OHMYGOSSIP — Sally Rooney “isn’t comfortable” being famous.
The 33-year-old author was propelled to global notoriety with her novel ‘Normal People’ – which was later adapted into a hit miniseries starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal – but admitted that she doesn’t enjoy the side of marketing her work once it is done.
She told The Sunday Times: “I don’t have any interest in marketing my books. And I certainly don’t answer interview questions with the intention of selling my book to readers. Whenever I publish a novel I feel obliged to answer questions about it —as if it would be poor form not to. A lot of people seem to want to ask me questions, and if I refused to answer I would feel like a politician refusing to do a press conference. Which is obviously silly. Maybe I ought not answer any questions at all. But I feel like it’s a way of remaining loyal to my work and not shying away from it.
“I wouldn’t say that I enjoy publishing books. I enjoy writing them. I understand I am lucky to be in a position where my books are published and allow me to earn a living. I absolutely know and feel how blessed I am to be able to spend years working on a single book with no one bothering me about when it will be finished. But the publication period is a source of stress for me. And I think that’s because I’m not comfortable in the public eye and I worry that I’m not a very good ambassador for my work.
The ‘Conversations With Friends’ author also noted that anything that she put into the public domain via an interview is a source of embarrassment for her but she would feel “guilty” if she were to publish her work without any promotion.
She said: “If I ever have to read back over an interview I’ve given, I always want the earth to swallow me. Whereas when I read over my fiction, I feel like it stands up. I like my books. I just don’t like the version of me who appears in the newspapers every three or four years to talk about them. But if I didn’t do that I would feel guilty, like I was sending my book out into the world alone. Like a bad parent. That’s the conundrum I find myself grappling with when it’s time to publish a book. Which is a relatively rare occurrence. The vast majority of my working life is devoted to writing — and I am truly grateful for that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hayden Panettiere is open to getting married.
The 35-year-old actress split from her boxer partner Wladimir Klitschko, 48, in 2018 after nine years together, and even though she now feels “content” with her place in life, the ‘Heroes’ star revealed she would be open to walking down the aisle with the “right person”.
When PEOPLE magazine asked Panettiere if the idea of marriage was on the table, she said: “For the right person, yes.
“Though there’s a certain place I would want both of us to be in our lives.”
The ‘Nashville’ star stressed she was focused on her nine-year-old daughter Kaya – whom she has with Klitschko – and gushed about how proud she was of her.
The actress said: “She does so many things. She golfs, she plays chess. She’s been dancing since she was little and loves singing.
“I have a video of her singing ‘Moana’ that would make you laugh our butt off. And horses are her life.”
Looking inwards, Panettiere shared she had striving to better herself by working out with her person trainer Marine Alton, whom she also calls her “life coach”.
The actress said: “It’s been so good for my mental health.”
Even so, Panettiere admitted she hasn’t ever been a fan of exercise.
She conceded: “I’ve always hated worked out.
“I never really had to do it before because I was playing sports or getting exercise on sets.
“I had the most amazing legs when I was filming ‘Nashville’ because I had to wear these high, high heels, and I’d given my character Juliette Barnes this little sideways walk she’d do when she performed, and it was basically like doing squads all day.”
The ‘Scream VI’ actress gushed about her trainer, and emphasised Alton had “empowered” her to embrace herself and look past her insecurities.
She said: “These long, beautiful walks where we could vent, and it would be this therapy session.”
“She empowered me.
“My body just started reacting, not just from the working out. It allowed me to release the stress, the high expectations I’d always put on myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Zandra Rhodes kept her cancer diagnosis private to avoid losing work.
The 84-year-old fashion and textile designer – who has worked with the likes of Queen legend Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana over the course of her career – was given six months to live in 2020 when doctors discovered a tumour in her bile duct and kept schtum as she underwent an intense course of treatment during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
She told The Observer magazine: ““It was COVID then, so I realised no one need know, and I decided not to tell anyone because if people knew I wouldn’t get any more work!”
Zandra – who declared earlier this year that she is now in remission – believes that work and life are so “entwined” that the shock diagnosis actually made her “focus” on the kind of legacy she would like to leave behind as she set about establishing the The Zandra Rhodes Foundation to inspire future generations of designers.
She said: “I think the two are so entwined… And I don’t think I had time for that bit. “It was very positive, actually. I feel like it was a warning, that I had to get my life in order, get everything done. It made me focus. And if it wasn’t for that I’d have never formed a foundation and never found out I had 6,000 dresses all hidden away that now I’m sending to museums across the world, never finished the book. So… it’s been rather wonderful, really.”
The Emmy Award-winning star has never been married, and chose not to have children but admitted her unorthodox choices have given her the chance to live a “fabulous” life.
She said: “My sister has four children and is a wonderful mother. I am a successful fashion designer who has led a very different but fabulous life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince William was a “fantastic support” to the Middleton family in their early days of fame.
The 42-year-old royal met Catherine, Princess of Wales in the days that she was known as Kate Middleton during their time at university and the pair tied the knot in 2011 but her brother James Middleton, 37, has recalled how the prince helped them all through the “pressure” of adjusting to global notoriety amid his struggles with mental health.
He told The Sunday Times: “William was a fantastic support for us as a family. He did everything he could to protect us from the intense interest, not just in Catherine, but also her immediate family. But at that time I was already in a vulnerable state of mind and it was an added pressure.”
James – who is now married to Alizée Thevenet and has son Inigo, 11 months, with her – was then asked to give a Bible reading at the wedding of William and Catherine – which was televised and received an audience of 162 million viewers from around the world – and recalled that it was such an “honour” that his sister had asked him to do it in the first place, although he noted that the anticipation was just like any other family wedding he has been to.
He said: “I’d never seen a royal wedding.
“There hadn’t been one in my lifetime. Not a big one anyway. I wasn’t aware of the scale or the global interest. I just felt privileged that my sister was asking me to do it, and it meant something to her. I wanted to make sure I did it. Really, the build-up to Catherine’s wedding was no different to Pippa’s or other friends’ weddings.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Coleen and Wayne Rooney have had to make their marriage work long-distance.
The 38-year-old star has been married to footballer Wayne, also 38, since 2008 and has Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass with him but when the former Manchester United player started his role as manager for Plymouth Argyle, the couple decided that leaving their Chesire home together just wasn’t practical.
She told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: “We see him a couple of times a week, which is good. He went to America, so this is a bonus because even though it seems like far away, it’s easier to get to than Washington, DC.
“There’s lots of FaceTime and he always phones when we’re going out of the door in the morning. I’m like, ‘Just wait till we’re in the car. I’ve got no time!’ We thought long and hard about it (moving to Devon) but with the kids it didn’t work.
“Kai’s now in year 10 and just starting GCSE prep and everything’s going well with football, and the other boys are all settled at school, so it didn’t seem fair on the children to pick them up and take them away, and start in a whole new place. It’s manageable. It’s life. Other couples and families have similar situations and have to get on with it.”
Coleen first started dating Wayne when they were teenagers and was catapulted into the public eye when his football career took off but admitted that she had to “grow up quick” and is now “protective” of her own kids when it comes to modern issues like social media.
She said: “I was wise for my age but I had to grow up quick. I wouldn’t say I am more protective of him (Kai), I would say it opens your eyes that things can happen young and to make them aware.
“When Wayne was coming up, he wasn’t on social media, whereas now there’s a lot more of that and that’s where you’ve got to prepare the kids for if they do go on to be successful.
“But the football academy they are in, and school as well, they have workshops and they prepare the kids for what you should and shouldn’t do on social media. It’s always good to nip in the bud earlier than later.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Gilmore Girls’ actor Scott Cohen and his wife thought they were “dead” when they were caught in a high-speed car chase.
The actor, 62, and his partner Anastasia Traina were on their way home in Brooklyn, New York, on 29 June when they were struck in a head-on collision by the suspect in the police chase.
Scott has now told Page Six about the incident: “We thought we were dead. My wife’s arm is all messed up.
“I have a broken sternum, which is supposed to be never-healing. It’s like called a non-union break, and it’s never going to heal.”
Police pulled over a male driver for a routine traffic stop in Astoria, Queens, before the chase that left Scott and his wife injured.
The suspect suddenly took off with cops pursuing him and sped into Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which is where he collided with Scott’s car – with the suspect’s vehicle bursting into flames before he ran off and exchanged gunfire with the police.
It is still unclear if the fugitive was ever caught, and after the accident Scott posted photos of himself in hospital and his mangled car.
He said in a caption about the incident it woke him up to the “fragility of us” and “how life can change in an instant”.
Scott added online in a post about his and his wife’s recovery: “With broken bones, bruised bodies, lots of drugs, and the impact of a random act of aggression that hit us we venture on.
“I’m very p***** my existence right now is about healing but at the same time truly grateful @afunnybunnypicture and I are both here to experience the love and incredible generosity of friends and family.”
Scott, who played lead character Lorelai Gilmore’s love interest Max Medina on ‘Gilmore Girls’ from 2000 to 2003, is currently starring in ‘The Penguin’ spin-off show from 2022’s ‘The Batman’ film, which is streaming on Max and stars Colin Farrell, 48, as villain Oz Cobb – aka The Penguin – as he battles to seize control of Gotham’s organised crime.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman is “good” as she deals with her grief over her mother’s death.
The actress, 57, was left reeling by the passing of her mum Janelle Kidman, whose death she announced hours before she was awarded a best actress award for her role in her new movie ‘Babygirl’ at the Venice Film Festival on 8 September.
Her husband Keith Urban, 56, has now told The Times when asked how his family was coping with the shock: “Yeah, everybody’s good, man. Thank you for asking.”
Keith did not add further comment on the death of his mother-in-law.
Nicole’s shock over her mother’s death was announced by director Halina Reijn, 48, at the Venice Film Festival.
The filmmaker – who is behind Nicole’s raunchy new movie ‘Babygirl’ – read a statement to fans from Nicole that said: “Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed.
“I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.
“I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken.
“We love you all.”
Nicole is currently on screens in Amazon Prime’s new thriller ‘Perfect Couple’, alongside actors including Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning and Eve Hewson, and spoke out about how she takes comfort from working in an ensemble cast.
The actress, who stars as writer Greer Garrison Winbury in the drama, told author Elin Hilderbrand and Tim Ehrenberg on their podcast ‘Books, Beach, and Beyond’ about working on the show – which isadapted from Elin’s 2018 novel of the same name: “I love working in an ensemble because you have so many different characters on set and watching everybody and getting to know everyone.
“I just spoke to Dakota the other day going, ‘You’re so good at this’.
“And Liev, but also Eve is just such a delight… I think she’s just so intoxicating.
“You’re all working together as an acting troupe. And that’s the thing I love most.”
Nicole and 56-year-old Liev – who plays a character called Tag Winbury in ‘The Perfect Couple’ – star as an apparently loved-up pair on the show who are thrust into a murder probe when a body washes ashore as they prepare for their son’s wedding in Nantucket.

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine, Princess of Wales has made her first public appearance since completing chemotherapy.
The royal mother-of-three, 42, told the world she was “cancer free” in a statement released on 9 September, and marked her continuing journey back to public life by attending a church service on Sunday (22.09.24) with her husband Prince William, 42, and other members of the royal family at Crathie Kirk Church near Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Catherine was seen in photographs published by The Sun flashing a brief smile as she sat in the passenger seat of a car beside William, who was driving their vehicle.
She was wearing a dark green wide-brimmed hat with feathers on the side and a brown tartan checked coat, while William wore a dark suit for the event.
King Charles, 75, who is still fighting an undisclosed form of cancer, and his wife Queen Camilla, 77, were also seen going into the church in separate cars.
Catherine’s appearance is her first since announcing earlier this month that she finished her chemotherapy treatment, which she first revealed she was undergoing in March.
The princess, who has children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis with William said in her statement on finishing her preventative cancer treatment it was a “relief” to have completed it.
She added: “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you… this time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Björn Ulvaeus has married for a third time.
The ABBA singer, 79, got hitched on Saturday (21.09.24) in Copenhagen to his 51-year-old Danish partner of two years Christina Sas, with former ‘Great British Bake Off’ host Sandi Toksvig, 66, officiating their ceremony.
Björn – who declared his 41-year marriage to his second wife, music journalist Lena Kallersjo, 75, was over a year after he met Christina – announced the news he had said “I do” to his third wife by sharing a string of photos from their big day on his Instagram.
He captioned the professionally-taken images, which showed him in a black suit and white T-shirt, and Christina wearing a khaki dress: “Today on the 21st of September 2024, Björn Ulvaeus married Christina Sas from Herning, Denmark.
“They met in Nürnberg in 2021 in connection with the release of ABBA’s last album ‘Voyage’ and started dating in the spring of 2022.
“The wedding took place in Copenhagen in the presence of close friends and family.
“Sandi Toksvig, Anne Linnet and Kaya Brüel generously performed and made the evening extra special.”
Sandi was seen in Björn’s set of snaps wearing a red clerical robe and wearing a microphone.
The singer met when Christina while she was working for ABBA’s label Universal in Germany.
In February 2022 Björn and his second wife Lena, with whom he has daughters Emma, 42, and Anna, 38, said they were splitting in a joint statement.
It said: “After many wonderful and eventful years, we have decided to go our separate ways.
“We remain close friends and will continue to celebrate our grandchildren’s birthdays and other family holidays together.”
Father-of-for Björn’s first wife was his ABBA bandmate Agnetha Faltskog, to who he was married from 1971 to 1979, and with whom he had children Linda, 49, and 44-year-old Peter.
They described their break-up as a “happy divorce”, but Agnetha later needed counselling and their pain over the split was the subject of ABBA’s hit ‘The Winner Takes It All’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Munn and John Mulaney have had their second child together.
The actress, 44, and her 42-year-old comic husband – who had their son Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney in November 2021 – made the announcement they are parents again on Instagram on Sunday (22.09.24), months after they married in July in an intimate ceremony at a friend’s home in New York.
Olivia captioned a snap of her sitting on John’s knee while cradling her newborn: “Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon (dragon emoji.)
“I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother.
“She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel.
“Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for nine months and made our dreams come true.
“I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded.”
Olivia signed off her post by saying Méi is “pronounced May” and “means plum in Chinese”.
John also announced he was a father again on his Instagram, saying in his post about the news: “Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon (dragon emoji.)
“We stole so much stuff from the hospital. I love my little girl so much.”
John also highlighted the correct pronunciation and meaning of his daughter’s name.
Olivia told in April how she had suffered a “terrifying” breast cancer diagnosis a year earlier, which resulted in four surgeries, a double mastectomy and medically induced menopause.
She also had an egg retrieval procedure in June 2023 followed by breast reconstruction in September that year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rupert Everett tries to avoid his reflection as he ages.
The 65-year-old actor, who had an early role in a stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s morality play about the evils of vanity, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, added he can no longer take alcohol as he ages – but drinks anyway as he craves it at 5pm every day.
He told The Mail on Sunday when asked what he sees when he looks in the mirror: “Oh, I never look in the mirror if I can help it.”
Rupert added about the disadvantages of ageing: “Your liver is just not as strong when you’re older. You’re tipsy quicker.
“And your recovery period is longer. Old age is much better approached without alcohol, if you can do it.
“But the thing is, at five o’clock in the evening, every nerve ending in my body is craving a drink.”
Rupert also admitted even though he “wouldn’t change anything” about his life and career he “certainly” has regrets.
The actor also confessed he married his long-term boyfriend, Henrique, a Brazilian accountant, in May at a ceremony at Camden Town Hall in London due to the fact he is getting older.
He said: “Well, I’m old and I might die and there’s more protection for your other half if you’re married.
“We’ve been together for a long time, and it felt like the best thing to do.”
The star also insisted he is no longer connected with other famous faces, unlike in his earlier partying years.
He added: “I don’t know anybody. I mean, I really don’t any more. I’m keeping going but I don’t go to parties or anything like that.
“I’m like a bicycle without brake pads now. I’m careering down the hill and I’m putting on the brakes and nothing’s happening.
“The older you get, the more shrill and anxious you become.
“You become more fearful about everything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Margaret Qualley says making her edgy new film ‘The Substance’ took her way out of her “comfort zone”.
The actress, 29, who is the daughter of ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ actress Andie MacDowell, 66, shot to fame thanks to her roles in ‘The Leftovers’ and ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’, and has now opened up about the challenges of shooting her latest role alongside 61-year-old Demi Moore.
She told People about how the body-horror film, directed by Coralie Fargeat, 48, was “really outside of my comfort zone”: “I guess, for me, it’s something I’ve really never done.
“I think I’ve intentionally gone the other direction throughout my career.
“I knew it was going to be a big challenge for me.”
But Margaret added the nudity in the movie was not exploitative and “very much serves the purpose of this story”.
She added: “It’s a road you have to go down in order to bring this to life. And I was excited about that challenge.”
Margaret has told how she got “wasted” on drugs and tequila to get through filming one particularly raunchy scene in ‘The Substance’.
She told The Sunday Times: “That specific kind of sexuality doesn’t lend itself to me.”
Margaret added she cried in a bathroom when she first rehearsed a scene in which her TV aerobics instructor character Sue does a sexed-up dance wearing a skimpy workout outfit because she felt “so deeply ashamed” making it.
She went on about how she added marijuana and alcohol into the emotional mix to get through the shoot: “And still, day of, I just got wasted first thing in the morning because I was like, I can’t do this in front of everybody.”
Margaret’s Sunday Times profile said “a combination of weed and tequila provided Dutch courage” helped her cope with the scene.
‘The Substance’ tells of Demi as a washed-up fitness guru who takes a mystery black market drug to create a younger, sexier version of herself, played by Margaret.

OHMYGOSSIP — Janet Jackson is sorry she questioned US Vice President Kamala Harris’ race.
The singer, 58, was met with a huge backlash over the weekend after she falsely claimed during an interview with The Guardian the 59-year-old Democrat wasn’t black, in an echo of a right-wing conspiracy theory.
On Sunday (22.09.24) the Grammy winner issued an apology statement for her remarks to People, which said: “Janet Jackson acknowledges that her recent comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation. She extends her sincerest apologies for any confusion caused and reaffirms her respect for Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian.”
“Janet remains committed to fostering unity, inclusion, and understanding and is grateful for the opportunity to clarify her stance.
“She will continue to use her platform to support leaders who represent diversity and progress.”
Janet made her controversial remark about Kamala in her chat with The Guardian, which was published on Saturday (21.09.24), when her interviewer said the politician could become the first black woman to be elected US president.
Janet replied: “Well, you know what they supposedly said? She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
When the Guardian reporter told Janet that Kamala is actually both, the singer falsely declared: “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days.
“I was told that they discovered her father was White.”
The singer added she wasn’t sure if the US was “ready” for a “woman of colour” as leader in the White House, adding: “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know.
“I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.”
Kamala’s mother Dr Shyamala Gopalan was raised in India and her father Donald J Harris, immigrated from Jamaica to study economics at the University of California in Berkeley, which is where he met Shyamala.
Kamala’s US presidential election rival Donald Trump, 78, previously sparked outrage when he made false claims about Harris’ race at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in July, saying she “became a Black person”.
He said: “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting the Indian heritage.
“I didn’t know she was black, until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she black?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lizzo has hit back at a troll for asking if her weight loss was caused by Ozempic or cocaine use.
The singer, 36, has recently been documenting her weight loss journey with photo updates for her fans on Instagram, and has now revealed that just months into her lifestyle overhaul she has been hit by body-shaming accusations.
She posted the Ozempic troll’s comment on her Instagram alongside another post sharing their profile.
Lizzo said the male fan had asked her: “‘oZeMpIc oR cOkE? (four crying face emojis.) she wrote in the caption.
The ‘Good as Hell’ singer then uploaded videos of herself in the same carousel of images showing her wearing a red bathrobe.
She captioned one of the clips: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”
Lizzo also joked the allegations she was on diabetes drug Ozempic or cocaine to lose weight were “like a reward” after she has spent months in the gym.
In the audio of Lizzo’s clip, rapper Nicki Minaj could be heard hitting back at people commenting on her appearance – with Lizzo mouthing along to the 41-year-old performer’s voice: “The fact that you would even discuss my looks is insane. “I’m a bad b****, always been a bad b****.”
Lizzo’s followers raced to support her in her battle against the troll, with droves of them uploading comments backing her.
One said about the singer’s decision to share her troll’s profile with her 11.7 million followers: “Love calling people out and not blocking out their names or anything it’s about time.”
Another of her fans said in the comments section of Lizzo’s post: “And even if it WAS Ozempic, ITs OKAY!!!!!”
Yet another supporter told Lizzo: “I love the public call out! He f***** around and found out!”
Lizzo – born Melissa Viviane Jefferson – has been stripping down to her underwear to show off her reduced curves as she continues to get fit.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman’s husband has already binge watched her entire new show.
The actress, 57, is starring as writer Greer Garrison Winbury in Amazon Prime’s new thriller drama series ‘Perfect Couple’, and her musician partner, 56, said he got so hooked he watched it in one go.
He told People about how he watched it when he got a preview screening: “I saw the whole thing before it came out – binged it.
“It’s been amazing. I’ve had so many people stop me and say how much they love it.”
The six-episode limited series is a murder mystery based on The New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand’s novel ‘Perfect Couple’, and sees Nicole’s writer character married to Liev Schreiber’s Tag Winbury, with the on-screen couple enjoying a wealthy life in Nantucket at the start of the show.
Their lives are soon turned into chaos and they are thrust into a murder probe when a body washes ashore as they prepare for their son’s wedding.
Keith, who married Nicole in 2006, added even though he knows how it ends up he refuses to share spoilers.
He said: “I’m the best secret keeper you’ll ever meet. I’ll go to my grave with secrets.”
Nicole is grieving the death of her mother Janelle Kidman, whose death she announced hours before she was awarded a best actress award for her role in her new movie ‘Babygirl’ at the Venice Film Festival on 8 September.
Keith said in an interview with The Times when asked how she was coping with the shock: “Yeah, everybody’s good, man. Thank you for asking.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rupert Everett has slammed the state of modern movies.
The 65-year-old actor has racked up more than 50 film appearances during his career and has been nominated for BAFTAs and Golden Globes for his roles in movies including ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ and 1999’s ‘An Ideal Husband’.
He has now blasted today’s “mainstream” films as jokes, telling the Mail on Sunday the genre has “fallen off the edge of a cliff”.
His Mail profile said he thought ‘Barbie’ was overrated and ‘Oppenheimer’ was “like a French and Saunders sketch”.
He added: “What would you call the mainstream of today? There aren’t really 90-minute movies any more.”
Rupert also slated streaming giants’ TV series offerings, saying: “They kind of urge you to stay in your room and be up all night watching 18 episodes.
“You can’t get a grip on the narrative in the same way as you can in a film or play. And we’re so numbed!
“You have to more or less put a grenade up someone’s bum and set it off to get any reaction at all.”
Rupert also blasted he thinks reality TV shows have killed British culture.
He said he a “rough and tumble quality” has disappeared from UK arts offerings, adding: “I think The X Factor changed it. I think (Simon Cowell) is responsible for a cultural deadening.”
Rupert also said one of his biggest career regrets was not focusing more on his theatre work when he was younger.
He added: “I should have probably concentrated harder on the stage. I was always trying to turn myself into the conventional Hollywood star I wanted to be when I was a kid.
“I wanted to be Tom Cruise! But I was a 6ft 5in beanpole looking like a cross between Snow White and Anne Frank.
“So there was no way I was going to be able to compress myself into that role. “It’s not that I was doing nothing, but I was doing everything in the wrong direction.”
