Hollywood actor Jacob Elordi, who is known for ‘Saltburn’, had a heated exchange with a photographer. The actor, 28, was in Paris recently when he had an encounter with the photographer. The actor was trying to keep a low profile amid his travels at the Gare du Nord station, as seen in a video shared online, reports ‘People’ magazine. When the photographer said, "Jacob, we love you”, the actor removed one of his headphones and replied, "You make it really hard for me to live”. As the photographer reiterated, "We love you", Elordi responded, "I don't love you", adding once more, "You make it really hard for me to live”. As per ‘People’, representatives for Elordi did not immediately respond to the request for comment on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Fans came to Elordi's defense after the exchange with the photographer. "This is honestly heartbreaking”, one wrote on social media. "Fame is not a free pass for the world to ignore someone’s boundaries”. "You can love someone’s work without making their life harder to live. Jacob deserves the same basic humanity and space as anyone else”, they continued. Added another supporter, "I would have been annoyed from the first second if someone followed me like this”. Elordi rose to fame in Netflix's The Kissing Booth franchise, and his star power continued to rise through his role on HBO's Euphoria. Some of his other major projects include Saltburn and Priscilla, as well as Frankenstein, which recently earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Next year, he will star in Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation opposite Margot Robbie. During a recent appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, Elordi spoke about his fame. “I woke up into a completely different world”, he recalled on the podcast, which was recorded at the Newport Beach Film Festival in November.

14 December,2025 08:48 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSActors Kathleen Robertson and Mark Engelhardt have bagged recurring roles opposite Justin Hartley and Fiona Rene in the hit CBS series 'Tracker'. Based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, Tracker stars Hartley as Colter Shaw, "a lone-wolf survivalist who roams the country as a reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries while contending with his own fractured family," per the official logline, Deadline reported. Robertson will essay the role of Maxine, a successful attorney at a major firm looking to engage Reenie (Fiona Rene) on what Maxine assures her is simply grunt work for an upcoming class action suit. It quickly becomes clear, however, that Maxine may have an entirely different game that she's playing. Engelhardt will play Emile Lang, a man with his own moral code. Cold, calculating and methodical. Robertson previously wrote, produced, and appeared in Roku/Lionsgate's contemporary series update of George Huang's 1994 film, Swimming with Sharks, that skewers and celebrates the Hollywood studio system. She recently wrapped a recurring arc on the upcoming fourth season of Amazon's Reacher. Her other notable credits include The Expanse, Murder in the First, and Bates Motel.

14 December,2025 10:45 AM IST | Los Angeles | ANIIt seems that the Fast & Furious franchise's final film will see the presence of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. Actor and producer of the car franchise, Vin Diesel, has hinted at Ronaldo’s possible involvement in the final film of the series. Vin Diesel hints at Ronaldo in Fast and Furious finale film Vin Diesel on Friday dropped a photo with Ronaldo on his Instagram feed. The picture featured the two posing with a thumbs-up. Sharing the image, the caption read, “Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… I gotta tell you he is a real one. We wrote a role for him…” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vin Diesel (@vindiesel) The picture, along with the caption, has led to increased excitement among fans of the football legend. However, neither Ronaldo nor Diesel has officially confirmed the inclusion of the football star in the final film of the Fast & Furious franchise. Paul Walker's character to reunite with Fast team? Meanwhile, Diesel recently said that Paul Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner, may make an appearance in the film. Speaking at Fuel Fest in June, the actor revealed that the 11th movie in the franchise will be released in theatres in April 2027. This is the release timeline he agreed upon with Universal Studios “under three conditions.” “Just yesterday I was with Universal Studios… The studio said to me, ‘Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast & Furious in April 2027?’ I said, ‘Under three conditions because I’ve been listening to my fan base,’” he explained. Diesel noted that he wanted the franchise to return to Los Angeles, return to car culture and street racing, and reunite his character Dom with Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner. “The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner,” Diesel said. “That is what you’re going to get in the finale.” Paul Walker died in a single-vehicle collision on November 30, 2013, at the age of 40, while he was still filming Fast & Furious 7. Diesel’s recent comments align with statements he made in 2023, when he teased a proper goodbye for Walker’s character. How Dom and Brian will reunite in Fast & Furious X: Part 2 remains unclear. If Brian were to appear in the final film, Paul Walker would likely be digitally recreated. The last instalment of the franchise, Fast & Furious X, was released in May 2023. The tenth film starred Vin Diesel, Alan Ritchson, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Rita Moreno, and Brie Larson, and went on to gross around 700 million dollars worldwide.

13 December,2025 01:29 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSActor Lili Reinhart has shared that she has Endometriosis. She went on to reveal how years of pain and confusion finally led to a confirmed diagnosis after laparoscopic surgery last week. Reinhart, who gained recognition for playing Betty Cooper in the teen drama series Riverdale (2017) and starred in the crime drama film Hustlers (2019) and the romantic drama film Chemical Hearts (2020), took to Instagram, where she shared a string of images from the hospital bed. She went on to share that her struggle began long before the diagnosis. “Last week, I was officially diagnosed with Endometriosis following laparoscopic surgery. Last year, I saw a urogynecologist and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. I was told there was no cure — and no lasting relief — for my symptoms,” the actor wrote. Reinhart said that she had “three hospital visits”. “Multiple urologists and gynaecologists. And not one of them seriously considered Endometriosis as the underlying cause of what I was experiencing.” It was only when she began working with pelvic floor therapists that the word “Endometriosis” even entered the conversation. “I pushed for an MRI on my own, which led to a diagnosis of adenomyosis. From there, I met with an Endometriosis specialist who helped me decide that laparoscopic surgery was the next step—while, at the same time, another gynecologist told me I “probably don’t have Endo” and should just go on the pill,” she added. Reinhart was happy that she listened to what her body was trying to tell her. “I’m glad I trusted my body and listened to my gut and will continue advocating for others to do so.” What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a condition resulting from the appearance of Endometrial tissue outside the uterus and causing pelvic pain, especially associated with menstruation.

12 December,2025 02:43 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSRoofman, the acclaimed Channing Tatum drama inspired by a true story that feels stranger, softer and more human than the headlines that once defined it, premieres exclusively on Lionsgate Play on December 19. The film made its first bow at the Toronto International Film Festival, where audiences rose in warm applause, moved by the quiet emotion it carries beneath its surface. Now, with its India debut on Lionsgate Play, Roofman arrives as a story that lingers in the spaces between who we are and who we hope to become. Based on a true story, director Derek Cianfrance blends crime drama, dark comedy, and heartfelt moments in a unique tale of escape and redemption. Roofman Plot At its heart, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester, a former Army Ranger whose carefully planned, non-violent robberies earned him a peculiar kind of infamy. After a daring escape, he slipped into the unnoticed corners of a toy store and built a hidden life in its rafters, watching families move below him with the kind of longing that settles deep and slow. As his double life gets complicated by risky romance and police pursuit, he struggles to balance love, loyalty, and his criminal instincts. The film traces the days he spent in that secret world, where small routines became anchors and borrowed conversations felt like glimpses of the life he wished he could claim. Channing Tatum brings a quiet tenderness to Manchester, revealing the ache behind his choices. Kirsten Dunst, Juno Temple, LaKeith Stanfield and Peter Dinklage surround him with performances shaped by warmth, suspicion, humour and heartbreak. Under the direction of Derek Cianfrance, the film stays close to the human pulse of the story, allowing its gentlest moments to speak the loudest. Channing Tatum met real-life Jeffrey Manchester Channing Tatum spoke directly with the real-life Jeffrey Manchester, the escaped convict and Army veteran he portrays, to forge an authentic emotional connection for the role. Speaking about his interaction, he said, "I didn’t know what to expect, talking to him [Jeffrey Manchester]. Some days, we talked about him, others we just talked about me. And talking to Jeff was really easy, he kind of takes care of you in the conversations. We’re telling the story about a guy that is a liar, a bit of a con man. And he can’t really get out of that. But he does have parts of his life he wants out there, because he has a lot of regrets for the hurt he’s caused." "One of the first things he said to me was, 'I should be in here. I deserve to be here.' He knows he’s done things wrong and that he’s responsible for that. When playing a real person, it’s the filmmaker I listen to. I’m just a vessel to help divine whatever the truth the filmmaker is trying to divine. All I can do is be of service to that and let it come through," he concluded.
