Bryce Dallas Howard had a huge crush on Colin Hanks
Bryce Dallas Howard had "a really big crush" on Colin Hanks. The Jurassic World star has revealed she was smitten with Tom Hanks' son after meeting him on the set of her dad Ron Howard's film Apollo 13 when she was 12 years old and Colin, who was 16 at the time, was working behind the scenes as an assistant. During an appearance on the Podcrushed podcast, she explained: "We all [the family] moved out to Los Angeles for that [ Apollo 13]. I was raised mostly in New York, and I got to be on set as an intern, basically ... "Colin Hanks was on set as a PA. He was 16, and he was working his butt off. He was working really, really, really, really hard. "And they sort of assigned me to him, and I had had a crush on Colin for so long. Like my whole life. My whole life ... "Just any time that I encountered him, I was like: 'Oh my God. Now that's a man'." Bryce added she had "no chance, no shot" with Colin and her director dad knew all about her crush. She said: "My dad knew for sure. For sure. I don't think his dad [Tom Hanks] knew, and I don't think he [Colin Hanks] knew. My dad totally knew ... "Colin, he was a really big crush. A really, really, really big crush." Bryce revealed she was also obsessed with actor Joaquin Phoenix when she was a child and later got a shock when she was cast as his love interest in 2004 film The Village. She said: "I had the biggest crush on Joaquin Phoenix when I was seven years old, and he was Leaf Phoenix, and he was in [1989 movie] Parenthood. "And it was insane being like: 'Oh, you want me to play a character who's been in love with this guy, like, her whole life? Sure'." Bryce went on to reveal she had her first kiss at a performing arts summer camp, saying of the experience but didn't start dating properly until she was 18. She said of her first kiss: "That was a lovely scenario. Didn't ultimately work out, not because of anything other than he's gay. So it was lovely. Everything was great, honestly." A year after Bryce started dating, she met Seth Gabel, who she married in 2006.

Who Is Scarlett Johansson's Husband? Meet Colin Jost
Scarlett Johansson has been taking centre stage, as she returns to the spotlight in Jurassic World: Rebirth. But while her co-star is Jonathan Bailey, it's her husband who is the one constantly by her side. Following her marriages to actor Ryan Reynolds and advertising agency boss Romain Dauriac, Scarlett is now happily married to Colin Jost. Here's everything we know about him... 'What you see is what you get with him. He's very optimistic, easygoing, funny, nice and those are the qualities that really drew me to him,' she said. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost in Cannes 2023 ©Colin is an actor, comic and writer who's best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, where he has worked since 2005. He's not just a pretty face – Colin's sense of humour has earned him his estimated $10 million fortune. His success as a writer, actor and comedian, working in front of the camera and behind the scenes on SNL, has boosted his bank balance. While he's a member of the millionaire club, it's pocket money compared to Scarlett's whopping $165 million fortune. She is the world's highest paid actress, after all! The pair first met in 2006, when Scarlett hosted Saturday Night Live. She clearly made a killer first impression on Colin, who was smitten. 'The first time she hosted was the first year I was a writer on the show. So, we've kind of known each other since then. She's the best,' he said. In his memoir A Very Punchable Face, he said she was 'beautiful, smart, sweet and intimidatingly sophisticated' and has 'a grace and a smile that I've still never seen in any other human'. 'She has just turned 20, and I was 23, but in terms of status and maturing she was [up] here and I was [down] here. She claims that she remembers thinking I was 'cute', but I know what I looked like and that's not the word I would have used. ('Shaggy' would have been generous. 'Slovenly', more accurate).' Scarlett and Colin met again in 2010, when she returned to host SNL. At the time, she was married to Ryan – who she split from a month later. 'That's my first memory of him [Colin]. He seemed very confident at the time,' she recalled. They met again in May 2017 when she played Ivanka Trump in SNL's season finale, with a source saying that they couldn't keep their hands off each other. By September, they were properly together. 'She's wonderful. She's pretty cool, it's hard to have a lot of complaints. She's pretty awesome. I'm very happy. I feel very lucky,' he said.

They got engaged two years later, in May 2019. 'He killed it. He's very charming and very thoughtful and romantic. But yeah, I was surprised,' she said of his proposal. 'Even if you kind of imagine what that moment's going to be like, it's still a beautiful moment. I think, more than anything, when someone tells you they want to spend their life with you, that's a lovely, special thing.' The couple married at their New York home in October 2020. Scarlett and Colin have three-year-old Cosmo. She also has daughter Rose, ten, with ex-husband Romain. The couple live in New York with Rose and Cosmo. They recently moved into a penthouse in Manhattan's Carnegie Hill neighbourhood, which they bought for $13 million.

What happens now the EuroMillions £208,000,000 maximum jackpot has been won?
One lucky person from Ireland has just won the massive £208,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot. The Irish National Lottery said it was the biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot, the equivalent of €250million and is the country's 18th winner. The Irish National Lottery chief executive Cian Murphy urged people to carefully check their EuroMillions tickets. He said: 'The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days. 'With such a big win we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can.' The jackpot had been sat at £208,000,000 for two weeks after it reached its maximum size earlier this month. But what happens to the jackpot now that it has been claimed? We take a look below. Now that the £208million jackpot has been won, the prize draw reverts back to the minimum jackpot. This means that people entering the EuroMillions this Friday, June 20, could be in with a chance of winning a top prize of £14million (€17million). If nobody had won last night's draw, Friday's draw would become a 'Must Be Won' draw in which the prize money would move down a tier until at least one valid ticket could claim the winnings. Last night, three other people matched five numbers and one lucky star to win £6,287,001.20 each. There were 16 others who were lucky enough to match all five numbers but no lucky stars to win £16,119.10. Meanwhile 77 other people matched four main numbers and two lucky stars to win £1,043.20. In the past, many people have been made multimillionaires thanks to the National Lottery. This includes Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucestershire, who won £184 million in 2022. A new wardrobe and drawers for their bedroom were the first buys for the couple. More Trending While Colin and Chris Weir won £161 million in 2011, their luck was short-lived. Within a decade of winning the EuroMillions draw the couple, from Largs in North Ayrshire, divorced after 38 years of marriage. Colin died of sepsis and an acute kidney injury a few months later in December 2019, at the age of 71. The largest EuroMillions win ever was a person in Austria who scooped up€250 million (or about £209,000,000) on March 28, 2025.

Entrepreneurial Scotland names its new chair
Entrepreneurial Scotland chief executive Sean McGrath emphasised that Mr Robertson stepping down had nothing to do with news last week that up to 400 roles at Alexander Dennis in Scotland were at risk of redundancy. Mr McGrath said: 'Colin stepping away as chair is unrelated to the sad news out of ADL. We started planning for Colin's transition out of the chair a year ago, hence Andy joining the board at that point.' Entrepreneurial Scotland said Mr Lothian 'brings significant leadership and strategic expertise' as it 'continues to develop the next generation of leaders' through its flagship Saltire Scholars Internship Programme and peer-based membership initiative, The Exchange. Read more It added: 'As CEO and co-founder of Insights Group, a global people development organisation headquartered in Dundee, Andy has grown the business to over £97.6 million in turnover, employing more than 700 people, with more than 10,000 practitioners operating in over 40 countries. 'As a longstanding advocate for developing talent and creating impact through entrepreneurship and business growth, Andy is a strong fit for the Foundation's purpose: to accelerate the development of entrepreneurial leaders for a prosperous Scotland.' Mr Lothian said: 'Scotland's future depends on developing ambitious, inspiring leaders who can turn vision into action. Entrepreneurial Scotland plays a vital role in building that pipeline - equipping individuals with the belief, mindset and connections they need to lead transformational growth. I'm privileged to build on Colin's inspiring legacy as chair and to help shape a more ambitious and prosperous Scotland.' Mr Robertson said: 'It's been an honour to serve as chair for the last seven years. I've seen first-hand the transformational impact this organisation has on individuals and businesses. Andy brings a deep sense of purpose and a real passion for developing people - he is the ideal person to lead Entrepreneurial Scotland into its next phase.' Mr McGrath said: 'Andy's values and leadership align perfectly with our vision to create the most entrepreneurial society in the world. He knows what it takes to build high-performing teams, and he's committed to helping others do the same. We're incredibly grateful to Colin for his outstanding contributions and thrilled to welcome Andy into the role.'
