Katie Price reveals Harvey's horrifying injury

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price’s son Harvey was hospitalised for three months after burning himself with hot water.
The 38-year-old reality TV star has opened up about the horrifying moment she discovered her injured son screaming in pain, during an accident which happened when she was still married to Peter Andre, who she split from in 2009.
Speaking on ITV show ‘Loose Women’, about Harvey, now 14, Katie said: “He, being obsessed with water, had come into the bathroom, turned on the hot tap, didn’t realise as he couldn’t see and he burnt the whole of his leg.
“If you ever see his leg it’s properly scarred, to the point where his toes were like snot.
When I [pulled off his clothes], all skin and blood came out. The screams, I’d never heard it before, he was gouging at his leg.”
Katie tried to stay calm as she called an ambulance for Harvey, who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome’ (PWS), a rare genetic condition that causes a wide range of problems.
She said: “His body can’t cope with stress, he can die from it so he has an emergency injection, so I shouted for Pete to come up. I had to stay really calm so when I called the ambulance I made sure I gave them my address first.
“I told them, ‘Look he’s got to have this injection, if he doesn’t he could die, you have to get here quick.'”
Harvey also suffers from septo-optic dysplasia, which has left him partially-sighted, and Katie previously claimed a factor in the severity of his conditions is that he wasn’t given medication when he was younger as medics missed the fact he had a limited pituitary gland.
She said: “I’ve never cried about the fact he’s blind but I’ve [been] more protective… It’s just so weird, I’ve always had that bond, everyone always thinks he’s my favourite but it’s not that, I just feel protective.
“We’ve gone from this journey and then the hospital did admit it was their fault, when they did an MRI scan they missed out his pituitary gland and starved him from the medication he needs, which gave him a bit of brain damage, but you can’t sue the hospital because you need them, the NHS, for the rest of his life, so we just deal with it as it is.”

Britney Spears made the first move on boyfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Britney Spears made the first move on her new boyfriend.
The 35-year-old pop star hit it off with her latest beau Sam Asghari, 22, on the set of the music video for her single ‘Slumber Party’ last year and asked him out a few months later because she found him “cute”.
Speaking to Nathan Fast on radio station AMP 103.7, she said: “We were waiting and waiting together for 20 minutes at a time, literally stuck there, [while filming the video]. We were forced to talk to each other.
“He doesn’t really know me as a person, and I have no idea who the hell he is, and we were just talking.
“I kept his number, and it was so weird because it was like five months later that I found his number in my bag. I was like ‘He was really cute. This guy was really cute!’ so then I called him. He is just a really fun, funny person.”
The blonde beauty – who has sons Sean, 11, and Jayden, 10, with ex-husband Kevin Federline – first sparked reports of a romance with the personal trainer in November when they were spotted having dinner together, and quickly became “totally smitten”.
A source said previously: “This is the longest Britney has ever been out of a serious relationship and she’s made no secret of the fact that she’s been desperately lonely. She’s been quietly dating for the past year, but Sam is the first man she’s met who has swept her off her feet and she’s totally smitten.”
The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker’s romance with Sam came after she revealed she was tired of men playing “mind games”, and really wanted to settle down with a “nice guy”.
She said: “A lot of men are about games. It’s just the mind game with guys, the calling back and texting, it’s just too much, it’s silly. Actually, I’m not looking for men right now, I’m really happy with myself. I’m not looking for anything, I’m fine with the way I am.
“I like someone that’s just nice overall, just a nice guy really is groundbreaking in this world.”

Charlotte McKinney 'just friends' with Scott Eastwood

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte McKinney and Scott Eastwood are “just friends”.
Although the ‘Baywatch’ beauty was romantically linked to the 30-year-old actor in 2015, she insisted their relationship is purely platonic.
She said: “We talk all the time. He’s always filming somewhere, I’m doing something, so whenever we can see each other, we see each other. But [he’s] just a good friend of mine.”
However, the 23-year-old actress and model, who split from Stephen Dorff, 43, last year after over a year of dating, admitted that she is looking for love.
Speaking to E! News, she said: “I am so, so single right now. It’s so funny. I’m like, even in hair and makeup, I’m like, ‘I am so single, it’s crazy.’ Usually I have some little things here and there.
“Starting this year off, I’ve been really focused on work. But I’m really out there. I’m open, I’m here!”
And she knows exactly what kind of man she wants.
She explained: “A lot of people know, for me, my biggest thing is humour. A funny guy and that doesn’t take themselves too serious and who doesn’t talk about themselves all day. That’s what I find in LA- that every guy…so there’s a lot of guys who just, yeah, just overdo it on themselves.”

Patsy Kensit played catch with Elizabeth Taylor's Krupp Diamond

OHMYGOSSIP — Patsy Kensit has revealed Dame Elizabeth Taylor let her play catch with her $8.8 million Krupp Diamond.
The 48-year-old actress has been working in showbiz since she was just four years old and at the age of seven she was cast as Mytyl in George Cukor’s fantasy film ‘The Blue Bird’ in which the late screen icon portrayed the Queen of Light.
In between takes, Taylor took a shine to young Patsy and would let her play with the 33.19-carat diamond that was bought for her by her two-time husband Richard Burton in 1968.
As a child, Patsy had no idea what she was holding in her hands but she can recall her mother Margaret being terrified she would lose the precious gemstone.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she shared: “Me and Elizabeth Taylor would play catch with her Krupp Diamond and she used to let me wear it, too. I remember my mother’s heart being in her mouth because she always thought I was going to lose it.”
The Krupp Diamond, now known as the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond, was among a number of significant pieces of jewellery owned by ‘Cleopatra’ star Taylor; her expensive collection also included the 68-carat Taylor-Burton Diamond, which was bought by the couple in 1969.
After Taylor’s death in March 2011, The Krupp Diamond was sold by her estate later that same year for $8.8 million.
Patsy – who can currently be seen in ITV drama series ‘Tina and Bobby’ about late England soccer captain Sir Bobby Moore alongside Michelle Keegan – met many major stars in her childhood and she can vividly remember going to ballet lessons on Saturdays at the Bolshoi Ballet and seeing acclaimed Soviet ballerina Ludmila Semenyaka.
The ‘Lethal Weapon 2’ actress said: “It was fantastic, although I was no swan, believe me. I remember Ludmila Semenyaka, who was the prima ballerina, arriving in this full-length fur coat. I was just smitten.”

Adele to perform at the 2017 Grammy Awards

OHMYGOSSIP — Adele will perform at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
The 28-year-old singer will take to the stage to belt out a track from her multi-platinum selling album ’25’ at the prestigious ceremony which is being hosted by James Corden at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, on February 12.
This will be Adele’s fourth performance at the Grammys having previously sang at the event in 2009, 2012 and 2016.
And she has a great chance to walk away from the show with a trophy as she has been nominated in five categories including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance for her 2015 single ‘Hello’, whilst her album ’25’ will be in the category for Best Pop Vocal Album against Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ among others.
Adele – who has four-year-old son Angelo with her partner Simon Konecki – will be hoping her 2017 appearance goes better than last year’s rendition of ‘All I Ask’ which was plagued by technical issues.
Speaking about the vocalist’s bad luck, Neil Portnow – the President of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), the body that organises the Grammys – previously said: “We had the most complicated show on television. Period. End of story. With each musical performance, we change over the microphones, the wires. I mean, if you’ve been backstage – I can’t understand how they get it done, but they do. All credit to her for how professional she is. Adele did a great job and we certainly don’t like when those things happen, but those things happen sometimes.”
Metallica, John Legend, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban have all also been confirmed as performers for the 2017 Grammys.

Madonna hopes for election unity

OHMYGOSSIP — Madonna hopes Donald Trump’s election will “bring people together”.
The ‘Rebel Heart’ hitmaker – who was a vocal supporter of the President-elect’s rival Hillary Clinton – thinks the former ‘Apprentice’ star’s appointment as commander-in-chief is a sign that US citizens have grown too complacent about their “freedom” and is hoping political changes will bring about wider change.
Speaking on a panel l at the Brooklyn Talks at the Brooklyn Museum of Art on Thursday (19.01.17), she said: “It had to happen. I do believe that Trump was elected for a reason; to show us how lazy and ununified and lackadaisical we’ve become about our freedom.
“They say it’s always darkest before the dawn. I feel like it had to happen to bring people together. Let’s get the party started!”
And the 58-year-old singer thinks Trump, 70, is doing the US a “great service” in being the next president and urged people to follow her in using his appointment to make progress, rather than opt for “destruction”.
She said: “We’ve gone as low as we can go. We can only go up from here.
“We have two choices: destruction and creation. I’m going down the road of creation and you are all welcome to join me
“I’m going to slap any man who doesn’t say they’re a feminist.”
Elsewhere during the evening, the ‘Vogue’ hitmaker dismissed constant “absurd” rumours of a feud between her and Lady Gaga.
She joked: “I’ve been supposedly in a fight with Lady Gaga since she was born. It’s absurd. My biggest naysayers have been women.”
Madonna recently admitted the election results left her with a broken heart.
She said: “I went to sleep and since that night, I wake up every morning and it’s like when you break up with somebody who has really broken your heart. You wake up and for a second you’re just you, and then you go, ‘Oh, the person I love more than anything has just broken my heart, and I’m devastated and I’m broken and I have nothing. I’m lost.’ ”

Pharrell still in Oscars shock

OHMYGOSSIP — Pharrell Williams still “can’t believe” he performed at the Oscars.
The 43-year-old musician had a number of huge stars dancing along when he sang his huge hit ‘Happy’ at the Academy Awards in 2016 and he admits it is still “weird” looking back on the experience as he can’t believe how far he’s come.
He said: “I couldn’t believe it was happening. It was so weird, me on that stage. Like, what?
“Man, Meryl Streep was awesome. I mean, come on! I’m a Tribe Called Quest fan from Virginia, and I was like, ‘I’m where, doing what? Whoa.’ It’s still ‘whoa’. I still can’t believe it.”
Pharrell – who has eight-year-old son Rocket with wife Helen Lasichanh – admits he gets approached to star in movies but he isn’t interested in a film career as it requires a “different skill set” and he worries about a character taking over his life.
He told Vulture: “I mean, we get the offers, but I’m juggling enough, you know what I’m saying? I’m grateful for the bowling pins that I have.
“I like being an antenna for music, but being an antenna for personalities and character is a different skill set.
“Sometimes you can let something in and have a hard time letting it out — we’ve seen that with a lot of actors and actresses, where they end up badly because they allow those personalities to come in. As an actor, you’re not just entertaining — you’re channeling.”
Pharrell – who produced and worked on the soundtrack for new film ‘Hidden Figures’, which centres on three African-American women who worked for NASA at the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing -recently admitted he believes women can “save the world”.
He said: “I don’t know what I could do, but I know if women wanted to, they could save this nation. If women wanted to, they could save the world.”

The ‘Shades of Blue’ star – who is rumoured to be dating Drake – is thankful her careers is going well, her eight-year-old twins Max and Emme, who she has with ex-husband Marc Anthony, are “thriving” and she is able to spend a lot of time with her family.
She said: “I’m very happy right now. I feel so fortunate. The kids are doing great — they’re in school and they’re thriving. That makes me the happiest of all. Mommy gets to be creative and I’m home to them every night, so it’s all good.”
Though she has two successful TV shows, a Las Vegas residency and is currently recording new music, the former ‘American Idol’ judge insists she isn’t perfect, but would rather not focus on the things she can’t do.
She laughed to ‘Extra’: “There are many [things] that I can’t do. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about the things I can do!”
The 47-year-old beauty recently admitted that “everything” she does is for her kids.
She said: Everything I do is for them.
“Once you have kids, it’s a whole different world. You go along as an actress or performer in this business and it’s [always] ‘Me, me, me. My business, my career, my things. What am I going to do next?’
“When you have kids it becomes not about you, it becomes about them and what’s going to make them happy and what’s going to make them better, and what’s going to be better for them.”
And the ‘Ain’t Your Mama’ hitmaker admits she’s scared of “failing” her children.
She added: “Your whole [life] changes and it’s this beautiful, freeing kind of loving feeling.
“Things get, in a way, easier, because you know what’s important. But also harder, because you just don’t want to ever fail them.”

Sam Bailey tips Katie Price's son Junior for pop superstardom

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Bailey has tipped Katie Price’s son Junior to be a pop megastar.
The 2013 ‘X Factor’ winner is close pals with TV personality and often goes round to visit Katie, Kieran and her five children – Harvey, 14, Junior, 11, Princess, nine, Jett, three and Bunny, two.
Sam has witnessed Junior – whose dad is ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker Peter Andre – singing on several occasions and has seen lots of video clips of him performing around his house and she thinks he has what it takes to reach the top of the charts because he has an “amazing” singing voice.
During an appearance on ITV daytime show ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (20.01.17) – on which Katie was a panellist – Sam said: “Her kid Junior has the most amazing voice, he’s going to be a star.”
Sam and Katie have been friends for the past few years and regularly see each other.
However, the ‘Skyscraper’ singer insists her cosmetic surgery-loving pal is not responsible for her decision to recently get Botox injections, she just wants to look her best when she heads out on a UK tour later this year.
Sam – who turns 40 on June 29 – explained: “Let’s set the record straight, it’s not because of this beautiful lady here [Katie], she is beautiful and I love her inside and out, but as a singer I couldn’t sing with lip fillers, you can’t do it. So I decided that because I’ve got a really expressive face I decided to have some Botox … I’m 40 this year so I’m going to have a little bit more for my 40th as I’m having a big bash plus I’m on tour, so I want to feel good and I’ve had Botox and you know what, I’ve had my teeth done and I’ve lost weight.”
Although Sam went for the treatment to smooth out her wrinkles the Botox has had an unexpected side effect – it has cured her migraines.
She shared: “I was really scared and I went to this beautiful place in London’s Harley Street and the guys were amazing. I said, ‘When are you going to do it?’ And they said, ‘We’ve done it.’ I’m not advertising it but I don’t suffer from migraines anymore and apparently some people have it done for that purpose.”

Katie Price plagued by ghosts of nursing home residents

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price was once haunted by old aged pensioners.
The 38-year-old star has revealed she was plagued by constant supernatural activity at one of her former homes and after becoming freaked out by the ghostly goings-on she decided to investigate the history of the property with the help of a team of mediums.
Katie was shocked to discover that the house had been built on the same site as a destroyed nursing home and the swimming pool, which had been the location where most of the disturbances occurred, had formerly been the holding area for the bodies of the elderly residents who had died.
During her appearance on the panel of ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (20.01.17), she said: “I had a house that had memories. It was amazing but I couldn’t understand why it had been up for sale for two years and no one had bought it. So I bought it and I had so many ghostly experiences there that I ended up having mediums come round and they told me what happened.
“I ended up finding out it had been built on a nursing home which had been knocked down. The orangery where the swimming pool was I found out was where they put the bodies and stuff. So many things happened there, with water and other stuff.”
Katie currently lives in a nine-bedroom mansion on a farm in Surrey, South East England, with her husband Kieran Hayler, their two children Jett, three, Bunny, two, and three other kids, Harvey, 14, Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, from previous relationships.
And she had that property cleared of spectres after her kids complained that had seen unusual figures at night.
Katie, 38, previously explained: “We had it cleared because it was haunted and we had to get rid of the ghosts. The kids would sometimes scream in the night. On one occasion I heard Junior screaming, ‘Help, help,’ in the middle of the night and I went up to see him and he said he’d seen someone outside.
“I don’t know what that was, but Junior was very scared. I called the people who lived here before, who’d been here for 25 years, and asked if anyone had died here, and they said, ‘Not in the last 18 years!’ I don’t know who, but I guess it means someone did die.”
The busty beauty believes almost every one of the homes she has lived at since moving out of her parents at the age of 18 have been haunted and it’s because ghosts are attracted to her “aura”.
She said: “Most of my houses are haunted. When I’ve had mediums rounds they say it’s me. I have an aura around me.”

Netflix, Amazon – everything you’re seeing on television is fantastic
“It’s almost like there’s not much a difference.”
As she has gotten older, Jennifer can’t believe how quickly time flies and she is determined to make the most of every moment.

Now it’s really about wanting to stay closer to home and just enjoying your time. It goes really fast. The experience needs to be a good experience. I have no time for the yelling, angry directors or bad behaviour anymore.”
And Jennifer – who married actor-and-screenwriter Justin Theroux, 45, in 2015 – has admitted she is keen to embark on more projects where she will be behind the camera because she enjoys being part of a project “from the seed of it”.
Speaking about producing future projects to Variety, she said: “Oh, I love it. There’s something very exciting about being part of a project from the seed of it, and putting it together. And you just feel so proud of it on another level.”

The ‘Smurfs: The Lost Village’ star had “a blast” at his Joechella-themed 40th birthday party last weekend and particularly enjoyed belting out some of his favourite songs along with rock band Steel Panther, who provided the entertainment.
He said: “At my wedding I sang ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine’ to my wife… They played ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine,’ so I had to get up and sing that. They did a heavy metal, ’80s kind of White Snake version of ‘I Want It That Way’ from the Backstreet Boys, my director from ‘Magic Mike XXX’ was there and I wound up onstage for that and he filmed it.
“It was a blast — great party!”
And Joe revealed the name of his party – a pun on the famous Coachella Music & Arts festival – was all his own idea.
He explained to ‘Extra’: “I just knew that I was gonna have Steel Panther play at the party so a friend of mine, we were going back and forth with what to call it and we came up with… the Joechella Music & Arts Festival.”
Joe and Sofia love to throw parties, and last summer the celebrated the ‘Modern Family’ star’s 44th birthday with a lemon-themed bash.

Manolo had also shared an Instagram video in which he wished his mother a happy birthday – but she stopped him from revealing her age.
He told the camera: “Happy birthday, Mom. I can’t believe you’re turning…”
As Sofia stopped him from revealing her age, he captioned the clip: “18. She’s turning 18. #HappyVerde (sic)”

Ed Sheeran's dad didn't believe royal cut

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran’s dad “didn’t believe” he’d been cut with a sword by Princess Beatrice.
The ‘Castle on the Hill’ hitmaker was reportedly struck by the 28-year-old royal as she was pretending to ‘knight’ fellow musician James Blunt at a party at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in November, but he admits he has told few people about what really happened.
He said: “I have no idea how it came out as there weren’t a lot of people there that night.
‘For two weeks after, I had a huge gash on my face and would tell people I fell and then suddenly, the story came out…
“I remember telling my dad about it and he didn’t believe me and said, ‘No, what really happened?’ ”
But Ed insisted he can’t be drawn on the details of the “alleged story” as he fears a backlash from the royal family.
He insisted to talk show host Graham Norton: “I can’t talk about it. I don’t know what will happen if I do!”
Despite being reluctant to discuss the incident, the 25-year-old star recently admitted he was left “completely covered in blood” from the cut.
He said: “I got hit in the face and I was like, alright, OK, and then started carrying on and then I looked down at my shirt and it was just completely covered in blood.
“And everyone was kind of gaping open-mouthed at me. What have I got a nosebleed or something? What’s happened?”
But the experience hasn’t put the ‘Shape of You’ musician off hanging out with royalty as he recently said he’d “have a lot of fun” with Prince Harry.
Asked to name candidates for an imaginary squad, Ed said: “Harry Windsor, because I don’t really know him that well but I think I’d have a lot of fun with him.”

Britney Spears selling home to dad

OHMYGOSSIP — Britney Spears’ father is buying her Louisiana estate.
The 35-year-old singer has petitioned to have the .39 acre land parcel in Tangipahoa Parish transferred to her dad Jamie – who has been in charge of her affairs since she suffered a highly-publicised breakdown in 2008 – and he will pay $59,688.18 for it.
According to RadarOnline.com, attorney Andrew Wallet – who acts as Britney’s co-conservator alongside Jamie – wrote in documents: “The sale of the Property to Mr. Spears for not less than fair market value is in the best interest of the Conservatorship Estate and would prevent the Estate from otherwise suffering a large loss on the sale.”
A hearing to discuss the request will be heard in Los Angeles Superior Court on January 30.
It was previously claimed Britney – who has sons Sean Preston, 11, and Jayden, 10, with ex-husband Kevin Federline – could remain under a conservatorship indefinitely as all parties are happy with the agreement and the ‘Toxic’ singer has “substantial day-to-day freedom to make her own decisions”.
Meanwhile, Britney’s friends and family are said to be worried she is “moving too fast” in her new relationship with 22-year-old Sam Asghari, who she met on the set of her ‘Slumber Party’ music video.
A source said: “Britney has been thrown off-balance by Sam, the hot new guy in her life. Her friends and family have been trying to warn her that she is moving too fast.
“Those close to Britney are warning her that Sam may not be the best match for a star of her calibre. They are urging Britney to slow down with Sam, even though Britney is way into him and friends fear she trusts him maybe way more than she should.”
The ‘Gimme More’ hitmaker’s romance with Sam comes after she revealed she was tired of men playing “mind games”, and really wants to settle down with a “nice guy”.
She said: “A lot of men are about games. It’s just the mind game with guys, the calling back and texting, it’s just too much, it’s silly. Actually, I’m not looking for men right now, I’m really happy with myself. I’m not looking for anything, I’m fine with the way I am.
“I like someone that’s just nice overall, just a nice guy really is groundbreaking in this world.”

Tom Daley: Diving is wrecking my body

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Daley has been told he may end up in a wheelchair if he continues diving.
The 22-year-old British sportsman – who is a double Olympics bronze medal winner – has admitted after 15 years of swimming and plunging into the water at speeds of up to 35 mph has started to take its toll on his body, and medical experts have warned him about the long-term risks to his health if he continues to compete.
Speaking about his body, the dark-haired hunk said: “We hit the water at 35 mph and it takes 1.6 seconds from the top to the bottom. You hit the water and pretty much stop straight away so it’s not easy on your body.
“There’s only a certain amount the human body can take, and the constant twisting and turning can really affect your body. I’ve had all sorts wrong with me. I’ve torn my tricep, a degenerative disc and a disc bulge in my back all because of the constant hitting of the water. My disc is literally degenerating – it’s impact, impact, impact, but it’s something you just have to learn to deal with. I’ve been told I could [end up in a wheelchair].”
And Tom has admitted he has had to adapt his training schedule to include yoga and ballet, and has had to make the decision to jump off a shorter diving board of three metres in a bid to save his spine.
He said: “I’m going to have to train smart between now and Tokyo 2020, making sure I’m doing all the preventative things I need to do like yoga, Pilates, ballet and more stretching to make sure I’m in the best shape.”
However, the possibility of becoming disabled doesn’t “scare” him at all, and he still has his sights set on winning a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Tom – who is engaged to American filmmaker Dustin Lance Black – told the Daily Mail newspaper: “But I wouldn’t say it scares me because I know what I need to do with my body to stay on top of it. The plan is to get to 2020 and beyond.”

Samuel L. Jackson doesn't need an Oscar

OHMYGOSSIP — Samuel L. Jackson insists he doesn’t need to win an Oscar to be successful.
The 68-year-old actor has starred in a string of critically-successful movies throughout his career, so even if he never picks up one of the coveted Academy Award statuettes, he knows that means he hasn’t been a professional “failure”.
In an interview with the i newspaper, he said: “I don’t have an Oscar. But I don’t think it will define my career if I never get one. No one is saying ‘Ah man, he worked all those years, and never got an Oscar, he’s such a failure!”
While Samuel is pleased the likes of ‘Fences’, ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Loving’ have been tipped for awards success following last year’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy over the lack of diversity in the nominations, he insists that doesn’t necessarily mean things will change when the Oscar winners are announced next month.
He warned: “‘Manchester by the Sea’ – amazing, brilliant; there are no black people in that movie.”
The xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ actor views his movies as nothing more than entertainment and escapism.
He said: “I see myself as someone who gives people an opportunity to get away from their everyday lives for two hours.”
The iconic star plays NSA Agent Augustus Gibbons for the third time in the new ‘xXx’ movie and insists not much has changed with his character.
He said: “I play the same cat I always have. I go to [the leads]. I tell them what to do. I come back and I say, good job.”
While he hasn’t won many awards, the ‘Snakes on a Plane’ actor is proud so many of his lines of dialogue have proved memorable to audiences.
He said: “There are people who have spent their whole career acting, and not one person can remember a word that they have said.”
