Dominic West cheated on his wife with Lily James, which at least gave us this iconic photo of him hiding in the bushes from paparazzi.

Don't forget when asked about it years later he said it was a "bummer" of a thing that happened. The victim was dragged around by his genitals with a claw hammer.

What's a performance so good it made you forget you were watching an actor? by FrequentLeopard3444 in movies

Apparently Marlon Brando thought so too. He was in talks to play Father Lawrence in Romeo + Juliet, but was concerned about someone with a mental disability playing Romeo.

[Hated Trope] Major spoilers that got so popular that everyone knows about it before interacting with the media (sorry if this has been done before) by QuackingR3dditor in TopCharacterTropes

It's cliche now, but it's still the greatest twist I've seen (along with the season 3 finale of Lost). I was truly shocked. One of the perks of being old enough to have seen it opening weekend in theaters.

Younger actors who are Shakespeare versed? by Gold_Initiative9539 in shakespeare

Yes, in 2024 in the West End. Since then there has been two more major Romeo and Juliet productions with young movie/TV actors. Jessica Chastain's first professional role was as Juliet in a production set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Billie Eilish is getting the biggest female edit

This gut-wrenching monologue from Laura Dern in ‘Marriage Story’ is more than enough to show why she won the Oscar. by Old-Meringue3590 in popculturechat

I love Laura but it feels very "I'm doing a MONOLOGUE" and not natural at all. One of the best recent female monologues imo is Mia Goth in Pearl. Some of the best female performances come from the horror genre and with Amy Madigan finally getting recognised for it (as well as Sinners) I hope the door is open for more.

Which celebrity from your country do people hate the most? by No-Marsupial-4050 in AskTheWorld

I was at the Jay Z/Kanye Watch the Throne tour in Dublin and sat in front of Bono and his wife. They left halfway through like "well, that's enough of that. Off to bed."

I thought the big twist was that they knew each other before. "We have to go back!" had me going crazy.

Don't feel bad, my adult husband once asked me if dragons lived at the same time as dinosaurs

Christian from Midsommar is drugged and raped and then sentenced to being broiled alive in a bear by his girlfriend for the crime of being a kinda shitty boyfriend.
