    Lana Condor Feels 'More Horrible Mentally' Trying to Embrace Fully 'To All the Boys' Success

    Self Magazine

    Talking about the effect of her big break to her mental health, the star of ‘To All the Boys: Always and Forever’ credits her boyfriend of five years, Anthony De La Torre, for his support.

    Feb 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actress Lana Condor hit a low point mentally following the success of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” because she was so “burned out”.
    The young star shot to fame after the Netflix release of the 2018 teen romantic comedy, and reprised her role as Lara Jean Covey for the 2020 sequel, but trying to make the most of her big break left Lana a mess, emotionally.
    She told Self magazine, “I was just saying yes to everything because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you want to capitalize on it, and you want to feel like you’re fully embracing everything.”
    “But I’ve never felt more horrible mentally. I was so burned out. I would go home at night and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I would shake going to bed and shake waking up because it was just so much stimulation.”
    Luckily, Lana was able to rely on her boyfriend of five years, Anthony De La Torre, for support.
    “Anthony – every night or every morning – folds my PJs (pyjamas) and tucks them under my pillow so that I don’t have to go looking for them. That to me is the biggest expression of love. That’s so much better than, I don’t know. A hot air balloon,” she shared.

    “He’s been there and supportive. Never once has he ever held me back. He always just wants the best for my future. He wants to be a part of it.”
    “That’s what I would say to (my character) Lara Jean: If someone’s making you choose (between them and) your career or your future and your success and your path and your journey, that’s probably not the right person to be with,” she added.

    To help her mental health, Lana and Anthony moved from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington, and now she is in a great place mentally and physically.
    “I feel more human,” she said of the relocation. “Life is slower where I’m living now, and I have never felt happier, because I feel fuller.”
    Lana will return as Lara Jean once more for the third and final film in the franchise, “To All the Boys: Always and Forever”, which is set to premiere on Netflix on February 12.

    John Duhamel Officially Tapped to Replace Armie Hammer in 'Shotgun Wedding'

    WENN

    The ‘Transformers’ actor has officially been signed on to fill in the vacant spot left by the ‘Call Me by Your Name’ star, joining Jennifer Lopez in the upcoming feature film.

    Feb 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Josh Duhamel has officially replaced embattled Armie Hammer in Jennifer Lopez’s new romantic comedy, “Shotgun Wedding”.
    Hammer exited the project last month amid a sex and direct messaging scandal, insisting he couldn’t commit to being away from his children on location while his reputation was being ripped apart by multiple ex-girlfriends.
    It was quickly reported that “Transformers” star Josh Duhamel was being considered as his replacement, and now he is officially boarding the Lionsgate film, which will also feature Jennifer Coolidge and Sonia Braga.
    “We couldn’t be happier for our bride and groom of this Shotgun Wedding,” Erin Westerman, the president of production for the Lionsgate Motion Pictures Group, says. “We know Josh and Jennifer will make a compelling and sexy on-screen couple and they will be fun sparring partners as their dream destination wedding erupts into a memorable nightmare.”

    “We are also thrilled to bring Jennifer and Sonia on to our cast as Mothers of the Bride and Groom. Their acting and comedic talents will add another fun layer to this already-rich action-comedy.”
    Lopez and Duhamel will play a couple whose destination wedding turns into a nightmare when the bride and groom-to-be and their guests are taken hostage.
    Jason Moore will direct from a screenplay by Mark Hammer and Liz Meriwether. Filming will begin next month (Mar21).
    When announcing his departure from the movie, Armie Hammer said in January, “I’m not responding to these b******t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.”

    John Cena Got Sick From Filming 'Most Difficult Stunt' for 'The Suicide Squad'

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The wrestler-turned-actor shows his ‘face of defeat’ as he talks about the ‘most difficult stunt’ he filmed for James Gunn’s upcoming DC star-studded anti-hero movie.

    Feb 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Wrestling icon-turned-actor John Cena was made to force down 40 empanadas in one take for filmmaker James Gunn’s upcoming “The Suicide Squad”.
    The “Blockers” star portrays Peacemaker in the DC Comics blockbuster, and he showed off his superhero costume on Monday (01Feb21) as he appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
    During the interview, Cena shared a photo of himself onset as he struggled to wolf down his 37th pastry for one scene, and admitted eating empanada after empanada was his biggest challenge in the film.

    “That, right there, is the face of defeat,” he said of the image.
    “It was one big take, because the horribly beautiful, corrupted mind of James Gunn operates in so many intricate pieces and he wanted this big, giant take where I thought it’d be cool to be like, ‘Oh, it’d be funny to eat the whole empanada. Throw the thing over my shoulder, the guy catches it. It’s gonna be great. Everybody’s gonna think it’s awesome.'”
    It was only when he realised he had to repeat the stunt multiple times that Cena realised it wasn’t the best idea. “I had to do it 40 times, and nearly made myself sick,” he confessed. “That was my most difficult stunt in The Suicide Squad.”
    Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad”, due for release in August (21), is set to serve as a standalone sequel to 2016’s “Suicide Squad”, and will feature Cena alongside Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Idris Elba, and Peter Capaldi.
    Cena will also be filming a Peacemaker TV spin-off, written and directed by Gunn.

A Nigerian-American filmmaker whose work focuses on cultures and experiences of Africans and the diaspora. A visual activist from Texas who forces her viewers to confront issues that are deemed difficult to tackle.These are among the 16 artists selected for the 2021 residency at Black Rock Senegal, the seaside studio in the West African capital city of Dakar belonging to Kehinde Wiley, the painter best known for his portrait of former President Barack Obama.The artists, who will spend several weeks at the lavish studio along a volcanic-rock-lined shore, express themselves in a variety of formats and come from across the globe. But many in this year’s group share Wiley’s passion for using art to explore social change.His most recent works include the stained glass fresco of breakdancers in the Moynihan Train Hall and his “Rumors of War” statue in Richmond, Va. — a Black man with ponytailed dreadlocks on horseback in the style of monuments to Confederate war generals. Wiley is not part of the Black Rock selection committee, which aims to consider the class of artists as a whole and tries to pick a diverse group of residents, including personal identities and nationalities and the medium they work in.Among the residents is Hilary Balu, from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, whose recent brightly colored yet sorrowful series “Voyage vers Mars” explores the tragedy of contemporary migration — in this case the flight of a population to another continent, like astronauts leaving a destroyed earth for another planet.Hilary Balu’s “Voyage vers Mars 5,” explores the flight of populations to other continents.Credit…MAGNIN-AAbbesi Akhamie, who lives in Washington, is a Nigerian-American writer, director and producer whose latest short film, ​“The Couple Next Door” from last year, premiered at the Aspen Shortsfest and won the Audience Choice Award at the Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival.Irene Antonia Diane Reece from Houston uses her family archives as a form of activism and liberation, with some of her work exploring family history and racial identity.Other residents include Delali Ayivor, a Ghanaian-American writer; Mbali Dhlamini, a multidisciplinary artist, and Arinze Ifeakandu, a Nigerian writer who recently graduated from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and writes about queer male intimacy. The residents will each spend several weeks at a time in the studio, with coronavirus restrictions in place, in staggered stages, beginning this month.Some might overlap with Wiley, who has spent much of the past year in Dakar, using the global pandemic as an opportunity to pause and paint, sometimes working with Black Rock residents who have helped him in his work.“I’m learning to view, discuss, and critique art that often depicts the Black body from a range of perspectives that span the globe,” Wiley said in an email exchange. “There’s an unending variety of rubrics through which artists are pushing the possibilities of representation.”AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

    First 'Thor: Love and Thunder' Set Photos Show Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt in Full Costume

    Marvel Studios

    The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star joins the Australian hunk during the filming of the fourth ‘Thor’ movie on Centennial Park in Sydney under the direction of Taika Waititi.

    Feb 2, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Photos from the set of “Thor: Love and Thunder” have landed online, giving first look at Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt in full costume. Both actors were spotted filming on Centennial Park in Sydney on Monday, February 1.
    The God of Thunder depicter flexed his biceps in Thor’s new costume as he rocked a red sleeveless vest with black accent on the collar, paired with blue pants. He also had Thor’s long hair back, with what looked like a small braid on one side.
    The Aussie hunk held Thor’s trusted Mjolnir, while Pratt joined his fellow “Avengers” actor on the set and seemed to admire the weapon as well. Star-Lord himself appeared to sport a familiar outfit, with some new trimmings.

    Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt were spotted on ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ set in Sydney.
    Earlier that day, Thor embraced his more human side as Hemsworth was seen ditching his vest and only donning a white sleeveless top, paired with jeans. Pratt also took off Star-Lord’s robe, unveiling a long-sleeve shirt underneath.

    They stood near a pile of ruins, which was dumped in the middle of the park, surrounded by brown set pieces that resemble rocks or ant colonies. Hemsworth’s stunt double was seen getting ready nearby. Also spotted on the set that day were Sean Gunn, who was dressed in a purple outfit as Kraglin, and Karen Gillan, who was fully dressed as Nebula.
    Hemsworth and Taika Waititi, who is directing the film, previously kicked off the production of “Thor: Love and Thunder” by taking part in a traditional ceremony. On January 25, the 37-year-old actor shared pictures taken from an indigenous land acknowledgment ceremony called Welcome to Country ceremony.
    He posted on Instagram photos of him and the filmmaker posing with native Australian dancers. The God of Thunder depicter dressed casually in a white sleeveless top and black shorts, while Waititi opted for a formal look in a navy suit.
    While Hemsworth and his family have been staying in their native Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, other actors, including Tessa Thompson and Dave Bautista, had been isolating themselves after arriving in the country before the start of the shooting. Matt Damon recently brought his family Down Under, sparking a speculation that he’s joining the movie in an undisclosed role.
    The upcoming fourth installment of the Thor film franchise will also bring back Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, who will be taking up the mantle as Thor, and feature Christian Bale as the villain, Gorr the God Butcher.
    It is set for a May 6, 2022 release in the United States.
