during a recent podcast interview.

The Hollywood star faced criticism from dieticians and nutritionists after speaking of how her daily habits include a coffee, exercise for an hour and then bone broth for lunch, followed by an early paleo dinner.

After her comments on Dr. Will Cole’s podcast The Art of Being Well did the rounds on social media, Gwyneth has now used her Instagram Story to clarify she eats “far more than bone broth and vegetables” and she was not sharing “advice for anyone else”.

Revealing she has been experiencing post-Covid symptoms, Gwyneth said: “This is a person I’ve been working with for over two years, now, to deal with some chronic stuff.

“The way it manifests for me is very high levels of inflammation over time, so I’ve been working with Dr Cole to really focus on foods that aren’t inflammatory.”

The Sliding Doors star said she’s been eating a lot of “cooked vegetables, all kinds of proteins,” and “healthy carbs” to lower inflammation.

Gwyneth insisted that her routine had been tailored to her based on her own “medical results” and “extensive testing”, and was not something she was recommending to others.

She said: “This was a transparent conversation with me and my doctor. It’s not meant to be advice for anyone else. It’s really just works for me, and it’s been very powerful and very positive.”

The actor also said the food habits she spoke of on the podcast don’t represent the foods she eats every day.

“And by the way, I eat far more than bone broth and vegetables,” she said. “I eat full meals, and I also have a lot of days of eating whatever I want. And eating you know french fries and whatever.”

She added: “My baseline really has been to try to eat healthy and eat foods that will really calm that inflammation down.”
