-
Actor reprises character of Daniel Cleaver but says he won’t play role of ‘60-year-old wandering around looking at young girls’ It is a universally acknowledged truth that Bridget Jones films are packed with humour and comedic scenes that attract viewers in their droves. However, in a slight departure, Hugh Grant has revealed that the fourth film in the series will also be “very sad”. Continue reading... from Film | The Guardian https://ift.tt/ZJoB2VO via IFTTT

The Boxing Debut Of Manchester United Icon Patrice Evra Has Been Postponed Due To A Cancellation Of A Celebrity Event

-
Due to a schedule difficulty, Patrice Evra's professional boxing debut has been postponed. Evra was a former Manchester United player who died in a car accident. It had been planned for him to make his professional debut later this month on the undercard of Martyn Ford's heavyweight match against Sajad Gharibi, also known as the Iranian Hulk, which was slated to take place later this month. The fight, on the other hand, was postponed. In the competition, which took place on April 30 at the O2 Arena in London, Evra was supposed to compete against social media personality Adam Saleh. Boxstar, however, has announced that the main event has been postponed until further notice as a result of the collapse of the main event. It was confirmed by the celebrity boxing organisation in an official statement issued on Sunday, which can be found here. "Boxstar regrets to inform you that the event scheduled on April 30 has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. The announcement follows the postponement of the main event match earlier this week due to scheduling issues. "For the event and its fans, losing such a large (in every sense of the word) major event would be catastrophic, and we can understand why. "As a result, we have chosen to postpone the event scheduled for April 30 rather than proceeding with it as scheduled. We recognise that this is a difficult decision to be forced to make. The event will be cancelled on April 30 and everybody who purchased tickets will be eligible for a full refund of their ticket purchase." Evra has been training incredibly hard in preparation for his boxing debut against Saleh, after announcing his retirement from professional football in 2019. Evra declared his retirement from professional football in 2019. "I'm incredibly excited to engage for the first time in my life in a boxing contest," the former Manchester United defender said in a statement to Boxstar about his intention to pursue the sport earlier this year. "I've always had a tremendous regard for individuals who box," he added. Throughout the build-up to the bout, the former Manchester United defender shared a lot of videos of himself sparring on his social media pages. Power and strength are crucial, but so are strategy and ability - in this way, it's similar to playing the game of chess.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al
