Calvin Harris’ expensive BRITs performance

OHMYGOSSIP — Calvin Harris spent almost £80,000 on dancing animals for his BRIT Awards performance.
The 35-year-old DJ – who scooped both British Single for his Dua Lipa collaboration ‘One Kiss’ and Best Producer at the ceremony on Tuesday (20.02.19) – insisted on having a crab and dragon made for his segment to echo those featured in the video for his award-winning single, The Sun newspaper reports.
And that’s not all, as Calvin spared no expense on other elements of his performance – a medley for which he was joined by Dua, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Sam Smith and Winnie Harlow – including snow, a forest, a mountain, raining rose petals, pyrotechnics, a giant glitter ball and 100 backing dancers.
The ‘Acceptable in the 80s’ hitmaker’s wins at the O2 in London on Tuesday were his first trophies following 14 previous unsuccessful nominations.
Dua’s performance with Calvin at the BRITs came just 10 days after she took to the stage at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles to sing with St. Vincent and she admitted it was “surreal” to fit in two such high-profile events in a short space of time.
She said: “It’s surreal. Crazy. And honestly I feel like I’ve been in rehearsals for the past month just getting ready for it all, but it feels so good to be home.”
And despite having been at many award shows, she still isn’t used to the experience.
When asked if she’s a pro at award ceremonies now, Dua said: “No. Always really weird, always really nervous. Everything’s so exciting, but I get really nervous when I’m performing because I just … I dunno, I just wanna put on a really good show so I feel a lot a pressure with that. But I’ve turned all my nervous butterflies into really excited ones, so that’s where I’m at.”

Hollyoaks’ Imran Adams teases huge secret for Deveraux family

OHMYGOSSIP — Imran Adams says his ‘Hollyoaks’ character has promised has huge “secret” for the Deveraux family.
The soap newcomer – who recently joined the Channel 4 show as stripper Mitchell Deveraux – has vowed that there are some twists in line for the character and his on-screen family after his racy introduction.
Speaking to Inside Soap, he teased: “There’s a secret that will be revealed in due course – the audience will be shocked!
“he family dynamic will start to make more sense, in terms of why the Deverauxs have come to the village, and how they link up to the Lovedays… There are a lot of surprises to come!”
Meanwhile, it seems even Imran was shocked to find out his alter ego would be taking his clothes off for his first appearance on the Channel 4 soap.
He recently joked: “My agent never told me about any stripper scenes. The stripper scene was my first scene I shot for ‘Hollyoaks’.
“I didn’t know the full details until the morning of the shoot, so I get on the ‘Hollyoaks’ set, which was my first time ever, with the director Miguel.
“He’s smiling and telling me what’s expected and what his vision is, and all along I’m just waiting for him to tell me that he’s joking, and that there’s no way I’m going to be stripping on national television.
“But after the third take of me grinding on Nana McQueen with a bunch of extras in nothing but tiny shiny gold pants, there was something in my head that was telling me, ‘Welcome to ‘Hollyoaks!” ”

Jack Ryder set for doomed Doctors role

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack Ryder will play Charlotte Hill’s dead husband Grant in ‘Doctors’ as she looks to clear her name.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actor will be back in the world of soaps with his new role in a series of flashbacks as Charlotte – played by Debra Stephenson – tries to prove she wasn’t to blame for his death, and the actress thinks viewers will go “backwards and forwards”.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Debra said: “[Charlotte] was imprisoned for the murder of her husband Grant, but her conviction has been quashed because of a forensics mix-up.
“So she’s lonely and vulnerable and desperately trying to clear her name.
“Over the next few weeks, viewers will probably be going backwards and forwards with what they make of her. Is she capable of having murdered her husband, or is she a completely innocent woman who’s been hard done by?”
It’s said that Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) will also be a suspect for his death, as viewers will find out she used to have a crush on Grant when they worked together.
Debra added: “Charlotte’s absolutely furious. She believes that Valerie killed Grant.
“Filming the flashbacks was great fun as we see that Charlotte was a real high-flyer before prison – she’s had a lot of money and success, and she power-dressed! And now she’s lost everything – her money, her power, her friends…”
Meanwhile, Jack – who played Jamie Mitchell in ‘EastEnders’ – will also be appearing on BBC’s ‘Holby City’ this year after it was confirmed he had signed on for the hospital soap.
‘Doctors’ airs on BBC every weekday at 1.45pm.

Gwyneth Paltrow files countersuit over ski row

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow has filed a countersuit against a man who claimed she crashed into him while skiing three years ago.
The 46-year-old actress has denied Terry Sanderson’s allegations he sustained serious injuries when she caused a collision after losing control of her skis at the Deer Valley Resort, Utah, back in February 2016, insisting it was actually him who “took her out from behind”.
According to documents obtained by People magazine, Gwyneth – who has children Apple, 14, and Moses, 12, with ex-husband Chris Martin and is now married to Brad Falchuk – had been enjoying skiing lessons with her family when the 69-year-old doctor “plowed into her back”, causing her to sustain a “full body blow”.
The ‘Iron Man’ star expressed her anger and Terry “apologised” to her, but she was left “shaken and upset” by the incident to decided to “quit skiing for the day even though it was still morning”.
The lawsuit stated: “She did not knock him down. He knocked her down. He was not knocked out. Ms. Paltrow was skiing carefully. She skied slowly to stay behind her children, who were receiving skiing instruction slightly further down the mountain.”
Eric Christiansen, a skiing instructor also being sued by Terry, logged what had happened in an incident report and was told by the medic he had “not seen Ms. Paltrow”, though the man previously claimed the log was falsified to protect the actress.
Gwyneth is seeking “symbolic damages” of around $1, as well as her legal fees, in order to “defend this meritless claim” as she believes the lawsuit is simply an “attempt to exploit her celebrity and wealth”.
Terry previously claimed he had suffered a “permanent traumatic brain injury” and four broken ribs in the incident after the Goop founder allegedly lost control of her skis and collided with him from behind.
His lawsuit stated the ‘Shakespeare in Love’ actress had picked herself up and carried on without checking if he was okay.
According to his court documents, Tom says that on top of his injuries, he also suffered loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, disfigurement and medical expenses.
He is now seeking damages from the ‘Shallow Hal’ star in excess of $3.1 million, and is also taking legal action against Deer Valley Resort for the alleged actions of the instructor.

Milo Ventimiglia proud of Mandy Moore

OHMYGOSSIP — Milo Ventimiglia is “incredibly proud” of Mandy Moore.
The ‘This Is Us’ actor has praised his on-screen wife for recently speaking out “honestly” about the alleged emotional abuse and harassment she suffered during her six-year marriage to Ryan Adams.
He said: “There are things that people live through and are able to have a forum to discuss it and speak about it honestly. You know I am incredibly proud of Mandy for just being who Mandy is. Which is a very giving, inspiring woman.”
And the 41-year-old star thinks his friend’s story will inspire other women to speak out or to feel they are not alone in a bad situation.
He added to ‘Access’: “If anyone else can take away from that situation or be inspired, to let someone know that they’re not alone in their feelings…that’s a great thing to do.”
Earlier this month, Mandy was one of seven women to speak out about their alleged ordeals at the hands of the ‘Wonderwall’ singer – who has denied the claims against him – and she later admitted their marriage was an “entirely unhealthy dynamic”.
She said: “I was living my life for him … being the mother. It’s an entirely unhealthy dynamic. I had no sense of self … I was so small. It was so untenable and unsustainable and it was so lonely. I was so sad. I was so lonely with him. I knew this was not the person I was meant to be with.”
And the 34-year-old actress-and-singer claims she found it hard to work whilst she was with Ryan because he needed a “constant stream” of attention.
She added: “I would do little jobs – it’s not like I completely stopped working. But it would become abundantly clear while I was working, things would completely fall apart at home. I couldn’t do my job because there was a constant stream of trying to pay attention to this person who needed me and wouldn’t let me do anything else.”
Mandy – who married Taylor Goldsmith in November – had previously insisted it is always “worth” speaking out, even if the truth is “painful”.
Lending her support to other women who have experienced “trauma or abuse”, she wrote on Instagram: “Speaking your truth can be painful and triggering but it’s always worth it. My heart is with all women who have suffered any sort of trauma or abuse. You are seen and heard. #sisterhoodforever.”
Ryan’s lawyer has denied the allegations, saying they were “completely inconsistent with [Ryan’s] view of the relationship” and that he supported her “well-deserved professional success”.

Kim Kardashian West sues Missguided USA

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is suing Missguided USA for allegedly using her name and image without permission.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star is seeking damages of at least $10 million, disgorgement – which means giving up something obtained by illegal or unethical acts on demand or by legal compulsion – of the company’s profits and a permanent injunction to stop the online retailer from future infringements.
In documents obtained by ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Kim also shared photos of what she claimed were the company’s “knock-off” versions of her clothes.
She also alleged the firm “in total disregard of Kardashian’s trademark rights and rights of publicity, have repeatedly used [her] name and image without authorisation to generate interest in their brand and website, and to elicit sales of their products.”
Kim further went on to criticise Missguided for its “fast” designs and claimed they are often “blatant knock-offs”.
She wrote: “[Missguided] specialises in ‘fast’ and inexpensive clothing designs, which are often derivative of other companies’ designs if not blatant knock-offs.
“Missguided has become particularly well-known for copying designs worn by famous celebrities, which it then offers for sale on its sites within days — sometimes even hours — of the celebrity appearing in the clothing.
“Missguided has not only knocked-off the clothing of other designers, but it has unabashedly misappropriated the rights of celebrities like Kardashian in selling these knock-offs on its websites.”
The 38-year-old beauty is suing for violation of statutory right of publicity, violation of common law right of publicity, false designation of origin, trademark infringement, common law trademark infringement.
The lawsuit was filed a day after Kim – who has children North, five, Saint, three, and Chicago, 13 months, with husband Kanye West – expressed her frustration at labels that rip off her looks.
Kim took to Twitter after a website advertised a version of the one-of-a-kind vintage Thierry Mugler dress she wore at the Hollywood Fashion Awards over the weekend.
She tweeted: “Only two days ago, I was privileged enough to wear a one-of-a-kind vintage Mugler dress and in less than 24 hours it was knocked off and thrown up on a site — but it’s not for sale.
“You have to sign up for a waitlist because the dress hasn’t even been made to sell yet. This is a way to get people to sign up for their mailing list and make people believe there is some kind of relationship between me and this fashion site. There is not.
“It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas.
“I’ve watched these companies profit off my husband’s work for years and now that it’s also affecting designers who have been so generous to give me access to their beautiful works, I can no longer sit silent.”

Leona Lewis ‘lined up for X Factor role’

OHMYGOSSIP — Leona Lewis is reportedly being lined up for the all-new ‘X Factor’.
After Simon Cowell revealed he would be shaking the singing competition up in a major way in 2019 – with plans for two different series being discussed – it’s said the show’s 2006 champion could make a big return after appearing during the mogul’s judges’ houses stage.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Bizarre column: “Simon definitely wants her in the frame. He was impressed with her input on the series last year and is working out how they can keep her in the picture.”
The report comes after the show’s boss Simon opened up about his plans for ‘The X Factor’ this year as he looks to react to a decline in ratings.
He recently said: “I want to clear up any myths — because I’ve got some exciting news. I’ve had a meeting with ITV, I’ve told them what I think we’d like to do with ‘X Factor’ because we’ve been waiting to have this opportunity.
“The time feels right, and it will be a huge change. We haven’t exactly confirmed the dates or the order of the shows, but essentially there are going to be two versions of X Factor running this year.
“I think it’s going to be huge, it’s the best I’ve felt about this show in years.”
The show’s boss also opened up on the potential panel for the new formats, and said he is hopeful last year’s judges – Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – will be back.
He said: “I think and hope the panel will be the same. I’m literally speaking to Robbie tonight because he’s been busy, I’ve been filming, so I’ll have more news again on that soon.”

Dua Lipa wants a rapper for new album

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa wants to get a rapper on her next album.
The 23-year-old pop star – who won Best British Single for ‘One Kiss’ with Calvin Harris at the BRITs – has revealed she would love to follow the trend of duetting with a hip-hop star on a song for her hotly-anticipated follow-up to her hugely successful 2017 self-titled debut.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper at the glitzy bash at The O2 in London on Wednesday night (20.02.19), she spilled: “I haven’t yet decided on features but maybe there is room for a hip-hop artist to feature.”
The ‘IDGAF’ hitmaker wowed with her high-energy performance of ‘One Kiss’ with the Scottish DJ at the ceremony, which ended with her raising her leg into a challenging yoga pose, and Dua admitted that she has become more confident with her dance skills since she first emerged in 2015.
She said: “I loved shooting the music video for ‘Electricity’.
“I feel like during the whole process of my career I’ve slowly gained a bit more confidence.
“I’ve slowly felt a bit more like myself.
“I’ve slowly been OK with the way that I done.”
Dua’s performance with Calvin at the BRITs came just 10 days after she took to the stage at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles to sing with St. Vincent and she admitted it was “surreal” to fit in two such high-profile events in a short space of time.
She said: “It’s surreal. Crazy. And honestly I feel like I’ve been in rehearsals for the past month just getting ready for it all, but it feels so good to be home.”

Liam Payne says 2020 is too soon for One Direction reunion

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Payne has said that 2020 is too soon for a One Direction reunion.
The ‘Familiar’ hitmaker had previously teased fans that the group – also comprised of Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – may get back together within the next two years, but he has now admitted it may be a longer wait as they are all busy with their respective solo careers.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper at the BRITs in London on Wednesday night (21.02.19), he said: “Last time I said a date it was 2020 and we’re still not there yet so I’m just going to go with that and we will have to wait.
“Everyone’s enjoying doing their own thing.”
The 25-year-old hunk – who released his debut EP ‘First Time’ last year – is busy preparing his long-awaited debut album and is also set to tour this year.
Speaking last June, he said: “It’s amazing that we’re doing our own thing and then, hopefully one day soon, we get back together and have another great time of it, who knows?”
Since announcing their hiatus in 2015, all members have launched solo careers, and the heartthrob previously admitted they’ve only been able to show who they really are as individuals since doing their own thing.
He spilled: “When you’re in the band, there are certain jobs you have to do and hoops you have to jump through, so that was always a little bit of a strain on all of us.”
Liam previously said that if the band decide to reunite in the future, it would be likely they’d all perform one another’s solo songs.
He said: “For me the only way One Direction could better themselves from going to playing stadiums – like where else do you play? – is to manage to be, you know, like ‘The Avengers’, like we’re successful on our own.
“Like if Iron Man wants to go and deal with someone, he just deals with them.
“He doesn’t call up Hulk and be like ‘oh, whatever’ unless he really needs him.
“So my thing is, why aren’t we like that?
“Like, we should go and boss it on our own and then when we do the show it can be like ‘yeah, yeah, just sit down there boys, I’ll sing a bit of ‘Slow Hands”, you know what I mean? Imagine that?”
The chances of former member Zayn Malik rejoining the group were dashed by the star who revealed he has completely cut ties with his old bandmates.
He said in December: “I ain’t spoke to any of them for a long time.
“There are things that happen and things that were said after I left – snide things, small things that I would never have expected. The relationships had broken apart.”

Lesley Joseph thinks time is right for Birds of a Feather ending

OHMYGOSSIP — Lesley Joseph is relieved ‘Birds of a Feather’ is coming to an end.
The 73-year-old actress – who has been in the role of Dorien Green since the show’s launch three decades ago – admitted she’s glad the show is being axed by ITV because she didn’t wake to play the character “in a Zimmer frame”.
Opening up on the channel’s decision and referencing how tough it is to fit into her alter ego’s skimpy outfits, she – who was amongst the stars stepping out for the press premiere of the ‘Only Fools and Horses’ musical in London on Tuesday (19.02.19) – is quoted by the Mirror as saying: “I don’t think ‘Birds’ is coming back.
“It’s come to an actual end. It is a shame but it’s very hard work getting into shape for Dorien.”
The sitcom – which also stars Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson – first aired on the BBC from 1989 to 1998, before a three year revival until 2017, when it made the move to ITV.
However, it was revealed earlier this month that the broadcaster was moving away from airing comedy with plans to cancel both ‘Birds of a Feather’ and ‘Benidorm’.
Kevin Lygo, ITV’s Director of Television, said: “We had success with ‘Birds of a Feather’, that was our most successful sitcom in years, but it’s come to a sort of natural end.”
With ‘Bad Move’ – starring Jack Dee and Seann Walsh – also getting axed, Lygo suggested the future of scripted comedy is bleak.
He added: “We had two series of the Jack Dee sitcom but I don’t think we’re continuing with it now. It’s just very, very hard.
“Audiences can get their fix of character-based comedy from ‘Coronation Street.’ ”
The decision has been met with some criticism, including from ‘Benidorm’ actor John Challis – who said the public needed an escape.
He explained: “I don’t understand this attitude towards comedy. What other comedy has ITV got at the moment that is so popular?
“It’s what people want. they just want to relax, especially in these difficult times – they just want to relax and let it wash over them and have a good laugh.
“I don’t know who these people are making these decisions – but where I am – I do a one-man show all over and I go to conventions – all I hear is people who want comedy. They want something they can switch on and think, ‘Oh this’ll be fun.’ ”

Hugh Bonneville takes the blame for Downton Abbey dog death

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Bonneville has taken the blame for Isis the dog being killed off on ‘Downtown Abbey’.
The 55-year-old actor – who played Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham in the ITV period drama – admitted he was behind the decision to cut the loveable Labrador from the show’s sixth and final season because it fit the timeline.
He told The Sun newspaper’s TV Bizarre column: “We always try to fudge time in ‘Downtown’ because if you analyse it too closely you’d go nuts.
“That is one of the reasons we got rid of the dog — someone had done some nerdy chart working out how old all the characters would be if we started in 1912.
“They’d worked out by the time we got to series six the dog should be dead. So I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to kill the dog?’ because, let’s face it, most British men at this time are more attached to their dog than their children. It would get the dog lovers at home weeping.”
When the fifth season aired in 2014 and revealed the dog’s death, it was thought the pooch got the boot because Isis had the same name as the Islamist terror organisation, when she was actually named after the caring Egyptian goddess in mythology.
Hugh was baffled that people would think the writers would name the pet after the extreme group, and he has previously dismissed all speculation.
He said: “Anyone who genuinely believes the Series 5 storyline [set in 1924] involving the animal was a reaction to recent world news is a complete berk.
“I find it rather odd. I think odd is a polite way of saying it – I do think people are bonkers that think that we’d develop a storyline based on such utterly appalling world events.”
Isis – whose real name is Ellie – first debuted on screens in series 3.

Paddy McGuinness sports fake tan and make-up on Top Gear

OHMYGOSSIP — New ‘Top Gear’ presenter Paddy McGuinness has been mocked for wearing too much fake tan and make-up.
The ‘Take Me Out’ star – who will co-host the upcoming series of the motoring show with Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff and Chris Harris – admitted he has a strict beauty regime to make sure that he looks immaculate on-screen.
Paddy is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying : “I do have fake tan on my hands. I also have a bit of man make-up on.
“The lads rib me – but I’ve seen Chris using a bit of man make-up too. They love it really.”
The upcoming series of the motoring show – which will air on BBC Two on Sunday (24.02.19) at 8pm – will be the last to feature the trio of Chris, Matt Le Blanc and Rory Reid together.

Meanwhile, Rory will be fronting the online edition of the show ‘Extra Gear’.
Paddy – who is best known for presenting game shows such ‘Take Me Out’ and ‘Benchmark’ – admitted that he actually failed his driving test first time around despite being set to host the motoring show.
He previously said: “I failed my driving test the first time, the instructor was a wrong ‘un, pencil tache, 60 years old. Fail.
“Second time, it was blazing hot and I was wearing Kevin Keegan short shorts, I had a female examiner and I passed.”

David Dastmalchian joins Dune reboot

OHMYGOSSIP — David Dastmalchian has joined the cast of the ‘Dune’ reboot.
The 34-year-old actor is the latest star to become part of the ever-growing cast of the sci-fi movie reboot, which is being adapted from Frank Herbert’s novel of the same name by director Denis Villeneuve.
‘Dune’ – which is considered a sci-fi literary classic – tells the complex story of a fallen noble family’s attempt to control a desert planet named Arrakis and its export, a rare drug called melange – also known as “the spice” – which is vital to space travel and the most sought after commodity in the universe.
‘Bird Box’ star Dastmalchian will take on the role of Piter De Vries – played by Brad Dourif in David Lynch’s 1984 film – a Mentat human who serves the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard) and is addicted to the spice.

Zendaya and Oscar Isaac are also in talks for roles.
The project is being created by Legendary Entertainment, and Villeneuve will produce alongside Mary Parent and Cale Boyter.
Villeneuve also wrote the script for the flick with the help of Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.
Legendary acquired the film and TV rights in 2016 after signing a deal with Herbert’s estate for his iconic tome.
Villeneuve previously admitted ‘Dune’ has always been his “dream project” as he was obsessed with the original film growing up.
Filming is due to commence in Budapest and Jordan in spring and the film is set to be released next year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Craig is set to star in Todd Field’s ‘The Creed of Violence’.
The 50-year-old actor is to portray Rawbone in the adaptation of Boston Teran’s novel once he’s wrapped up production on Cary Fukunaga’s ‘Bond 25’, according to Collider.

Alex Gaskarth was ‘nervous’ about bandmates’ reaction to new band

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Gaskarth was “nervous” to tell his All Time Low bandmates about his new band Simple Creatures.
The 31-year-old frontman has joined forces with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus on the new project after “quietly making music together for a little while”, and the duo recently dropped their first song, ‘Drug’, together.
Alex has confessed that he was initially anxious about how the rest of the pop punk group – also comprised of Jack Barakat, Zack Merrick and Rian Dawson – would react.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, he said: “I was pretty nervous to go to them and say ‘Hey, how do you guys feel about this?’
“Given that if the tables were turned and it was them being approached by someone that mattered this much in their creative lives, I think it would be a no-brainer for any of us.”
Alex says it was important Simple Creatures didn’t sound anything like their respective bands.
He explained: “It’s different, it’s exciting, it’s fun, there were no expectations for this, we kind of just went into it with an intention to make something different and something that sounds unlike Blink-182 and All Time Low.
“I think that was what we stuck by and it ended up with us making what I think is some really rad music.”
The ‘Lost in Stereo’ hitmaker has been working closely with Mark for years so there was no fear of going into fan-boy mode.
He said: “When we started out we were definitely influenced and inspired by blink, I think a big part of it for me was their energy live … It was very clearly friends going out and having a blast first and foremost, and also making rad music.
“I was very inspired by that mentality
“Fortunately, I met Mark years ago, so I kind of got to get my like hardcore fanboy phase out of the way, I’ve told Mark plenty of times how much I love him and now it’s just like, ‘Alright we can clear the air now and be normal.'”
The pair plan to release their debut EP next month.

Sam Rockwell is ‘eccentric’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Rockwell is a “little eccentric”.
The ‘Vice’ star- who is the son of actors Pete Rockwell and Penny Hess – admitted his upbringing has made him “off-centre” but he insists his girlfriend Leslie Bibb doesn’t think he’s particularly quirky as he can be “pretty predictable”.
He said: “I’m probably a little eccentric in that I grew up not unlike Chris Walken and Bob Fosse in the entertainment business a little bit. I grew up around theater and showbiz people, and when you’re brought up in a circus life, it makes you a little off-center. But if you talk to my girlfriend, I’m probably pretty predictable.”
And the 50-year-old star thinks any neurotic traits he has can only be good for his work.
He told CR Fashion Book: “A good actor is usually pretty neurotic.”
While Sam found it “daunting” to portray former US President George W. Bush in ‘Vice’, he found an unusual way to get into the character.
He explained: “I saw him as someone who was just in over his head.
“It’s daunting playing someone that famous, because everyone has an opinion on how he talks…But Bush has an Elvis Presley thing with his lips, and that was key for me.”
In 2018, Sam took home the Oscar for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of a racist police officer in ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ and joked about his upbringing in his acceptance speech.
He said: “My mom and dad were actors. They dragged me to rehearsals at ACT when I was a little baby and I slowly realised that these people are nuts. I love actors and I love my mom and dad.”
