‘I knew I needed help. I knew it was over’: Anthony Hopkins on alcoholism, anger, Academy Awards – and 50 years of sobriety

-
As the actor approaches his 90th year and publishes an autobiography, he reflects on his early years on stage, being inspired by Laurence Olivier, becoming a Hollywood star and conquering his demons ‘What’s the weather like over there?” asks Anthony Hopkins as soon as our video call begins. He may have lived in California for decades but some Welshness remains, in his distinctive, mellifluous voice – perhaps a little hoarser than it once was – and his preoccupation with the climate. It’s a dark evening in London but a bright, sunny morning in Los Angeles, and Hopkins is equally bright in demeanour and attire, sporting a turquoise and green shirt. “I came here 50 years ago. Somebody said: ‘Are you selling out?’ I said: ‘No, I just like the climate and to get a suntan.’ But I like Los Angeles. I’ve had a great life here.” It hasn’t been all that great recently, actually. In January this year, Hopkins’ house in Pacific Palisades was destroyed by the wildfires. “It was a bit of a calami...

Kim Kardashian conferred with psychologists before presenting her boyfriend to children

-
Kim Kardashian stated she conferred with psychotherapists before presenting her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, to the children. It is reported by People. According to the reality TV star, she did it because she liked to make certain her new relationship was "beneficial for her whole family." Kim Kardashian talked about her family on the Today show on June 21, where she spoke with hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie. When asked about introducing her children to boyfriend Pete Davidson, Kim explained that the decision was not an easy one. "I definitely wanted to wait six months, and it was a marker," Kim shared. Kim said she consulted with sister Kourtney Kardashian, who "went through it all," and then talked to several therapists about the subject before introducing Davidson to the children. Kim Kardashian has been dating Pete Davidson since October 2021. Their romance began after they shared an on-screen kiss during Kim's debut as a Saturday Night Live host. The reality star continues co-parenting with ex-husband Kanye West, who filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. Weeks later, she was spotted with a group of friends at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, for the theme park's annual Halloween party, which included Pete, her sister Kourtney and now husband, Travis Barker. Pete and Kim reportedly enjoyed a private rooftop dinner in Campania in Staten Island in November, followed by a group out at Club Zero Bond the next night. Kim filed for divorce from her 45-year-old estranged husband Kenny in February 2021, after seven years of marriage. In March, an LA judge declared Kim legally single because he was in custody. She originally filed for divorce in February 2021. Earlier this year, Kanye cast a shadow over her stomach and lower body through her social media as well as her music.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
