Henry Cavill’s vulnerable Superman


Henry Cavill says his Superman isn't afraid to show his feelings.
The 32-year-old actor reprises his role as the superhero in the upcoming 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and Henry believes his incarnation of the famous character is extremely modern.
He told the Sunday Times Style magazine: "There's plenty of opportunity to delve deep into the character, because he's a very complex character. He's an alien, but he's invulnerable, so there are deep psychological issues there. You can talk about that because there's more acceptance now of men having genuine feelings. So as Superman, I don't have to be tough and strong, which is important."
But while Superman isn't afraid to be vulnerable, Henry admitted he prefers to maintain a stiff upper lip when it comes to his own feelings.
He said: "There are plenty of times when I'm not that restrained, but I think there's something to be said for a bit of decorum in one's basic, everyday public life. Maybe that's a very British thing, the old stiff upper lip, but I do think there's something to be said for it."

Mean Girls fan Margot Robbie


Margot Robbie recited lines from 'Mean Girls' to Tina Fey.
The Australian actress is a big fan of the teen comedy and couldn't resist quoting the script at her 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' co-star, who wrote the screenplay for the 2004 movie.
She said: "I love 'Mean Girls'. I can recite most of the lines and sometimes I would do that in front of Tina until I remembered that she actually wrote the script."
The 25-year-old beauty was initially "intimidated" by Tina, but the 'Saturday Night Live' star quickly put her at ease.
She said: "I have to admit it is intimidating when you know you're working with one of the greatest sketch comedians and comedic actresses of all time.
"Tina is such a wonderful person, so generous and friendly, that she made it very easy for me to feel comfortable.
"She's so talented at what she does that when you're on the set she inspires you to lift your game."
Margot plays a war reporter in the true-life tale and doesn't think it is a job she could do for real.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I think I could handle the partying side of being a war correspondent but I couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in a war zone on a daily basis."

Nick Frost didn’t need special effects for dwarf role


Nick Frost spent most of 'The Huntsman: Winter's War' "on his knees".
The British star plays dwarf Nion in the fantasy film - which is as a prequel/sequel to 2012's 'Snow White and the Huntsman' - and revealed there was little special effects used to make him appear smaller.
He said: "If the shots are wide enough, you never know that it's not us. I think Cedric [Nicolas-Troyan, director]'s theory is that the human eye can be fooled pretty easily. I thought it would be really technical. But most of the time it's like, 'Do you mind getting on your knees. I've spent most of my time on my knees!"
The 43-year-old star is joined by Welsh comedic star Rob Brydon, who plays fellow dwarf Gryff, and two new female dwarves, Mrs. Bromwyn, played by Sheridan Smith and Doreena (Alexandra Roach).
And Nick teased: "You may or may not receive some dwarf-on-dwarf lovin."
'Cilla' star Sheridan also found it surreal playing a little person, and the basic tricks they learned to use.
She said: "Oh my God, it was hilarious! It's amazing really. Things you don't think about. You can't just bend down and pick something up. You have to put one hand down and pick it up with the other.
Meanwhile, leading stars Jessica Chastain and Chris Hemsworth admit they would "die laughing" at Nick and Rob during filming.
The red-haired beauty told Total Film magazine: "It's been hard being able to keep a straight face. Chris and I die laughing!"


Brie Larson needed to find herself


Brie Larson needed to "find herself" after making 'Room'.
The 26-year-old actress admits playing Ma in the gritty drama took its toll on her because she got "in deep" and needed to figure out who she was afterwards.
She said: "This time a year ago I was still trying to figure out who I was.
"The movie was done but I was in deep, searching, trying to remember who I was before this movie.
"Who I was by the time the movie was over was so far away from who I was when I started. So it was a long process of trying to find myself."
But these days, Brie - who scooped Best Actress at last month's Oscars - is more secure in who she is and felt "strong and excited" when she picked up her award.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "The weird part is, I'm standing here now, completely myself.
"Everything about this experience, down to the way I felt about it, the dress I'm wearing, has been pointedly about it being a representation of who I am.
"I feel really strong and excited to be holding this gold guy. It's an incredible metaphor for how I feel inside."

Charlize Theron loves nutbag role


Charlize Theron loves playing a "nutbag" in 'The Huntsman: Winter's War'.
The 40-year-old actress was happy to reprise her role of Queen Ravenna from 'Snow White and the Huntsman' for the new film because she can't imagine enjoying any other character more.
She said: "I love playing this character. I love creating her and finding her. I'll probably never enjoy playing another character this much. She's such a nutbag."
The movie, which has been described as a prequel/sequel to 2012's 'Snow White and the Huntsman', sees Emily Blunt play Ravenna's younger sister Freya, aka the Ice Queen, and the pair have a very "complicated" relationship.
Emily told Total Film magazine: "Like any sisterly relationship, it's a complicated one. I think it's quite accurate, in a way to reality. Take away the crazy gowns were wearing and you've got fundamentally a relationship that is fairly conflicted and riddled with everything from love to heartbreak.
"They have a very strong sisterly bond but a corrupted... They are double the trouble for Chris Hemsworth."
Charlize thinks her character is the more dominant sibling, but despite the tension between them, she insists the two queens have a "common bond".
She said: "If they were wolf-pups, I'd eat all the food. And have kicked her out of the den a few times. She's definitely manipulative towards her sister - she abuses her power to get what she wants.
"But deep down inside it was important for me and Emily to ground it in something that was real. There's a common bond there.
"And they have a real love and appreciation because of that . But then their nature is - maybe my character more than hers - to survive no matter what. And my character does it quite vicously."

Henry Cavill: Movie millions inspire me to act


Henry Cavill acts because "the money is fantastic".
The 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' star is delighted with the success he is experiencing in his career and has revealed he was attracted to making movies as much for the cash on offer as he is for his love of the art form.
The hunk - who reprises his role as Superman in upcoming superhero film 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' - told Man of the World magazine: "I'm slightly wary of saying this, because it can be frowned upon, certainly by members of my community and people outside my community ... but I'm not just doing this for the art. The money's fantastic and that's something which I deem - and again, it is frowned upon - very important."
The 32-year-old British actor uses his big pay cheques to treat all of his friends and family to lavish holidays and dinners.
His main personal extravagance is that he always flies first class everywhere he goes, because "economy, sucks".
He shared: "You've got to enjoy life! I mean, you've got to. When I'm making money I'm spending it on nice stuff, whether that be lavish holidays for me and my friends or just seeing something and going in a shop and saying, 'Yeah, I want that for the house,' and buying it.
"Spending money on my friends, buying dinner for everyone, drinks for everyone, it's a nice place to be, and I like people to feel cared for.
"People will be calling me a c**k as they're reading this, but travel's great as long as you're going first class. I mean, traveling to New Zealand in economy, it sucks. Especially if you're over six feet. But first class? I'm not going to ever pretend to be coy about that. I love it."

Marlon Wayans: Hollywood is money driven not racist


Marlon Wayans says Hollywood isn't "black or white" just "green".
The 42-year-old comedic actor - who plays Christian Black in the upcoming spoof film 'Fifty Shades of Black' alongside Jane Seymour - believes the furore over the lack diversity in the Oscars nominations list this year wasn't caused by institutionalised racism in the Academy but was rather an issue of a lack of cash flow towards movies with black actors in them.
The 'White Chicks' star said: "The bigger issue is with us making more diverse movies. But there's also a responsibility on filmmakers of colour. We need to be making more of these films on epic scales in order to be considered for Oscars. Then it's on the audiences to go out and support the movies. Hollywood's not black and white, it's green."
What's more, Marlon thinks if Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio was African/American his film 'The Revenant' - which earned him the Best Actor Oscar and was directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Inárritu - would have been limited by the available budget.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "'The Revenant' cost a lot of money. That production would have been shut down so quickly if it was a black film, 'Put somebody in a bear costume! Put Larry in a bear costume and let him do what he got to do! We'll just film it with a soft lens.' "

Obviously there's only so much I can say but what I can say is that we shot the first one all in the UK, that won't be the case with the next one. It's a far more international story, we're going to some incredible places."
