‘The masturbation scene wasn’t a big deal’: Théodore Pellerin on tackling his new film Nino’s challenges

Locked out of his apartment, a cancer-stricken Parisian is caught in a race against time to freeze his sperm. The rising star who plays him explains how he tackled a very initimate quest Just six months after the world rallied to defend poor Paul Dano , vulnerability may now be a hot commodity for an actor. What is “weak sauce” for Quentin Tarantino, who attacked Dano, can be mighty savoury for others. So it’s good timing that Théodore Pellerin, with his gangly frame and huge eyes, exudes that quality in the new French character study Nino. Gauche, hesitant and withholding, Pellerin is magnetic as a young Parisian locked out of his apartment for a weekend after a papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancer diagnosis. Pellerin explains Nino’s predicament, his inability to be candid with his loved ones, almost down to the cellular level. “His throat cancer isn’t insignificant,” he says. “It’s the part that links the head to the body.

Will Smith recalls the ‘hellish experience’ of drinking a hallucinogenic drink

Will Smith recalls the 'hellish experience' of drinking a hallucinogenic drink. Actor Will Smith called drinking ayahuasca a "hellish experience." Actor Will Smith recalled the experience of drinking the hallucinogenic drink ayahuasca. It is reported by Insider. The artist said that he had a two-year break in his career, during which he went to Peru and tried ayahuasca. He noted that he made "14 journeys", one of which he called "an infernal experience." "I drink, I sit, and then suddenly I start to see how all my money is flying away, and my house, and my career. And I'm trying to grab onto my money and my job. My whole life is falling apart," Smith shared. He added that he then began to hear the voice of his daughter Willow, who was shouting, "Help me!" The shaman present at the ceremony asked the actor to calm down, after which he focused on his daughter and forgot about his home and career. "My money is still disappearing, but I am completely calm, although hell is going on in my head," the artist recalled. According to him, this experience helped him realize that he can survive any difficulties in life, and 99 percent of the things that a person worries about never happen. Ayahuasca is a decoction made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, used as the base of the drink. It is traditionally used in the ancient spiritual practices of the indigenous people of the Amazon - the rites of "communication with the spirits." Representatives of indigenous communities often use them as a way to combat diseases of a different nature, as well as to harmonize relations between tribal members.
