      Fisher Stevens Regrets Behaving Like a 'D**k' on the Set of 'Friends'

      by

      Instagram

      Years after portraying Lisa Kudrow’s on-screen psychiatrist boyfriend on the hit sitcom, the ‘Motherless Brooklyn’ actor issues an apology to the stars of the series.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actor-turned-filmmaker Fisher Stevens has apologized to the cast of “Friends” for behaving like a jerk on the first season of the hit sitcom.
      He starred in one episode of the show’s first season as the psychiatrist boyfriend of Lisa Kudrow’s character Phoebe whose unwanted assessments of the friends causes them to take an instant dislike to him. Now, he admits he went too far with his portrayal of an “a**hole.”
      “At that moment in my career, I had never done a sitcom before,” he tells PeopleTV’s “Couch Surfing”. “I had never heard of ‘Friends’ because it was just the beginning of the show and I didn’t watch TV at the time much.”

      To make matters worse, he discovered the script he had studied before flying to Los Angeles had been rewritten.
      “That’s what sitcoms did and I didn’t know that,” he adds. “I was kind of an a**hole, I have to admit. (I was like), ‘What do you you mean? So I have to relearn lines that you’ve written that are worse than what you’d originally written?’ Yeah, I was a d**k. I’ve rarely seen any of those people on ‘Friends’ again, but I’m sure if you asked them about me, they would go, ‘What a New York snob.’ ”

      But he wants the “Friends” stars to know that he’s not really the jerk they worked with all those years ago: “I’m sorry guys. I’m sorry I was a d**k to you all… I was bad, I was wrong.”

      Ryan Reynolds Feels 'So Good' After Throwing Axe at Hugh Jackman's Photo on Snapchat Series

      by

      Snapchat

      The ‘Deadpool’ actor takes his feud with the ‘Wolverine’ star to a new level as he uses the latter’s headshot as a target during an axe-throwing session.

      Feb 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds has refuelled his fake feud with Hugh Jackman by hurling axes at his nemesis.
      The pair of pals has been poking fun at each other ever since they worked together on “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” over a decade ago, often embarrassing each other on social media – and now the “Deadpool” star has taken the spat to dangerous new levels on his web series, “Ryan Doesn’t Know”.
      In a new video, Ryan recruits an axe thrower to give him tips and after failing to hit the target with his first few attempts, the actor gave himself a little incentive by pinning a photo of Hugh to the centre of a board.
      The ploy worked and Reynolds hit the target straight away, calling it “satisfying.”

      Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Snapchat for “Ryan Doesn’t Know”. He is joined “by a group of talented emerging artists and creators from an array of fields” as he tries out some new tricks – including visual trickery with VFX expert Trevor Bell.
      The project is just one of the many original shows being launched by Snapchat.
      Will Smith has also hosted “Will From Home” on the social media platform. He talked to family members, guest stars like Tyra Banks, and members of the public who were staying home due to social distancing measures.
      Will’s son Jaden Smith additionally fronted a racial and justice series on Snapchat ahead of the Presidential election last year. He invited a number of his famous friends and family members such as Hailey Baldwin, Common, his sister Willow Smith, Janelle Monae, Yara Shahidi, and Lena Waithe to discuss topics like criminal justice and education reform and voting access.

      “Everything is choreographed,” Rege-Jean tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton. “It takes the risk and the embarrassment out of the scene.” Although some of the star’s family tried to dodge his sex scenes, they took up so much screen time, it proved impossible.

      He said, “It’s just me and the four walls and I don’t go to the front door because I am scared. You don’t know who’s going to be there. It’s the only thing that is real about the whole thing!”

      The ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ actress admits she struggled to keep up with the coronavirus protocols as she kept forgetting to wear face masks when she’s on the set.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Salma Hayek is constantly scaring people away on film and TV sets amid the Covid-19 pandemic because she frequently forgets to wear her face mask.
      The “Frida” star admits she really should know better, having served as an executive producer on Netflix’s Mexican drama series “Monarca”, but she has repeatedly been scolded by other cast and crewmembers for unintentionally going mask-less as she wanders from post to post.
      “I was producing a show, Monarca…, the second season, and so I, as a producer, had to go through all the (COVID) complications to get the show going, and so we could finish it,” she told U.S. breakfast show “Today”. “And even knowing all of that, when I went to do it (act) myself after being an actress for more than 30 years, I would do everything wrong!”

      “I eat most of the time on the craft table (sic) and I would go to the craft table, try to grab something, and they’re like, ‘No! Don’t touch anything!’ I’m like, ‘It’s a Snickers bar.’ They’re like, ‘No! Don’t touch it…!'” Salma recalled.
      “And after a take, I take my mask off and… I go, ‘I’m gonna go check it out on the monitor…,’ and everyone’s running away from me. ‘No, you can’t come this way, you have no mask!’ ”
      “I know that those are the rules but when you’re used to it (regular life on set) for so long, it’s so weird,” she added.
