Aaron Pierre gains James Bond buzz after breakout performance in Netflix's Rebel Ridge
Speculation around the next James Bond continues to grow, and British actor Aaron Pierre has emerged as a compelling candidate. Industry insider Daniel Richtman recently reported that Pierre is among those being considered for the iconic role. Fans and critics alike point to his performance in Netflix's 2024 action thriller Rebel Ridge as a strong argument in his favor. Directed by Jeremy Saulnier, Rebel Ridge follows Terry Richmond, a former marine who travels to Shelby Springs to help his cousin. Once there, he becomes entangled in a violent conflict with corrupt local police. Pierre's portrayal of Richmond earned acclaim for its balance of intensity, physicality, and charisma—traits long associated with the Bond character. In a review by Dexerto, Pierre's performance was described as 'a star-is-born moment'—'hulking, intimidating, but coolly charismatic.' The Guardian praised it as 'a real movie star arrival,' while Variety highlighted his 'restraint and precision,' calling his character both 'sympathetic' and powerful. Even The Observer, despite reservations about the film, noted that Pierre deserves his own action franchise. Pierre is also set to star as John Stewart in the upcoming DC series Lanterns, marking his entry into the superhero genre. But fans are now wondering whether his next big role could be as James Bond. With charm, intelligence, and effortless screen presence, Rebel Ridge proves that Pierre has all the right ingredients to take on the legendary 007 role.

‘Mystery pulse' spotted 25 miles ABOVE Antarctica is ‘unknown to science' as baffled experts say they ‘don't understand'
STRANGE radio pulses detected roughly 25 miles (40km) above Antarctica could be the mark of a new cosmic particle, according to a new study. This rare signal was first detected by the Advertisement 3 The now-retired ANITA experiment aimed to detect ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos - or "ghost particles" - and other cosmic rays Credit: Stephanie Wissel / Penn State. 3 ANITA is a series of tools that floated over Antarctica carried by balloons Credit: Stephanie Wissel / Penn State. The now-retired ANITA experiment aimed to detect ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos - or "ghost particles" - and other cosmic rays as they rain down on Earth from space. While ANITA usually picks up cosmic signals that bounce off the ice, this new radio pulse came from beneath the horizon and under the ice sheet. Its orientation cannot currently be explained by particle physics, a A similar event was recorded in 2014, and it has continued to baffle scientists. Advertisement READ MORE ON ANTARCTICA The mysterious radio waves were being emitted at a steep angle below the ice, suggesting they had to pass through thousands of miles of rock before reaching ANITA. All those obstacles would typically leave a radio pulse too faint to be detectable - but not this signal. "It's an interesting problem, because we still don't actually have an explanation for what those anomalies are," ANITA team member and Penn State University researcher Stephanie Wissel "What we do know is that they're most likely not representing neutrinos." Advertisement Most read in Science Exclusive Scientists have ruled out neutrinos, the most common particle in the universe. Neutrinos are unofficially known as "ghost particles" due to the fact that they don't have any mass or carry any charge. "You have a billion neutrinos passing through your thumbnail at any moment, but neutrinos don't really interact," added Wissel.

If we detect them, it means they have traveled all this way without interacting with anything else. Advertisement " We could be detecting a neutrino coming from the edge of the observable Universe." Scientists suspected that a supernova erupting in space could have coughed a slew of neutrinos in Earth's direction. An international team of researchers attempting to solve the mystery conducted a series of simulations to see if the 2006 and 2014 events align with any significant cosmic events, with data from the the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina . There was a supernova that aligned with the signals captured in 2014, but not the 2006 event. Advertisement So there is no clear indication that this cosmic event is what caused the bizarre radio waves. What scientists have done, however, is narrow down their set of explanations. "My guess is that some interesting radio propagation effect occurs near ice and also near the horizon that I don't fully understand, but we certainly explored several of those, and we haven't been able to find any of those yet either," said Wissel. "So, right now, it's one of these long-standing mysteries, and I'm excited that when we fly [Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations], we'll have better sensitivity.

"We also might detect neutrinos, which would in some ways be a lot more exciting." 3 The mysterious radio waves were being emitted at a steep angle below the ice, suggesting they had to pass through thousands of miles of rock before reaching ANITA Credit: Getty

Teyana Taylor confirms relationship with Aaron Pierre on his 31st birthday, calls him ‘One of One'
Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre made their relationship Instagram official on June 7, 2025, ending months of speculation. The Gonna Love Me singer celebrated Pierre's 31st birthday with a heartfelt post, calling him 'Woody' and writing, 'Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. H'AP'PY BIRTHDAY Woody.' Pierre responded in the comments with, 'Now and always. Thank you, Tey.' A post shared by Jimmy Neutch (@teyanataylor) The romantic reveal marked a turning point in what had, until then, been a carefully choreographed slow-burn romance—hinted at through public appearances, music videos, and social media exchanges. Rumors began back in February 2025 when the two were photographed deep in conversation at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala. A few weeks later, they were spotted at the American Black Film Festival Honors—same table, easy chemistry—but no red carpet walk together. Pierre shared the same images without a caption. Also read: Are Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre dating? New photos fuel romance rumors April brought more playful Instagram moments. Pierre posted a shirtless selfie. Taylor reportedly replied on her Instagram Stories with the message, 'on di wey…' Then came the steamy collaboration. In early June, the duo dropped a sultry music video for Taylor's single Long Time, part of her upcoming album Escape Room. Pierre played her rescuer and love interest—sweeping her up, literally, in a dramatic scene that mirrored their real-life closeness. People reports that just days later, Taylor gave an emotional speech while accepting the Innovator Award at the Apollo Spring Benefit. She thanked her 'apple pie,' saying, 'I love you all so much. Thank you for loving me the way you do.' For Pierre's birthday, Taylor threw him a surprise bash—footage of which later surfaced on TikTok. He looked stunned. She smiled wide. The internet swooned. In return, Pierre shared photos from the event, writing, 'Tey, thank you! You put together a beautiful day. You are one of one. I appreciate you, deeply.' A post shared by Aaron Pierre (@aaron_pierre1) Taylor replied: 'You're so welcome & so deserving. Happy bdayyyyyyyy.' Teyana has publicly shared that she experienced cholestasis of pregnancy, a serious liver condition that can increase the risk of stillbirth if not properly managed. She was married to NBA star Iman Shumpert. The couple tied the knot in October 2016, welcomed two children, and announced their separation in September 2023. Their divorce was finalized in 2024. Teyana Taylor identifies as heterosexual and has not publicly come out as LGBTQ+. She is known for her relationship with Iman Shumpert and now Aaron Pierre.

HBCU sprinter earns First Team All-America status
Jordan Pierre, a sophomore from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), delivered a breakout performance Friday night at the 2025 NCAA Track & Field National Championships, confirming his place among the elite of collegiate sprinting. Racing at the world-renowned Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, Pierre clocked a strong 45.75 seconds in the 400-meter final, securing third place overall and earning the highly coveted First-Team All-American honors. The finish marked a significant moment for both Pierre and the UAPB track and field program. Pierre's journey to the podium was no overnight success. Earlier this spring, he finished second in the 400 meters at the SWAC Outdoor Championships, just behind Alcorn State's Trellas Forrest. That near-miss served as motivation. In the NCAA semifinals, Pierre rose to the occasion by posting a personal best of 45.44 seconds, punching his ticket to the national final with confidence and composure. His performance adds to the growing legacy of UAPB Head Coach Chris McCoy, who has now guided a student-athlete to the NCAA Nationals and an All-American finish for four consecutive years. This consistency highlights the strength and growth of the Golden Lions' track and field program. "Jordan has worked tirelessly for this moment, and to see him shine on this stage is truly special," said Coach McCoy. "It's a proud day for UAPB." Pierre's achievement not only elevates his personal profile but also places the Golden Lions firmly on the national track and field map - a signal that UAPB continues to be a force to watch on the NCAA stage.
