OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Patrick Stewart left the ‘Logan’ crew jealous when he was carried around by Hugh Jackman.
The 76-year-old actor’s wheelchair bound character Professor Charles Xavier had to be carried up flights of stairs by Hugh’s Wolverine in the new movie and Patrick admitted many of the people who worked with them on the shoot were extremely envious.
He told USA Today: “There were numerous envious glances in my direction by certain members of the crew.
“I think that is one thing I shall have on my CV in the future — a Knight of the Realm and also the distinction of being carried in the arms of Hugh Jackman all around the Deep South of the United States. I look on it as a significant distinction.”
And Patrick praised Hugh’s strength as the star lugged him around the film set.
He said: “There was one moment where he had to pick me up off the floor and all of this is done in one shot. And I am glad to assure you, and the world at large, that I was never ever in any peril. Even when he was carrying me quickly up and down deep flights of stairs.”
Meanwhile, Hugh, 48, says ‘Logan’ is his final appearance as Wolverine and he’s “loving” being able to enjoy fatty foods again now that he doesn’t have to keep in shape for the role.
He said: “Now I’m eating and loving it. Sometimes waking up at two in the morning just to have breakfast cereal, and then go back to bed. With it still in my lap.
“It’s sort of unbelievable to me, what I did for 17 years. The first one, I thought you could get into shape in three weeks. The director pushed all the ‘shirt off’ scenes to the very end. You stop drinking water about 30 hours before you shoot. You lose ten pounds of water weight.”
And it isn’t just Hugh who’s happy he’s no longer under pressure to stay slim, as his wife Deborra-Lee Furness is pleased he will no longer look better than her.
Hugh said recently: “I think she’s just happy I’m off that diet. She said, ‘You’ve got to understand that your job as a husband is not to be in shape and make me look good.”
And he revealed his wife didn’t even want him to audition for Wolverine in the first place.
He recalled: “She told me, ‘Hugh, you were at the National Theatre with Sir Trevor Nunn, you cannot have claws coming out of your hands, this is ridiculous’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dakota Johnson made her parents “promise” not to watch the ‘Fifty Shades’ movies.
The 27-year-old actress – who is the daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson – admits it is “hard” for her mother and father to know they’ll never see her in the raunchy high-profile trilogy, but she is thankful they agreed to her request.
Asked if they have seen the films, she said: “No, that is not happening, nor will it ever happen. That’s hard for them, just this huge moviement around these movies that I’m part of, but not being able to watch them.
“I know it’s tough. But I made them promise and they respect that.”
And Dakota will be particularly thankful her parents won’t see ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ because it’s even raunchier than ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ was.
She told OK! magazine: “The sex is definitely better in this one. [My character] knows more what she wants. She’s more confident now and has an understanding of what’s making him tick.
“Their connection is stronger, emotions are deeper. That makes sex better, doesn’t it?”
The final instalment, ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ was shot at the same time as ‘Fifty Shades Darker’, so Dakota is going to miss working so closely with Jamie Dornan – who plays Christian Grey to her Anastasia Steele – and hanging out with his wife Amelia Warner and their daughters Dulcie, three, and 12-month-old Elva.
She said: “Jamie is my dream partner and supported me. I’ve supported him.
“It’s a lot to ask of two people, of two actors, to take on these highly emotional, sexual situations, but I think we’ve done us proud.
“He’ll be my friend for the rest of my life. I adore him, I adore his wife and his gorgeous babies. They’re the most perfect little family unit.
“That was probably the best part of the shoot, getting to hang out and play with them So cute.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Watson feared Dan Stevens would break her foot when they danced together for ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
The ‘Beauty and the Beast’ stars rehearsed extensively for the film’s iconic waltz to the titular song in the live adaptation of the classic fairytale, but the actress was “slightly terrified there might be a mishap because her co-star was on stilts and in heavy prosthetics for filming in character.
She recalled: “Dan was essentially wearing steel-capped stilts. I was slightly terrified my foot was going to get broken or we were going to end up in a heap on the floor. So it had an extra edge to it.”
But Emma admitted rehearsing for the famous scene was the ideal way to bond with her co-star.
She said: “It was actually a really good pre-film bonding. We got to know each other and learned to trust each other. I would recommend all couples go and dance together, stamp on each other’s toes, be completely off-beat. It’s perfect.”
And the pair think the dance is a great “metaphor” for the relationship between their characters.
Emma told Empire magazine: “”A waltz is the perfect way to do that because you are dizzy and breathless.
“You are having to put trust in the other person. You are learning how to keep time and rhythm with another person, not just yourself. It’s the perfect metaphor.”
But despite the 26-year-old star’s concerns about Dan’s stilts, he insists he became very proficient with them.
He said: “I got very good at stairs.”
And Dan found filming “liberating” as he’d get to shoot his scenes twice because of the facial capture process.
He said: “Emma would come in, sit on the other side of the camera and play the scene again just to capture the facial expression. It was very liberating — you got two cracks at a scene.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Hiddleston is thrilled to be playing a hero in ‘Kong: Skull Island’.
The 36-year-old actor has portrayed Thor’s villainous brother Loki in the Marvel movies ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘Thor’ but admitted it was lovely to be asked to play the good guy in the new action film.
He told USA Today: “Action has always been a part of me. In the Marvel films, it’s hidden in the playfulness and mischief of that character. But actually, there’s several one-to-ones with ‘Captain America’ and ‘Thor’ where the action requires choreography. But ‘Kong’ puts all of that centre stage.
“It’s like, this (Tom’s character former SAS tracker Captain James Conrad] is the guy you want on the ground in a jungle. It’s lovely to be a hero.”
Tom’s ‘Kong’ character is introduced to viewers with a bar fight scene but the actor admitted he would probably run from trouble in a similar situation.
Explaining that he was trained by former members of Britain’s Special Air Service and a retired Navy SEAL for the film, he said a paratrooper advised him: “If you get into a bar fight, the best thing to do is to pretend you don’t know what you’re doing and run, get the hell out of there. That’s what he said. You don’t want to get yourself in trouble.”
Meanwhile, Tom – who co-stars alongside Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson – recently admitted he was impressed by the “truly monstrous size and scale” of Kong in the movie.
He said: “He is truly monstrous in size and scale and scope. He’s 90 feet tall. We’re captivated by Kong’s power and majesty. He is the mystery of the unknown, he is a terrifying force of nature with an intelligence we don’t understand.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Watson was terrified of donning the iconic yellow dress in ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
The 26-year-old actress – who plays Belle opposite Dan Stevens as the Beast – admitted the most “nerve-wracking” scene for her in the live-action remake of the classic fairytale was when she had to perform the classic waltz with her hunky co-star because it is so “beloved” in the imagination of young girls and she didn’t want to taint it for them.
She told E! News: “It was kind of nerve-wracking. That yellow dress is beloved in the imagination of girls all over the world you want it to be perfect.”
And Emma joked her own love life is never going to “get better” than the romantic scene from the film.
She said: “I was like, ‘I am probably never in my life gonna have a more romantic moment than this! I’m peaking at 26! My most romantic moment! It’s never gonna get better than this!’ ”
The British actress recently described the film as “unapologetically romantic”.
She said: “Pure joy this film, it’s unapologetically romantic and sometimes we need that. And I think particularly now we need that. You come out fuller than when you went in.”
And the star found it “really fun” playing the lead role as the iconic Disney princess because she was able to “pad” out her character’s backstory.
She explained: “That’s the wonderful thing about Belle I feel like even in the original she was very progressive she was kind of a departure from a lot of the other Disney princess characters and so I think it was really just where in the moments I can fill in a bit more of her back story I can pad her out a little bit more, it was really fun to be able to do that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Gad stole his wedding ring from a film set.
The 35-year-old actor – who married Ida Darvish, the mother of his two daughters, in 2008 – had his original piece of martial jewellery stolen while working on ‘The Wedding Ringer’ so swiped a replacement from the props department of the 2015 movie.
Asked if he has ever stolen from a set, he said: “Yes, the ring on my finger right now.
“I had my ring stolen – my wedding ring, stolen – on the set of ‘The Wedding Ringer’. It’s ridiculous.
“So I said, ‘Screw it, I’m taking the damn rings’ – which is probably worth nothing.
“I told them after and they were like, ‘Oh, of course.’ ”
The ‘Beauty and the Beast’ star always likes to take his own music for his trailer, but admits he has the tastes of a “16-year-old girl”.
He told Total Film magazine: “I always like to have a book and my music.
“Right now, I’m reading the actual Agatha Christie novel of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and digging for clues in that.
“I have very eclectic musical tastes. I really have the sensibility of a 16-year-old girl.
“I love pop music. I love Drake. I love Katy Perry. I love Taylor Swift. I just love fun music that’s kind of empty calories in the morning.”
Josh adored working on ‘Beauty and the Beast’ because it was a fun shoot and he was able to take his kids on set.
He said: “I have to say ‘Beauty and the Beast’ [has been the best experience] because I was able to bring my family with me.
“Seeing my kids walk on those sets, it’s crazy.”
“And also, the opportunity to approach it like I would a theatrical event was really fun. For Dan [Stevens], Emma [Watson] and Luke [Evans] and I to do those dance rehearsals and singing rehearsals, to get in that space – my God, that’s like, ‘Pinch yourself’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Guy Ritchie didn’t want King Arthur to be a “worthy” character.
The 48-year-old director has been working on ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ and wanted to make the titular medieval hero – who is played by Charlie Hunnam – as “likeable” as possible so felt it was important he had a “naughty” side.
He said: “The fundamental challenge with King Arthur is to make him likeable.
“If you’re not careful, he’s worthy. And once someone’s worthy they’re not likeable. So we had to create a character naughty enough for us to like him and simultaneously have him go on a journey that makes him respectable.”
Guy had planned to depict a “rather dour, gloomy world” – only to find themselves shooting in a “f***ing stunning” forest filled with greenery and dandelion seeds blowing in the breeze.
He laughed: “There’s all this tough-speak going on, and you have all these fluffy seed-pods blowing around! Not the aesthetic I was going for.
“I’ve learned that if you’ve got this in mind, then you get that. So you work with that.
“It looks like f***ing fantasy!”
Charlie’s King Arthur is more “streetwise” than previous versions of the character, having grown up in a brothel in post-Roman Londinium.
The actor told Empire magazine: “He’s more streetwise and rough around the edges than most of the Arthurs we’ve seen.
“He’s a wide-boy scoundrel with a heart of gold, who has a health ho has a healthy disdain for the ruling class.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael K. Williams has signed up to star in the Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ spin-off movie.
The ‘Boardwalk Empire’ actor is the latest name to join the cast of the highly-anticipated movie, which explores the origins of the Rebel Alliance leader, but as with all previous casting announcements, details of who the 50-year-old star will be playing and their significance to the plot, are being kept under wraps.
News of his casting was announced by Variety.
While the movie – which stars Alden Ehrenreich in the lead role – is shrouded in secrecy, J.J. Abrams recently teased it has an “amazing script”.
The 50-year-old filmmaker – who was at the helm of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ – said: “I can tell you it is an amazing script and the cast is obviously extraordinary. I think it is a thrill to be a part of something that meant so much to me as a kid and to be part of allowing it to mean so much for kids now.
“It is fun to see it live on in various forms and ways even five years ago I would have never imagined it would have continued and knowing what is coming up is even more exciting.”
Fans were recently given a first look into the new movie when bosses released the first picture of the cast together to coincide with principal photography officially starting at Pinewood Studios in London last month.
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller said: “Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous. We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”
A few of the plot were also revealed, with the story set to follow Han Solo and his sidekick Chewbacca as they encounter Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) ahead of the events of ‘Star Wars: A New Hope’.
The as-yet untitled Han Solo spin-off movie is slated for release in 2018.
