shared fashion advice for whoever plays Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV series, reported People.
"Make sure you can handle the long, flowing robes, and don't trip over them," Fiennes advised during an interview, adding, "Practice your long, flowing robe walk."
Fiennes also shared a fun fact about a part of his Voldemort garb he had changed throughout the film series. The actor, fresh off an Academy Awards campaign for Conclave and next starring in '28 Years Later', said he had some notes for the wardrobe department regarding his tights, as per the outlet.
Fiennes played Voldemort for five Harry Potter films, making his debut in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor went on to play the villain for the remainder of the film series, which ended in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.
He also returned alongside many of his fellow cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), for a TV special in 2002 marking the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter movies, reported People.
Fiennes has said he would "of course" reprise his role as Voldemort if asked, but more recently gave his approval for Cillian Murphy taking over the part, calling him a "wonderful suggestion," as per the outlet.

Gaurav Bajaj on not quitting TV: I came to Mumbai to be an actor, not a hero
In an industry that thrives on reinvention, actor Gaurav Bajaj is quietly crafting his second act—this time on the big screen. Known for his work in TV shows such as Choti Sarrdaarni, Uttaran and others, Gaurav was recently seen in Tumko Meri Kasam. "The transition to movies has been really challenging and yes, definitely rewarding. I had to unlearn a lot of things to learn these new things." Gaurav tells us. While Gaurav brings over a decade of acting experience, the shift to film required starting over in many ways. The respect was there—seasoned technicians and co-actors acknowledged his years in the business—but he had to earn his spot all over again. "Moving to movies is a tough nut to crack. The biggest challenge is starting over in a new way. No matter how experienced you are, no matter where you come from, but when you enter films you have to introduce yourself. No matter how experienced you are… you're often a newcomer. But I got that respect from the team… from assistants to the cameraman," he recalls. One of the more nuanced battles Gaurav is fighting is the assumption game. Audiences and casting professionals often equate past roles with future potential. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger! Just take this from Watsons URUHIME MOMOKO Learn More Undo But Gaurav has always been driven by a desire to act—not to chase stardom. "People tend to box you in a certain image based on your past work and what characters you have played. But in cinema, their thought process is why only this person? So, they give you a chance. .. There's a lot of difference between a hero and an actor. I've always been very focused towards why I came to Bombay. I came to Bombay to be an actor, not a hero. Stereotypes exist, but I believe your right choices and consistency help change those perceptions," he explains. Despite his dive into film, Gaurav is not turning his back on his roots. His respect for television as his foundation is unwavering, and his openness to OTT and future TV projects reflects a modern actor's mindset—fluid and fearless. "Quitting TV? Not at all. I don't think I will ever quit anything. It's storytelling and it's evolving. Today, as an actor, it's not limited to one medium. I have done OTT, I'm exploring films… but TV is my foundation. I'll always respect that," he concludes.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi faces backlash for claiming Air India crash survivor was ‘LYING'; Deletes post and issues apology
Actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi stirred quite the controversy this week after she claimed that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad was 'lying' about his ordeal. Amidst mounting criticism of her harsh tweet questioning the authenticity and the mental stability of the lone survivor, she deleted the post and has now issued a public apology. In a new post on her handle, she wrote, 'Took out my last tweet on the Air India crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies.' The apology comes just days after Krishnamoorthi, in a now-deleted post on her X (Twitter) handle, accused Ramesh of fabricating his story about surviving the crash. She went on to say that the man "Deserve (sic) not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true." However, she soon faced public backlash with netizens calling out her allegations as baseless social media rumours. Defending the sole survivor of the crash, netizens pointed out that Vishwas's identity and survival had been officially verified by the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad. Despite the apology, many took to the comments section to raise concern over the spread of misinformation and the duty of public figures to weigh their words on social media, particularly in the wake of national tragedies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo According to the latest reports, Vishwas was discharged from the hospital just days ago, a week after surviving the June 12 crash that claimed the lives of at least 260 people.

Media relations firm aims to help build brand identity for south India talents
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) 1 2 Thiruvananthapuram-based media relations and reputation management company CTLG hopes to help celebs in south India 'build a media and online identity'. Adwaith S, founder of the company, says, 'South Indian artistes have impressive portfolios, but they often miss out on bigger opportunities, because they underestimate the importance of maintaining a strong media and online presence, including not knowing how to market themselves. ' He points out that in 'today's digital landscape, talent alone isn't enough'. 'I've seen incredibly talented artistes lose major deals simply because they lacked a credible and active online presence and marketing. Also, I've encountered individuals with the potential to go national — even global — but they don't know how to position themselves strategically through media coverage and online branding to showcase their work effectively,' he elaborates. CTLG, established in early 2024, has worked with celebs, like actresses Ayesha Khan, Sreeleela, and musicians King, Bismil and Taba Chake, he informs and adds that the company is now looking beyond working with A-list clients. 'We actively seek high-potential public figures ready to commit fulltime to their careers — whether they're musicians or actors,' says Adwaith. He says media visibility attracts brand partnerships and makes for long-term success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The company, he reveals, hosted a media conference in April, which 'brought together artistes, content creators, journalists and industry professionals to explore the future of storytelling'. He points out that south Indian artistes often navigate their careers without professional guidance. 'Around 85% of artistes here manage their careers independently. While being hands-on is great, it's equally important to have experts who can strategically position them in the industry and curate what's best for their growth. There is now a shift with directors and actors reaching out to us, but there's still a long way to go,' he concludes.
