Child star who went nude with Nicole Kidman has ditched fame for fishing in shocking transformation

The former child star Cameron Bright has undergone a dramatic transformation in the years since he starred in a nude scene with Nicole Kidman in a controversial film.
The actor, now 32, appeared in a 'creepy' bathtub sequence with the actress, now 57, in the 2004 psychological thriller Birth, and was later involved in smaller projects, and starred in three installments of The Twilight Saga.
But he has since stepped away from the limelight and taken up fishing as he occasionally shows off his catches on social media.

Around four years ago, he opened up about wanting to become a film producer and shared an Instagram post of a script he was working on with a friend.
But he has since moved into video game streaming on Twitch, lives in Vancouver Island, Canada after leaving Hollywood behind.
In February, he shared photos of himself fishing and showing off his haul on a boat as he bundled up against the chilly weather.
Over two decades ago, the film he starred in alongside Kidman was the subject of controversy due to the bathtub scene, which many critics called 'creepy'.
Birth follows Kidman's character Anna, a widow who is planning to marry her boyfriend Joseph (Danny Huston) about 10 years after her late husband Sean's death.
But on the night of her engagement party a young boy also named Sean arrives to tell her his her late husband reincarnated.
At first, she ignores him but when he reveals his uncanny knowledge of her former husband's life, she starts to believe that he could be telling her the truth.
Last year Nicole spoke about the movie directed by Jonathan Glazer and said she does not agree it was 'strange' and 'unsettling.'
'I just have an enormous amount of trust,' she told the Los Angeles Times in April 2024. 'I will just go places and align with people and go, "Here I am. I'm yours. We'll live and die together."'
Cameron also played the Volturi vampire Alec, twin brother to Jane, who is played by Dakota Fanning, in the Twilight films New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), and Breaking Dawn, Part II (2012).

Elio gives Pixar its worst ever box-office opening despite positive reviews

Pixar has had its worst box office opening ever with Elio, its new, alien-themed children's animation, taking just an estimated US$21m in North America and $14m internationally, despite generally positive reviews. Elio, about an orphaned boy whose dream of being abducted by (friendly) aliens comes true, struggled against the competition: Disney's live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, which ate the competition with $37m in its second weekend; and Danny Boyle's zombie threequel 28 Years Later, which landed 23 years after his cult classic 28 Days Later and took $30m in North America and $60m globally. Pixar, the powerhouse studio behind Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, had been bracing for modest results for Elio as it weathers an industry-wide trend of original animations struggling to perform against franchises and remakes. While Pixar has found success with its own franchises – most recently Inside Out 2, which grossed an estimated $155m in its opening weekend and a total of $1.7bn globally in 2024 – it has found original ideas a harder sell. Ahead of Elio's opening weekend, pre-release tracking suggested it would be on par with Pixar's 2023 original Elemental, which took just under $30m in its opening weekend – a significant step down from the high-water mark for original animations set by the studio with 2017's Coco, which took $49m at the domestic box office in its opening weekend and $814.3m globally across its release. On Sunday, Pixar's corporate parent, Disney, said it was confident its latest movie would find the same longer-term success as Elemental, a sleeper hit that ultimately took almost $500m globally. Exit data bodes well, with Elio scoring glowing PostTrak exit results from its opening weekend, and an A CinemaScore, including an A+ from kids. Reviews have also been generally positive, although some critics have found it underwhelming. Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said the film had 'charm, likability and that potent ingredient: childhood loneliness and vulnerability', while also describing the large chunk of the film set in space as '[occasionally] a little formulaic, a bit programmatic'. Pixar's most successful opening weekend in its 39 year-history was for 2018's Incredibles 2, which took $182.6m in North America and $231.5m globally.

Anna Camp, 42, defends 18-year age gap with girlfriend, 24, just days after making red carpet debut

Anna Camp is defending her May-December relationship, after making her red carpet debut at the Bride Hard premiere with girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, last week. The 42-year-old actress is 18 years older than Whipkey, but she says the stylist is 'far more mature than any' man she's dated. Camp clapped back at critics under an Instagram post from LGBTQ + outlet PinkNews, writing, 'Thought I'd jump on here since I follow @pinknews and just say I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them.' She emphasized their compatibility as she continued, 'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything ♥️ 'Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well :) Especially this Pride month.' The lovebirds were first linked in May when Camp reposted an image originally uploaded on Whipke's Instagram account. The snap showed the True Blood star sitting at a restaurant with the text: 'Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing.' Camp reshared the picture to her Instagram Stories, tagging Jade, adding a fiery red heart emoji, and confirming their relationship. And on June 10, Whipkey celebrated Camp's Palm Springs Life magazine cover as she shared images of them cozied up at the launch party. The caption read, 'You are the easiest person to celebrate and the sweetest to love ❤️. See you on the cover of @voguemagazine next.' The last image in the carousel post was a photo of Jade wearing a tour T-shirt with several photos of her girlfriend splashed across it. On Sunday Anna took to Instagram Story to gush about her girlfriend while sharing a photo from their red carpet appearance. 'When her eyes match your dress,' she wrote, adding a pink heart emoji with an arrow going through it. Shortly after going public with their relationship in May, the pair was spotted sharing a kiss during a Los Angeles outing. And in February Camp and Whipkey made an appearance in a TikTok video for recalling some of the worst dates they've had. Camp was previously married to Michael Mosley from 2010 through 2013. Anna compared her marriage to Mosley as a 'one-night stand that lasted 7 years' during an episode of Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast. She also tied the knot with Skylar Astin in 2016; their divorce was finalized three years later.

Pixar's Elio earns the worst box office debut in studio history with just $21 million

DreamWorks' live-action take on How to Train Your Dragon continued its run atop the box office, but a new Pixar film made franchise history... in the worst way. How to Train Your Dragon dropped a decent 56.3% in its second frame to win with an estimated $37 million, followed by 28 Years Later with $30 million and Pixar's Elio with $21 million in second and third places, respectively. Elio's box office debut was the worst opening weekend for any modern film in Pixar history, according to Variety. The debut is not only below Elemental, which debuted in June 2023 with $29.6 million, but below Pixar's first film ever, 1995's Toy Story, which opened in November 1995 with $29.1 million. Elio - which follows a young boy mistaken as an ambassador for Earth after he invited aliens to come visit - received a good marks from critics and moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes, with ratings of 84% and 91% respectively. The film earned only $14 million in overseas markets for an abysmal worldwide total of $35 million. The film opened in 3,750 theaters, earning a middling $5,600 per-screen average, with the film's box office projections putting it between $25 million and $30 million, though fans clearly didn't show up as much as previously believed. Elio was produced under a $150 million budget, and with a $35 million global debut, it seems unlikely that it could turn a profit, barring some kind of box office miracle. 'This is a weak opening for Pixar,' says David A. Gross, who runs the FranchiseRe movie consulting firm. 'These would be solid numbers for another original animation film, but this is Pixar, and by Pixar's remarkable standard, the opening is well below average,' Gross added. How to Train Your Dragon remained perched at the top of the box office its second week in theaters, in spite of some tough new competition. The live-action adventure starring Miles Thames, Nico Parker and Gerard Butler earned less than half of the $84 million it collected on its opening weekend, but garnered a respectable $37 million in ticket sales. Fans of the franchise breathed fire into international showings, which earned an additional $53 million, for a global total so far of $358,189,295. Second place went to the fright flick 28 Years Later, which earned $30 million from 3,444 theaters for a solid $8,710 per-screen average. Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson star in the apocalyptic thriller about a group of survivors living on an island nearly three decades after a rage virus has infected most of the world. It will be interesting to see how long this newcomer remains popular at the box office as critics have given the fright flick a strong 89-percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, whereas audiences gave it a much less enthusiastic 65-percent score. 28 Years Later is the sequel to 2002's 28 Days Later, with Alex Garland returning as scriptwriter and Danny Boyle reprising his role as director. The thriller scared up some $45 million domestically and nearly $30 million overseas for a debut total of $74.9 million. Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch dropped to fourth place, earning $9.7 million across the US. The family friendly romp has been one of the most successful of 2025 so far with global earnings of $910.3 million, coming in behind A Minecraft Movie with $953.5 million and the Chinese animated fantasy film, Ne Zha 2, which has earned nearly $2 billion worldwide. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning rounded out the top five with $6.55 million domestically. The last film in the Tom Cruise lead franchise never found its footing at the box office after debuting in a distant second behind Lilo & Stitch. International audiences have been more welcoming to the film, paying more than $362 million to see the nearly three hour long action flick for a global total of $540.8 million. Second place went to the fright flick 28 Years Later. Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars in the apocalyptic thriller which earned $45 million domestically and nearly $30 million overseas for a debut total of $74.9 million Materialists, the romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans plummeted from third place to sixth its second weekend in theaters. Critics loved the mature love story, but it hasn't caught on with audiences amidst all the competition from family friendly and action films. Materialists collected nearly 50-percent than its opening weekend take, pulling in a mere $5.8 million. The rom-com hasn't gained much traction around the planet either, making only an additional $7.5 million internationally. Ballerina, starring Ana De Armas as an assassin bent on revenge, followed in seventh place. The action thriller from the world of John Wick bowed this week with a little more then $4.5 million in ticket sales. In spite of good reviews from audiences, Ballerina has not fared well with ticket buyers domestically, although on the international stage it's collected another $49.7 million for a worldwide total of more than $100 million so far. Karate Kid: Legends starring the original 'Kid' Ralph Macchio along with martial arts master Jackie Chan waxed on at number eight with $2.4 million in ticket sales Karate Kid: Legends starring Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio waxed on at number eight with $2.4 million in ticket sales. Final Destination: Bloodlines crash landed at number nine with $1.88 million. Newcomer Kuberaa, the latest offering from India, debuted at number 10. The morality tale about a beggar who undergoes a radical transformation to make his way in the world garnered $1.75 million. Brad Pitt will speed into the box office race next weekend with the highly anticipated F1: The Movie, along with the scary M3gan 2.0, giving some competition the family friendly offerings that have made their mark on the summer blockbuster season.
