Helen Flanagan recalls being bullied in school over television fame
Reality star Helen Flanagan once became a subject of bullying in her school over her show 'Coronation Street'. The actress was just nine years old when she replaced Emma Collinge as Rosie Webster in 2000, but her TV career led her to be tormented by her jealous peers, reports 'Female First UK'. Helen only escaped the torment when her parents, Julia Flanagan and Paul Flanagan, moved her to a private girls' school. As per 'Female First UK', Helen, who played her alter ego on the ITV1 soap on-and-off for 18 years, is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper's Hot TV column as saying, "I did struggle with a lot of bullying in my first school because I was on 'Coronation Street'. I did really get picked on. My parents then moved me to a private girls' school". The 34-year-old TV star, who has daughters Matilda, nine, and Delilah, six, as well as a son Charlie, three, with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair, admitted the bullying she endured makes her worry as a mum.

My little girl, she is a sweetie and soft like me". Helen previously said she would jump at the chance to return to Weatherfield, the fictional town in Salford, Greater Manchester, where 'Coronation Street' is based, and would like Rosie to become one of the Rovers Return pub's "iconic" barmaids. In an interview with The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Bizarre column in March, the actress said, "I'd love to see Rosie come back as a single mum, having just left her partner. She'd dump her two kids with Sally and I think she would be an iconic barmaid at the Rovers Return. Especially as I am living up north again now". And the actress admitted putting an effort into her appearance helps her feel like her own person, rather than just her children's mother.

Billy Bob Thornton says he is not a part of Hollywood
Actor Billy Bob Thornton , who is known for his work in 'Fargo', 'The Gray Man' and others, has said that he doesn't belong to Hollywood. The actor said that he doesn't consider himself to be part of Hollywood, reports 'Female First UK'. The 69-year-old actor has enjoyed huge success in the movie business, starring in films such as 'A Simple Plan', 'Armageddon' and 'Friday Night Lights', but he tries to distance himself from the Hollywood scene. He told 'People' magazine, "I don't talk about politics and stuff with people. I just kind of stay out of it all. I'm not really much of a part of Hollywood, as you say. I'm at home with the family, or I'm in a recording studio or on the road or making this. Those are the things I do, and I just kind of mind my own business". As per 'Female First UK', Billy Bob plays Tommy Norris, a landman for an oil company, in the Paramount series Landman, and he's enjoyed playing the character more than he initially imagined. The actor said, "It's almost like a few characters I've played boiled into one. He's like the guy from Goliath, Bad Santa, it's like he doesn't suffer fools, but he also has some fun every now and then. I'm just basically playing who I would be if I were a landman". Billy Bob previously confessed that he feels "nervous" watching himself on screen. The actor revealed that he's tried to avoid seeing himself in Landman, even though he's been widely praised for his performance. He told 'Extra', "I get nervous watching myself, so I haven't actually seen them myself". Landman was created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, and Taylor actually wrote the show with Bill Bob in mind. The actor shared, "I had done a cameo for Taylor in '1883'. I just went down to Fort Worth and did this cameo in '1883'. When were at the premiere of that in Las Vegas, he said, 'Listen, I'm writing this show with your voice called 'Landman'. He goes, 'I think you're really going to dig this'. So he had told me about it a couple of years before we actually started filming and I got really excited when he sent me the first couple of scripts. It kind of fits like a glove".
