Amelia Lily and Sam Thompson don’t talk

OHMYGOSSIP — Amelia Lily and Sam Thompson don’t speak anymore.
The pair went on a few dates after they left the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house two months ago following their whirlwind romance in the infamous abode but, although it looked like things were hotting up between them, the 23-year-old singer has admitted she hasn’t seen the ‘Made in Chelsea’ hunk for a while and doesn’t know if they’re still friends.
Speaking to new! magazine, she said: “We don’t speak. Everything’s fine, but I guess it was just the wrong timing. He’s a lovely guy thought. As far as I’m aware we are [friends]. Like, he’s really busy back in ‘Made in Chelsea’ and I’m really busy doing my thing. But I always said that I would have time for him in my life.”
And, although she was keen to start romancing Sam, 25, once they got out of the house, the blonde beauty doesn’t think she’s ready for a relationship at the moment.
She explained: “Honestly, I don’t even think I have time for a relationship. Truly. On top of being really busy with work, I’m moving house and it’s all happening at once. I’ve just come out of a four-year relationship so I need to concentrate on myself. I want to enjoy being on my own for a little bit. I just want to look after myself and be kind to myself.”
And she won’t rule out dating someone in the public eye.
She added: “It’s all about the person. If they make me laugh, make me smile and treat me how every girl wants to be treated, then I don’t mind whether they’re in the limelight or not. I would like to be with someone who understands what I do.”

Duncan James will take break from Hollyoaks

OHMYGOSSIP — Duncan James is planning a break from ‘Hollyoaks’.
The Blue singer’s contract as Detective Ryan Knight comes to an end next year, and with his alter ego recently revealed as his wife Amy Barnes (Ashley Slanina-Davies)’s killer, it seems the writing is on the wall for the policeman, but the 39-year-old star doesn’t plan to leave Chester for good.
He told OK! magazine: “On ‘Hollyoaks’ if you’ve committed crime or killed someone, then justice has to be served – that’s the golden rule. But I was always going to do at least two years on ‘Hollyoaks’. I’m still on contract until next year.
“I think after [that] I might take a break from it and then go back, I’m not being killed off.”
Ryan killed Amy after she learned he’d been sleeping with men behind her back, and Duncan recently teased his character could kill again to keep his secret from becoming public knowledge.
He said: “It’s so genius what is coming up – the plot still thickens over the next few months. There are so many twists to come – more will be revealed. He’s a very complex character and there is a lot of darkness in Ryan. His backstory comes out in the next few months – there’s a lot with his father that will make viewers understand why there is all of this darkness and deceit.
“How far does Ryan go to keep his secret – could he be killing more people? I don’t know! But with ‘Hollyoaks’, you never know what is going to happen – Mercedes has killed loads of people and she’s still there. With Ryan’s story, it all gets a lot more introverted and there’s so much more to tell so he’s not going anywhere yet.”

Gemma Collins approached for Celebs Go Dating

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins has been approached for the new series of ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is desperate to find her prince charming so that she can settle down and have the family she’s always dreamed of, so it’s hardly surprising that she’s jumped at the chance to take part in the match-making show after she saw how successful her ex-boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent was during the last instalment.
A source told The Sun Online: “Gemma’s been offered a spot on Celebs Go Dating, following in her ex Arg’s footsteps. She’d be a great addition to the show which is just getting bigger and bigger. She’s certainly has had a colourful love life with her trysts with Arg the most infamous of the lot.
“Bosses will be keen to get her talking about this – especially after everyone fell in love with Charlotte Dawson when she spoke about her ex.”
However, the 36-year-old star looks set for a busy few months as there’s also rumours that she’s being lined up to re-enter the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle after she left the camp just 72 hours after she entered during a failed stint in 2014.
A source said recently: “Gemma has been backed by Dec, he thought she was really good [last time she was on] and he told Gemma she would be great if she came back to the show. She’s riding on the crest of a wave right now – she’s doing well on ‘TOWIE’, she massive on social media after all the memes and and everyone is a bit obsessed with her. She in talks to sign up but it’s early days. Nothing is set in stone yet.
“Producers know there’s a bit of heat around her right now so she would be great on the show. Gemma really wants a chance to prove herself and set the record straight.”

Scarlett Moffatt is still dating Luke Crodden

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Moffatt is still dating Luke Crodden.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Extra Camp’ presenter sparked rumours she’d split up with her on/off boyfriend last month when she dramatically unfollowed him on social media, but she’s now poured cold water on the speculation as she has admitted she and her beau are “amazing” and they’re still a solid couple.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: “He’s amazing. We’re best friends. He moved his whole life down to London to be with me. When I get anxious he’s so reassuring.”
And, although the couple – who briefly split up February before rekindling four months later – are so loved up that they’re thinking about getting hitched – but Scarlett is adamant that she’s not in any rush as she wants to follow in her parents’ footsteps.
The 27-year-old beauty explained: “My mam and dad only got married four years ago and so I’ll probably follow in their footsteps. I’d like to be a mam but I’m not in a rush.”
But, although Luke hasn’t popped the question yet, friends believe the couple will tie the knot in a sci-themed ceremony because they’re both huge fans of aliens.
A source said recently: “Scarlett and Luke are in a really good place since their brief break and have been discussing getting married.
“They bonded over their love of aliens, UFOs and conspiracy theories, so they think a sci-fi wedding would be perfect as it reflects their personalities.”
Early ideas include alien-themed favours, a ‘Star Wars’ ice sculpture and sci-fi bride and groom cake toppers.
The insider added: “Neither of them takes themselves too seriously and they want their wedding to be fun. Luke hasn’t proposed yet, but it’s something they’ve discussed.”

Emmerdale’s Moira Barton to abandon baby

OHMYGOSSIP — Emmerdale’s Moira Barton will abandon her newborn son.
The farm girl – played by Natalie J. Robb – leaves her baby boy at the hospital to fend for himself after she refuses to accept he has colic – a common condition that causes babies to cry for extended period of times because of abdominal pain – and convinces herself that he has something serious that she won’t be able to cope with.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Natalie said: “I don’t think Moira realises what she’s doing when she leaves him.
“It’s like she’s hitting breaking point at different moments with the baby. If he won’t stop crying, she’s like: ‘I can’t cope with this anymore. It’s kind of driving her insane.’ ”
The brunette beauty hasn’t had the easiest of times recently as she was held captive by her deranged sister-in-law Emma Barton (Gillian Kearney), almost burnt alive by the psychotic nurse, and then went into labour without knowing she’s pregnant.
But she’s also trying to come to terms with her daughter Holly’s (Sophie Powles) death from a shocking heroin overdose after the one-year anniversary fast approaches.
Natalie explained: “Moira doesn’t feel she can cope at this stage. The enormity of her situation is just too much for her to handle, and the anniversary of her daughter Holly’s death is still very raw. I think she’s fearful that she will lose her son as well, and can’t deal with all of that sadness in her life again … The biggest thing for Moira is the shock of actually being in this situation. Her hormones are all over the place – any woman who’s been pregnant will tell you that. You can’t control some of the things you feel, and that’s how you know it’s coming. So the fact that Moira didn’t know has been a massive shock. And she’s very defensive because she’s convinced people don’t believe her when she says she didn’t realise that she was pregnant.”
However, although Moira is terrified of losing her newborn son, the farmer has put herself in a tricky position because the hospital staff may need to report her to social services after they learn that she walked out and left her baby to fend for himself.
The 42-year-old actress said: “Moira would be distraught if that happened. However, the fact of the matter is that she’s not coping. For me, it would be a good thing if social services became involved. I think it would be helpful for Moira to realise that she needs help and get it, rather than pretending she doesn’t.”

Coronation Street’s Connor McIntyre: Old ladies are scared of me

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street’s Connor McIntyre says old ladies are “frightened” of him because of his villainous alter-ego Pat Phelan.
The 57-year-old actor – who portrays the conniving builder in the long-running soap – feels disheartened when he sees old age pensioners walking down the street and they avoid eye contact with him because they think he’s nasty in real life.
Speaking to the Radio Times magazine, Connor explained: “The reaction I usually get is: ‘You’re so horrible. We really hate you. But we don’t want them to kill you yet.’ The only time it gets disturbing for me is when it’s older people, whose memory isn’t quite what it was. So they see my face and they it doesn’t have good association. That’s when I rush over to put them at their ease. It upsets me to see anyone get genuinely frightened.”
However, Connor is proud of how well he’s taken on the role because people have started referring to his character when someone is doing anything “untoward” and believes he’s finally made it as a “proper soap villain.”
He said: “A builder was telling me that getting ‘Phelan’d’ is now a recognised term. If someone is doing something untoward, it’s called ‘doing a Phelan.’ You’ve made it as a proper ‘Corrie’ villain if that happens. It’s a real compliment.”
Viewers have watched Pat – also known simply as Phelan – take part in a dodgy building work, defrauded neighbours, forced Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) to have sex with him and kidnap Andy Carver (Oliver Farnworth) over the years but, although fans would like to see him get his comeuppance, Connor has revealed his alter ego hasn’t actually killed anyone.
He explained: “When people say to me on the street: ‘How many have you killed now?’ I always reply: ‘I haven’t actually killed anyone yet.’ But they already think I’m a serial killer. That perception is already there…”

Lauren Goodger to sign up to Celebs Go Dating?

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger is being eyed up for the next series of ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to her love life over the years as she was left heartbroken when her on/off fiance Mark Wright dumped her and married Michelle Keegan and then, most recently, split from her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison after his prison sentence was extended until next year.
But the 31-year-old beauty may be about to meet her prince charming as she’s been in talks with producers of the match-making show about taking part in the new instalment.
A source told The Sun Online: “Lauren’s been for meetings at the production company that makes the show – they’re really keen to sign her up. She makes great TV, she’s really popular, and she’s been unlucky in love so far.
“Everyone would love to see Lauren get set up with someone special – she’s had such bad luck with men in the past, the dating agency could really help her out.”
Lauren dumped Joey – who she was in a relationship with for 18 months – after his sentence was extended following an “incident” behind bars but, although she’s devastated by their split, she feels like she’s finally back to her old self now they’re over.
She said recently: “You lose your identity because you’re not on your own and you’re in a two. You’re not as strong anymore. Especially when you’re with someone inside.
“It wasn’t a sudden decision, it was months and months of it getting harder. Joey was meant to come out in November last year and if he had done, things would have been very different. But he suffered a knock back inside and was moved to a high security prison. His sentence was extended and I was told he could be inside for another year. That was hard because I’d been with him for a while but he’d had day release so we could walk around the grounds and sit on a bench together.
“When he was moved to high security, his day release was cut and our visits became more formal. It was really sad and we would row because of the pressure of the environment. It changed the whole relationship for me.”

Liar’s second series will air in 2019

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Liar’ is to get a second series – but it won’t air until 2019.
The first season of the thriller TV show, created by brothers Harry and Jack Williams, concluded on Monday (16.10.17), but fans of the ITV programme – which stars Joanne Froggatt and Ioan Gruffudd – have been told they’ll need to wait until 2019 to find out who killed Andrew Earlham.
Looking forward to the second series, Harry said: “There are certainly a few suspects and we hope to explore that further. Andrew has been missing for several weeks and then we see his dead body in the empty marshlands. The question is: what happened in those missing weeks that led to Andrew’s demise?”
Jack revealed the writing duo have already started working on the second series, but he urged fans to be patient with them.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “We’re delighted there will be a second series and we’ve written a bit of it already. We don’t want to do it cynically – it will be a new set of lies and perceptions.
“We want to give ourselves time, it will probably be the year after next. I hope people feel happy to wait.”
Meanwhile, Jack revealed he hopes TV viewers are satisfied with the conclusion to the first series, which ended with Andrew dying after his crimes were discovered.
He explained: “We hope people feel we told the story we set out to tell – of who was lying about Laura’s rape.
“We’ve raised several more questions with this ending but for those who feel it’s a cruel cliffhanger that asks too many questions, fear not, it’s coming back for another series.”

Sam Callahan in talks for Ex on the Beach?

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Callahan is in talks to take part in the new series of ‘Ex on the Beach’.
The ‘X Factor’ reject – who was booted off the singing show in week six in 2013 – has been holding chats with the producers of the raunchy dating show as he’d really like to star in the forthcoming series after he was forced to turn down the opportunity last year because his now-ex-girlfriend Jane Park wasn’t happy about him doing the series.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the 23-year-old hunk said: “I have been chatting with the ‘Ex on the Beach’ producers – I can confirm that. It’s not official but it is there and we have had chats. It is something I’m keen to do.
“Jane was punching and chatting s***. She said all sorts of stuff like if I was going to do ‘Big Brother’ she would be following me in and telling me what I can and can’t do.
“But Jane would be in no position to do that because there’s nothing between us now.”
“We got very, very close. But she lives about 500 miles away and she’s about 18ft tall and has bigger shoulders than I do.
“She started throwing shade at me on Twitter – I never did anything to upset her she just started being all nasty to me. Jane is a psycho, she’s a nutter.”
Sam signed up to the dating show last year after he snubbed ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, but Jane – who lives in Edinburgh – banned him from taking part because she felt “uncomfortable” with him rubbing shoulders with his past lovers while under the sun.
The heartthrob split with Jane seven months ago after she caught him locking lips with fellow ‘X Factor’ star Soheila Clifford at Pandora Christie’s birthday bash.

Crimewatch axed after 33 years

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Crimewatch’ has been axed after 33 years on TV.
The long-running show – presented by Jeremy Vine – will be taken off air by the BBC, who admitted they are “incredibly proud” of the programme but plan to run two series of daytime show ‘Crimewatch Roadshow’ instead.
A BBC spokesman said: “We believe the successful ‘Crimewatch Roadshow’ format in daytime is the best fit for the brand going forward and we will increase the number of episodes to make two series a year.
“We are incredibly proud of ‘Crimewatch’ and the great work it has done over the years and the work ‘Crimewatch Roadshow’ will continue to do, and this move will also allow us to create room for new innovative programmes in peak time on BBC One.”
It’s not known exactly why ‘Crimewatch’ has been dropped but it’s thought a fall in ratings may have something to do with its axing after it went up against the likes of ‘Broadchurch’ and ‘Cold Feet’, despite a recent revamp which saw Jeremy and Tina Daheley take the reins.
It is thought police officers might feel particularly disappointed about the news because the show has helped solve real-life murder cases for years thanks to its crime reconstructions.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “The police are going to be furious. Everyone is really shocked. It is a massive public service programme.”
One of the most high-profile cases ‘Crimewatch’ helped to solve came in 1993 when CCTV footage of James Bulger’s killers led to Jon Venables and Robert Thompson being identified and put away.
What’s more, Michael Stone was convicted of the double murder of Lin and Megan Russell after a 1997 appeal on the TV show.
‘Crimewatch’ has aired for 33 series since it began in June 1984, when it was presented by Nick Ross and Sue Cook.
In 1995, Sue was replaced by Jill Dando, who was shot dead on her doorstep in 1999. The case has never been solved.
Local man Barry George was initially convicted of the crime in July 2001 and sentence to life in prison, but he was later acquitted in August 2008 after a retrial.

Ferne McCann is craving damp sponges

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann has been craving damp sponges.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has spent the majority of her pregnancy scoffing salt and vinegar crisps but has admitted her cravings have changed dramatically in her third trimester and she now likes the smell of built-up moisture.
She explained: “I’ve gone from craving salt and vinegar crisps to weird damp smells! I could sit here and take great pleasure in burying my nose in a sponge.”
The 27-year-old beauty is just weeks away from giving birth to her first child but ditched the plan to have a baby shower because it was “stressing” her out too much.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: “I couldn’t find a venue and it was stressing me out. I’m definitely going to celebrate when the baby is here and have a blessing.”
Ferne has been filming her pregnancy for her 90-minute special ‘First Time Mum’ and is hoping to get a bit of the labour on camera too, although not her giving birth.
She said: “It’s a 90-minute special that follows me throughout my pregnancy. I’m quite quirky so you’ll see me meet a witch doctor, who blesses the unborn child, and discuss different birthing options.
“Being pregnant is a nerve-wracking time, so I think people will relate to it. I really want my birth to be featured. But obviously I won’t be doing a Kourtney Kardashian and pulling my baby out myself. There will definitely be bits of me in labour, though!”

Helen Mirren to receive Chaplin Award

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Helen Mirren will be honoured at the 45th annual Chaplin Award Gala in recognition of her incredible career which has spanned six decades.
The British actress has delighted movie-goers with a range of iconic roles in films such as ‘The Queen’, ‘RED’, ‘Calendar Girls’ and ‘Collateral Beauty’ and on the small screen, with her most memorable part being Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison in ‘Prime Suspect’.
And now the Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced she will receive the prestigious prize on April 30, 2018.
The society’s board chairman Ann Tenenbaum said: “It is an honour and a pleasure for us to present Helen Mirren with our 45th Chaplin Award. From housemaid to Queen and everything in between, Ms. Mirren has delivered masterful performances of complex characters, upending stereotype after stereotype along the way.”
The society’s prestigious award was first given to Charlie Chaplin in 1972, and named in honour of the silent movie star ever since.
Lesli Klainberg, the executive director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, added: “Ever since her debut in Michael Powell’s Age of Consent in 1969, Helen Mirren has been lighting up screens with one finely crafted performance after another.
“She has shown her exquisite range and proven her commitment to excellence and the art of cinema. The Film Society is honoured to present the 45th Chaplin Gala Award to Helen Mirren.”
The 72-year-old actress follows in a long line of legends who have been recipients of the accolade, with previous winners including Alfred Hitchcock, Laurence Olivier, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and last year’s honouree Robert De Niro.

Bill Nighy claims young actors don’t learn their lines

OHMYGOSSIP — Bill Nighy has criticised younger actors for not learning their lines properly.
The 67-year-old BAFTA-winning actor has had a career which has spanned five decades and featured roles in a number of box office hits such as playing Davy Jones in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise and appearing as rocker Billy Mack in ‘Love Actually’ and working with some of the biggest names in the business.
Nighy claims that he’s noticed a worrying trend with new actors who don’t seem to want to put the work in and learn their lines properly before turning up for work.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph newspaper, he said: “If you’re doing anything whether it’s a play or a film, learn every single word that you have to say backwards forwards and sideways before you go into a rehearsal room and before you go on a film set. That might sound like an obvious thing, but it’s not currently; there is a fashion for not knowing your lines.
“It’s been invented by people who don’t want to do their homework, even as a creative choice. You will not become imprisoned by intonations, and therefore it’s a discourtesy to your fellow professionals. That’s a piece of bulls**t from people who don’t do their homework. That’s an important thing to know. That’s as important a thing I could possibly say. You can’t rehearse with a book in your hand. And you can’t go and be on the sides of a film set and not know your lines until someone turns the camera. There is no lightning. Nothing’s going to strike. Rehearsal is not the enemy of spontaneity. The idea is the process is you say the lines over and over and over and over and over again until you can give the impression that you’ve never said them before and it’s just occurred to you. That’s the gig.”
Nighy is particularly dismayed that some of his younger peers have been advised not to do their homework and learn their lines, insisting it is just bad practice as a professional actor.
He added: “It’s entered the language in a very deep way. Professionals will advise young actors not to learn. It’s got that bad.”

Giovanni Ribisi to return to Avatar sequels

OHMYGOSSIP — Giovanni Ribisi has been confirmed to be returning to all four ‘Avatar’ sequels.
The 42-year-old actor starred as Parker Selfridge, the head of RDA, in the 2009 James Cameron movie and was revealed to be reprising his role in the highly anticipated four sequels, according to Deadline.
Ribisi has joined a host of returning cast members, such as Zoe Saldana, 38, Sam Worthington, 40, and Sigourney Weaver, 67, as well as villain Stephen Lang.
Kate Winslet has also joined the cast of the ‘Avatar’ sequels and will play a character called Ronal, but it isn’t yet clear whether her alter ego will be a Na’vi or a human.
Cliff Curtis will also star in the movie as Tonowari, the leader of the Metkayina, the reef people clan, in the Cameron-directed movies – all of which are poised to take place under water.
Cameron recently revealed, the first movie will be released in 2020, followed by the other three in 20121, 2024 and 2025.
He wrote: “Great to be working with the best team in the business! Avatar takes flight as we begin concurrent production on four sequels. The journey continues December 18, 2020, December 17, 2021, December 20, 2024 and December 19, 2025!”
Cameron also defended the 11-year gap since the first movie claiming the delay was due to creating the “overall vision.”
Back in May, he said: “It was a seven-year gap between ‘The Terminator’ and ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’, seven-year gap between ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’. It’s going to be obviously more like a 10-year gap between ‘Avatar’ and ‘Avatar 2’. But ‘Avatar 2’ you are going to with not the promise but the certainty of three more films beyond that, and that’s a very different concept with the audience. And a lot of the delay has been around creating that overall vision.”
The first ‘Avatar’ film, released in 2009, still remains the highest grossing movie at the worldwide box office, raking in as much as $2.79 billion.

Daniel Craig wants Monica Bellucci to return in Bond 25

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Craig reportedly wants Monica Bellucci to return in the next James Bond movie.
The 49-year-actor starred alongside Italian beauty in the last instalment of the franchise ‘Spectre’ back in 2015 with Bellucci playing the spy’s love interest Lucia Sciarra.
Craig is coming back as 007 for one final outing and he is keen for Bellucci, 53, to reprise her role opposite him.
A source told website Mirror Online: “He wants Monica Bellucci back, that’s for sure.”
At the time of filming ‘Spectre’, Bellucci was 51 which made her the oldest Bond girl ever and if she does appear in the new movie – which is slated for release in November 2019 – then she would break her own record.
Craig only recently confirmed he would be donning Bond’s tuxedo one final time, and his motivation for staying in the franchise is that he will break the late Sit Roger Moore’s record as the longest Bond when 2019 rolls around as he will have been in possession of the iconic part for 13 years.
He previously said: “I’ve been quite cagey about it … I think this is it. This is it. I just want to go out on a high note, and I can’t wait.”
Although not much is known about the plot of Bond 25 as of yet, it’s reported the movie could be incorporating some cutting edge gadgets, including spacecrafts and aquatic cars – things which have featured in previous Bond adventures.
A source said: “Bond needs to keep up with the times and will be looking into Elon Musk’s world, spacecrafts, planes that can fly across the earth in an hour, cars turning into submarines.
“That’s what we need to include now. Daniel’s stunts are going to move to a new level and have to include things that were shown in space movies like ‘Interstellar’. He’s involved every step of the way, as he always is, and he’s bursting with enthusiasm and excitement.”

Jared Leto: Working with Harrison Ford was a beautiful thing

OHMYGOSSIP — Jared Leto says working with Harrison Ford on ‘Blade Runner 2049’ was a “beautiful thing”.
The award-winning star appears alongside the Hollywood icon in the sequel to Harrison’s 1982 sci-fi hit ‘Blade Runner’ and Jared has revealed he relished the experience of working with one of his heroes.
He shared: “There were moments that I had with Harrison on the set that I’ll carry with me the rest of my life. Very emotional, powerful moments; very transcendent moments. And it was humbling to be a part of and something I’ll never forget.
“Harrison gave me a wonderful gift in the faith that he had in me. He’s not the kind, when you’re seeing pages and pages of dialogue, you’re sitting across from one of the biggest legends in the history of film, and to feel his confidence and his faith in me was a beautiful thing.”
Harrison, 75, has reprised the role of Rick Deckard in the sequel, and Jared has praised his performance in the new Denis Villeneuve-directed movie, which also stars Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas.
Reflecting on Harrison’s latest performance, Jared told Collider: “I mean he is just – I don’t have enough to say about him, he’s an absolute legend and he’s an inspiration to be around. And he’s a force of nature.”
Earlier this month, Ryan also said working with Harrison on the new movie “exceeded” his expectations.
Of starring alongside Harrison, Ryan confessed: “He exceeded my expectations.
“Show me someone who is not a fan and I will show you a liar, but we had high expectations obviously. Then when he got to set it was a relief because he just turned out to be the best collaborator.”
