Shocking Celebrity Interview Revelations June 15 2025

Brenda Song was dropped by her agent for taking a role in The Social Network.
"I was like, 'David Fincher is one of my favorite directors of all time,'" Brenda said in a conversation captured by The Wrap. "They're like, 'It's two scenes,' but I'm like, 'This is what I really wanted.' And my agents dropped me over this decision."
Bryce Dallas Howard alleges Lars Von Trier threw a glass of water in her face and insulted her father, director Ron Howard, on the set of Dogville.
"That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience, but it wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything," she told the Sunday Times. "I was sort of delighted by it."
Miley Cyrus said that she and Liam Hemsworth initially broke up in 2012 because of her "sexualized" public image.
'Liam was also a part of other big franchises like The Hunger Games, and his brother is a Marvel superhero. And so I was also representing the family,' she said on the Every Single Album podcast. 'And so I felt like I needed to, and I, you know, it was my duty, too, because my plan was this time, I didn't want the relationship to fall apart. I wanted it to stay intact. And the reason why it didn't work during Bangerz was because of that.'
Billie Eilish's brother FINNEAS was tear-gassed during the L.A. protests.
'Tear gassed almost immediately at the very peaceful protest downtown," he wrote on his IG Story at the time. "They're inciting this.'
Justin Bieber's former manager Scooter Braun said that their relationship is "not the same" as it used to be.
'At that point, it had been a couple of years where I knew I wanted to do something else, and I wanted to find out who I was,' he said about the split during an episode of the Diary of a CEO podcast. 'We were both communicating enough with each other… The writing was on the wall.'
Sydney Sweney gained 30 pounds for her upcoming film role portraying boxer Christy Martin.
'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27,' she told W Magazine. 'My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god… I was so strong, like crazy strong.'
Sarah Jessica Parker said she doesn't take pictures with fans.
"I was just at the airport on Friday," she told Howard Stern. "A woman came up to me and she didn't say hello. She just said, 'Can I take your picture?' and I said, 'We didn't even meet. You didn't even introduce yourself. What's your name?'"
Ryan Phillippe's daughter Ava Phillippe admitted that her boyfriend kinda looks like her dad.
"You guys… whaaaaattt," she replied to a TikTok comment pointing out the resemblance. OK then!
Candace Cameron Bure claimed that scary movies are a "portal" to "something demonic."
"You're opening up a portal," she said on her own podcast. "Like, if you're watching this, or you're playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home."
Influencer Nara Smith revealed that she's pregnant with her fourth child — before she's even turned 24.
"No, I'm not having this many kids because I'm Mormon," Nara explained on TikTok. "I'm not Mormon. I just always wanted to be a young mom and do everything while I was really young. And I think that's just a personal preference for me."
Keke Palmer admitted that her child's name is essentially made up.
"That was him trying to put like Darius and Lauren — like Leodis," she said during a House Guest appearance about her ex-partner Darius Jackson choosing the name. "Like, it was just too much, but I said, 'Hey, let's do it. It's adorable.' I was pregnant, anything went."
And finally, Kim Cattrall passed on Sex and the City four times before accepting the role of Samantha Jones.
'40 became sexy,' she told the Times of London, after revealing she passed on the role because of "self-inflected ageism...It became, 'Man, let's have more of that.''

Jon Bernthal Joins Tom Holland in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day'

Jon Bernthal has appeared in several Marvel television series as the stone-cold vigilante known as the Punisher, even headlining his own series. Now he's taking his guns to the big screen. More from The Hollywood Reporter Abigail Breslin, Booboo Stewart to Star in Dramedy Movie 'A Good Fight' (Exclusive) Steven Spielberg Thought 'Jaws' "Would Be the Last Movie I Would Ever Be Given to Direct" How Prime Video Gives Cord-Cutters One-Stop Access to Apple TV+, HBO Max, Paramount+ and More Bernthal has joined Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest Spider-Man movie from Sony and Marvel. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing the feature, which will shoot in England this summer and has a July 31, 2026, release date. Much of the movie remains shrouded in mystery. Movie rumor websites have listed upwards of a dozen possible villains, from crime bosses to alien symbiotes, who could appear in the feature, as well as a couple of different versions of the Hulk. The only thing clear at this stage is that Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are reprising their roles as MJ and best friend Ned, although how substantial those roles will be remains unclear. And Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is the big new addition so far. The story takes place after the events of the previous movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which the entire world knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man and then had that knowledge erased. Having Bernthal as the Punisher seems to point to a slightly more grounded angle on the story as the character hails from the gritty street corner of Marvel's universe and, in the comics at least, uses fists, knives and guns to tussle with bad guys, rather than spells or fancy tech. But hey, having him square off against a rampaging Hulk could be fun, too. Bernthal first showed up as vigilante Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, in Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series, then starred in his own series that ran for two seasons. He recently returned for a few episodes in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. Marvel is betting on more Punisher and Bernthal in the months and years to come. The character is set to return for season two of Born Again and Marvel is bringing Bernthal back for a Punisher stand-alone feature for Disney+. Bernthal is co-writing the latter. Curiously, one nonnegotiable he had for his return to Daredevil was maintaining the character's violent, R-rated feel. It will be interesting to see how that translates into the more kid-friendly tone of the Spider-Man movies. Bernthal and Holland have a charmed history together when it comes to Marvel. The duo were working on the 2017 feature Pilgrimage when prepping to audition for their Marvel roles. The actors helped each other with their audition tapes. This year, Bernthal's big-screen output has included starring opposite Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2 for Amazon and appearing in the Rami Malek thriller The Amateur for 20th Century Fox. Bernthal is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer.

Jon Bernthal's Punisher Officially Joins SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY! — GeekTyrant

Jon Bernthal is officially bringing the Punisher into Spider-Man: Brand New Day ! The next installment in Tom Holland's Spidey saga. Frank Castle is actually stepping into the Sony/Marvel Spider-Verse, and this is for real, and it's awesome! The film, which begins shooting this summer in England, will be directed by Shang-Chi 's Destin Daniel Cretton and is set to hit theaters July 31, 2026. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are expected to return as MJ and Ned, and Stranger Things breakout Sadie Sink has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. The story picks up after the reality-resetting events of No Way Home , where no one remembers Peter Parker is Spider-Man. That gives the narrative a clean slate, and apparently a perfect window to drop in Marvel's most brutal antihero. Bernthal's take on Frank Castle was first introduced in Netflix's Daredevil series and later spun off into The Punisher . He recently returned in Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again, and not only is he starring in Season 2—he's also co-writing a solo Punisher special. So yeah, the man is in. This new crossover has been years in the making, even if unintentionally. Bernthal and Tom Holland actually helped each other score their Marvel gigs while working together on the 2017 film Pilgrimage. Bernthal told Jimmy Kimmel Live: 'We did a film about seven or eight years ago. That was where both Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other's audition tapes on that film.' He even had a hand in giving Holland some iconic Spider-Man flair: 'I gave him the note, 'Tom, maybe you should run up that wall and do a double backflip and then start the scene.' And he was like, 'Yeah, you think I should do that? That's not too much?' I was like, 'I don't think any of these other fools are able to do that,' and he in fact did that.' Now, after years of parallel stories, they're finally sharing the screen in the MCU. With Peter navigating a world that doesn't know who he is, and Castle never caring much for red tape, the dynamic between these two could be explosive. We don't know exactly how the Punisher will fit into Brand New Day , but I can't wait to see how this comes together! One's a neighborhood-friendly hero trying to stay under the radar. The other's a walking storm of gunpowder and grief. Whatever happens, it won't be boring. Source: Deadline
