Domhnall Gleeson reveals John Krasinskis 'big advice' before taking on The Office spinoff
Washington [US], May 25 (ANI): Domhnall Gleeson seems to have revealed the "big advice" he got from John Krasinski before joining The Office spinoff, The Paper.
The 42-year-old Irish actor, while speaking to People, said Krasinski -- who played Jim Halpert in the original hit comedy -- encouraged him to take the role without hesitation.
"He was wonderful. I mean, his big advice that he gave me was to do it," Gleeson told People.
Gleeson went on to share that Steve Carell, another star from The Office, supported his decision too.
"And the same with Steve Carell, another just wonderful actor who I'd worked with before. And their advice was, if it's Greg Daniels, you should do it because getting to work with him is a treat that not many people get to have," he added.
"And I'm so happy I did it because I think we have something really lovely. So I'm thrilled with it," he further added.
Gleeson also shared that hearing such positive things from both actors made a big difference. "I mean, I like to think I would've got there on my own anyway, but certainly if [John] and Steve had been like, 'Don't do it, it's a nightmare,' I would've hightailed it, but they could not have been more positive about it, and I'm delighted I listened to them," said the actor.
Earlier this month, NBC announced that The Paper will premiere in September on Peacock. According to People, the new mockumentary-style show follows the team at a struggling Midwestern newspaper called The Truth Teller. Gleeson stars alongside The White Lotus actress Sabrina Impacciatore, with The Office's Oscar Nunez returning as Oscar Martinez. At NBC's Upfronts in May, Gleeson described the cast as "a wonderful ensemble of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive." (ANI)

Joe Jonas strives to do something different in the upcoming tour; reveals behind-the-scenes about the practice and planning
Joe Jonas , the 'Sucker' singer, has been plotting and scheming about the upcoming tour to give something 'different' from the previous concerts to the fans, along with his brothers to celebrate 20 years in the industry. About the upcoming tour of the Jonas Brothers In a conversation with People, the Jonas Brothers (Joe, Nick, and Kevin) are looking forward to the anticipated tour, 'Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour,' that is set to kick off on August 10, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey. The 35-year-old further stated that the band strives to give the best show every night and bring up something different to celebrate that they can do this after spending all these years in the industry. Something unique, something nostalgic, something experimental After completing their biggest tour last year, which started the previous year, JoBros decided to do something that their audience hadn't experienced before. They are rehearsing rigorously and have decided to sing the older songs that haven't been played before. Definitely not leather Additionally, Joe and his brothers have started ironing the outfits and are figuring out what they would likely wear during the heat. 'We're in the middle of figuring out what we're going to wear, but we never really dress according to the weather. The stadiums outside, it's like you don't even... I think it's going to be important because we're going to be sweating through those outfits really fast,' the 'Who's in Your Head' singer said. They don't exactly know what they are wearing on the stage, but they definitely know what they aren't. 'Not much leather — there won't be a lot of leather being worn. I mean, you know, fashion can hurt, but that's one choice that we will avoid,' he concluded. Joe Jonas is grateful... Twenty years later, Joe is nothing but grateful for the supportive fans and the people who listen to their new songs. 'I wake up every morning, [and] I'm ready. I get to do what I love for a living, so I'm happy to keep it going,' he concluded.
