You know how sometimes you meet someone who just changes how you see the world? It is what happened to me when I came across Jono Lancaster for the first time. No wonder, for this Yorkshire lad has Treacher Collins syndrome, and he is, trust me on this one, perhaps the most inspiring person you […]
Okay, let me tell you something about James Haggar: he’s the kind of bloke who doesn’t talk much. You know the type. James works behind the cameras, while his wife, Naga, is on TV every morning, making us all feel a little more awake. And what a job it is. Meet James Haggar – The […]
My daughter came home from school yesterday all frustrated. She’d been bickering with her mate over Daniel Radcliffe’s height all through lunch. “Mum, you know about celebrities; tell Jessica that Daniel Radcliffe isn’t that short!” Had to look it up myself, of course. Been following the lad since my kids were little, watching the Harry […]
So I’m at the coffee shop yesterday and doing my thing and this young barista girl starts gossiping about Millie Bobby Brown getting married. “She’s only 20!” the girl says to her mate. “That’s mental, innit?” I’m thinking, “Yeah, that is so young,” and then I remember my nan was married at 19, and she […]
Right, so last week I’m standing in Tesco, proper grumpy because they’d run out of my usual sandwich. I’m scanning the magazine shelf; you know how it is when you’re avoiding eye contact with everyone, and there’s this Life & Style mag with some mad story about a soap star’s wedding disaster. Bought it on […]
So I’m sitting there last Sunday, absolutely knackered, scrolling through Netflix with a cup of tea going cold. My sister calls and goes, “Have you watched that Queen Charlotte thing yet?” I hadn’t, obviously, been putting it off because I thought it was just more Bridgerton fluff. Two episodes in, and there’s this actor playing […]
Last Tuesday, I was having a pint with my mate Arthur when he showed me this photo on his phone. “Look at this geezer,” he said. I nearly choked on my beer. It was Jelly Roll, but not the Jelly Roll I remembered from years back. This version looked like he’d literally shrunk by half. […]
Remember when Melissa McCarthy used to hide behind oversized blazers? I do. My mum and I watched her films religiously. “She’s so funny,” Mum would say. “But she looks tired.” Fast forward to 2024. McCarthy shows up looking like a completely different person. Not just thinner. Brighter. Like someone had switched the lights back on. […]
Many celebrities have moved on from the world of acting and presenting to the world of business. Their stories are a testament to what passion, hard work and vision can help create. They have become successful entrepreneurs and clearly made a mark. We aren’t talking about celebrities who merely endorsed a product or lent their […]
When you think of actors who are capable of actually becoming someone else onscreen, Gary Oldman is the first name that comes to mind. He’s one of those rare talents who throws himself so fully into his roles that you sometimes forget you’re watching him at all. Oldman’s career has spanned over 40 years, from […]
Thinking of going to drama school in the UK? You’re not alone. Every year, thousands of young people (and some not-so-young ones too) set their sights on becoming actors, stage managers, voice artists, and all sorts of other theatre folk. And the UK? It’s one of the best places to learn the craft. From Shakespeare […]
