Netflix thriller reveals major TV return for 'underrated' Hollywood legend
Eric Bana has returned to our TV screens after a six-year absence, and he's officially a silver fox. The 56-year-old Time Traveler's Wife star hasn't starred in a series since 2019's true crime anthology series Dirty John, in which he played titular sociopath John Meehan alongside Connie Britton. Now, he's reappearing in Netflix's new limited series Untamed, in which he portrays Kyle Turner – a National Parks Service agent who investigates a brutal death in the Yosemite National Park wilderness. By the same creators as The Revenant, the character-driven six-episode mystery is also co-produced by Eric, who stars alongside Jurassic Park's Sam Neill, La La Land's Rosemarie DeWitt, Lily Santiago, and Wilson Bethel. While Eric hasn't starred in any TV shows for a minute, he's still been busy appearing in various films, including A Sacrifice, Blueback in 2022, and 2020's award-winning adaptation of Jan Harper's book The Dry as well as the follow-up.

He's also voiced a number of animations including Memoir of a Snail alongside Succession's Sarah Snook in 2024, and he appeared as Adam Durwood in podcast series The Orchard. While Eric's most notable roles since he appeared on the acting scene in the 00s include playing Hoot in Black Hawk Down, Hector in Troy, and as Bruce Banner in Hulk, he started off life in the spotlight as a stand-up and sketch comedian. The Troy star has previously talked about how he's approached his career in a balanced way since his breakout performance in 2000's Chopper. In 2005, he was one of a small group of actors alongside his Munich co-star Daniel Craig to be approached to play James Bond, but he never wanted the role. 'I wouldn't have wanted to be James Bond,' he told The Independent in 2022, adding: 'It would have been too much fame for my head.' Unlike Craig – who played 007 from 2006 to 2021 – Eric said a lack of such huge fame means he's 'largely able to do whatever the hell I want, whenever I want,' he said, adding that not having the freedom to do so 'would have been a great loss'. When asked by TNT Magazine in 2014 whether he thinks it had harmed his career not moving to Los Angeles- as many Australian actors do – he replied: 'No. And even if it has, it wouldn't make any difference to me. 'I love my life with my wife and kids in Melbourne and that's my home. I don't mind flying to Los Angeles for a few days or weeks at a time to talk to people in Hollywood when I need to. 'I still have to travel to the US or other countries when I'm shooting movies, so it doesn't make any difference anyway. These days you can just go online and have meetings using your computer.' Eric married publicist Rebecca Gleeson in 1997 two years after they are thought to have first crossed paths and they are still together almost 30 years on. They share two children – Klaus, 25, and Sophia, 23. Untamed lands on Netflix on July 17. Got a story?

New York: International star Tom Hardy enjoys a huge fan following across the globe, courtesy of his notable performances in 'Inception, 'Dunkirk, ' 'The Revenant, ' 'The Dark Knight Rises, ' and 'Venom'. His acting prowess has left many Indian fans spellbound over the years as well.

Meanwhile, Tom Hardy is being lauded for his role in the gangster drama 'MobLand', which also stars veteran actor Pierce Brosnan. On sharing space with the legendary actor, Tom Hardy said, "I've wanted to work with Pierce Brosnan for a long time, and I went to the same drama school as him, so it was a privilege to work with him because he's a fantastic actor. He's got such range, he's really professional, and he's got lots of versatility, and he's a super smart and wicked actor. I had a great time with him."

How to Place 7 Horses in Your Home for Prosperity
Seven running horses aren't just a Vastu-approved power move—they're a powerful, sprinting metaphor for speed, success, and unstoppable growth. When positioned correctly, they don't just gallop into a room; they actively bring in wealth, fame, and strong forward momentum. But... like all things ancient and aesthetically pleasing, placement is absolutely everything. Otherwise, you might just end up with a decorative stampede instead of a boost in fortune. Here's how to ensure you get the placement right, without accidentally summoning chaos instead of consistent cash flow: 1. Direction is Key: Face East or North For these horses, their running direction truly matters. Having them face towards the East or North symbolizes rising energy and an acceleration in your career. East is associated with the Sun and growth, while the North is ruled by Kuber, the revered God of wealth. So, horses facing these directions? That's like sending a clear message to the Universe: "Dear Universe, please accelerate this hustle!" Avoid: Placing horses so they face South. That energy suggests more "running away from wealth" rather than "charging directly into abundance." 2. All Horses Must Be Running, Together When choosing your artwork or statue, make sure all seven horses are running in perfect unison—you don't want any scattered, sleepy, or lagging ones. The overall vibe should clearly scream "Teamwork makes the dream work," not "Oops, one guy didn't get the memo!" Bonus Tip: If the artwork includes a rising sun in the background, that's even better. Consider it like cosmic Red Bull for your prosperity. 3. Avoid Water or Sad Colors Steer clear of any blue, grey, or black tones in the artwork or background. Incorporating water elements with the horses can actually interfere with their energetic momentum. And definitely avoid any gloomy or depressing backgrounds. Remember, this isn't a scene from The Revenant —you're going for The Wolf of Wall Street kind of energetic vibe. 4. Material Matters: Wood or Canvas Over Metal Opt for sculptures made of wood or paintings on canvas for your seven horses. These materials tend to create a warm, stable, and welcoming energy in your space. Metal can sometimes feel too cold or aggressive, unless the aesthetic is exceptionally soft and carefully done. Choose textures that feel nurturing but also dynamic. 5. Keep It at Eye Level Make sure to hang or place the seven horses where they can be easily seen at eye level—neither too close to the floor nor too high, like above doorframes. If the artwork is treated like mere background noise, its powerful energy might just do the same—fading into wallpaper status rather than actively contributing to your prosperity.

Leonardo DiCaprio's 15 Best Performances From Titanic to The Revenant
For more than three decades, Leonardo DiCaprio has defied expectations. Starting out as a teen heartthrob, he's grown into one of Hollywood's most respected and versatile actors, known for throwing himself into roles that are intense, demanding, and often emotionally devastating. While some stars coast on charisma, DiCaprio digs deep, bringing complexity to even the most broken of characters. From his Oscar-winning survival epic The Revenant to the jet-black satire of The Wolf of Wall Street, DiCaprio has made a career out of reinventing himself. Whether working with Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, or Steven Spielberg, he elevates every project with a signature blend of charm, physicality, and raw emotional fire. Here are 15 of his very best performances: 1. The Revenant (2015) Role: Hugh Glass Director: Alejandro G. Iñárritu Release Year: 2015 IMDb Rating: 8.0 Genre: Adventure, Drama Where to Watch: Disney+ Hotstar Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his Oscar for The Revenant, a brutal, nearly wordless performance that tested the limits of physical endurance. As frontiersman Hugh Glass, DiCaprio crawled, grunted, and bled his way through the wilderness in one of the most intense roles of his career. It's not his most layered performance, but it's easily his most primal. 2. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Role: Jordan Belfort Director: Martin Scorsese Release Year: 2013 IMDb Rating: 8.2 Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama In The Wolf of Wall Street, DiCaprio delivers one of the most electric performances of his career. As Jordan Belfort, he's a fireball of greed, ego, and manic energy, never once asking the audience to like him. The performance is equal parts comedy and chaos, with DiCaprio mastering both high-octane monologues and slapstick breakdowns with astonishing ease. 3. The Aviator (2004) Role: Howard Hughes Director: Martin Scorsese Release Year: 2004 IMDb Rating: 7.5 Genre: Biography, Drama Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video Playing eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, DiCaprio walked the tightrope between genius and madness. Directed by Martin Scorsese, The Aviator gave DiCaprio the room to go big, and he delivered, channeling both Hughes's obsessive brilliance and his mental unraveling. It was the role that proved Leo wasn't just a star, he was a serious actor. 4. Shutter Island (2010) Role: Teddy Daniels Director: Martin Scorsese Release Year: 2010 IMDb Rating: 8.2 Genre: Mystery, Thriller Where to Watch: Netflix One of DiCaprio's most underrated performances, Shutter Island finds him slowly unraveling as U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels. The movie's final twist is powerful, but it's Leo's slow-burn portrayal of grief and denial that gives the film its emotional punch. He carries the movie with aching vulnerability, all while the ground crumbles beneath his character's feet. 5. Inception (2010) Role: Dom Cobb Director: Christopher Nolan Release Year: 2010 IMDb Rating: 8.8 Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller Where to Watch: Netflix In Christopher Nolan's cerebral heist thriller, DiCaprio brings surprising emotional depth to what could have been a cool, distant role. As Dom Cobb, he grounds the film's dream logic with real stakes, a man haunted by the death of his wife and the children he may never see again. It's blockbuster acting at its best. 6. Django Unchained (2012) Role: Calvin Candie Director: Quentin Tarantino Release Year: 2012 IMDb Rating: 8.5 Genre: Drama, Western Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video As plantation owner Calvin Candie, DiCaprio went full villain and relished every moment. Though his performance isn't as sharp as others on this list, it's unforgettable for its sheer audacity. He's unsettling, charming, and just plain terrifying. Not everyone can steal scenes from Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx, but Leo holds his own. 7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) Role: Rick Dalton Director: Quentin Tarantino Release Year: 2019 IMDb Rating: 7.6 Genre: Comedy, Drama Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video In Quentin Tarantino's love letter to old Hollywood, DiCaprio plays fading actor Rick Dalton with a vulnerability that's rare in his career. There's humor, melancholy, and a surprising amount of depth as Dalton wrestles with his fading relevance. It's one of DiCaprio's most human performances and one of his most rewatchable. 8. Revolutionary Road (2008) Role: Frank Wheeler Director: Sam Mendes Release Year: 2008 IMDb Rating: 7.3 Genre: Drama, Romance Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video Reuniting with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet, DiCaprio explores the collapse of the American Dream in Revolutionary Road. His performance as Frank Wheeler is full of desperation and suppressed rage, a man who feels trapped in a life he doesn't understand. It's a bleak, mature performance that shows how far he'd come since Jack Dawson. 9. Catch Me If You Can (2002) Role: Frank Abagnale Jr. Director: Steven Spielberg Release Year: 2002 IMDb Rating: 8.1 Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama Where to Watch: Netflix Long before he was known for heavy dramas, DiCaprio showed off his natural charm in Steven Spielberg's breezy con-man comedy. As teenage fraudster Frank Abagnale Jr., Leo balances swagger with vulnerability, showing us the scared kid behind the bravado. It's one of his lightest roles and one of his most likable. 10. Blood Diamond (2006) Role: Danny Archer Director: Edward Zwick Release Year: 2006 IMDb Rating: 8.0 Genre: Adventure, Drama, Thriller Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video DiCaprio earned another Oscar nomination for Blood Diamond, where he played a South African mercenary caught in the world of conflict diamonds. It's a muscular performance, and while the film itself is overly earnest, DiCaprio gives it grit and urgency. His accent might be debatable, but his commitment isn't. 11. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) Role: Arnie Grape Director: Lasse Hallström Release Year: 1993 IMDb Rating: 7.8 Genre: Drama Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video At just 19, DiCaprio stunned audiences with his performance as Arnie, a teenager with developmental disabilities. It could have easily been a showy, awards-bait role, but Leo approached it with empathy, nuance, and authenticity. It was his first Oscar nomination and a powerful sign of what was to come. 12. The Departed (2006) Role: Billy Costigan Director: Martin Scorsese Release Year: 2006 IMDb Rating: 8.5 Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller Where to Watch: Netflix As undercover cop Billy Costigan, DiCaprio holds the moral center of Martin Scorsese's violent crime saga. Surrounded by showy performances, Leo plays it tortured and real, a man slowly buckling under the pressure of living a lie. It's an intense, jittery performance that anchors the entire film. 13. Titanic (1997) Role: Jack Dawson Director: James Cameron Release Year: 1997 IMDb Rating: 7.9 Genre: Drama, Romance Where to Watch: Disney+ Hotstar Sure, Titanic is a love story, but it's also a showcase for DiCaprio's natural movie-star charisma. As Jack Dawson, he became the face of a generation. While his later roles would be darker and deeper, Titanic remains a cultural milestone and the performance that launched him into global superstardom. 14. The Great Gatsby (2013) Role: Jay Gatsby Director: Baz Luhrmann Release Year: 2013 IMDb Rating: 7.2 Genre: Drama, Romance Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video In Baz Luhrmann's maximalist adaptation, DiCaprio gave Jay Gatsby a wounded soul beneath all the glamour. His now-iconic champagne toast scene is pure movie magic, but he also brought heartbreak to a character often reduced to a symbol. Gatsby's longing and delusion were safe in Leo's hands. 15. Gangs of New York (2002) Role: Amsterdam Vallon Director: Martin Scorsese Release Year: 2002 IMDb Rating: 7.5 Genre: Crime, Drama Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video Leonardo DiCaprio shed his heartthrob image to take on a gritty role as Amsterdam Vallon, a young man seeking revenge in 19th-century New York. He held his own opposite Daniel Day-Lewis, delivering a performance full of intensity and emotional depth. Leonardo DiCaprio has received significant recognition for several other performances. He won a Golden Globe for The Aviator (2004) and earned Oscar nominations for Blood Diamond (2006) and The Aviator. His role in J. Edgar (2011) also brought critical acclaim, even though it didn't lead to major wins. His environmental documentary work, including Before the Flood (2016), also won him a 2017 Environmental Media Award. These projects further cemented his range and impact beyond mainstream acting roles. Leonardo DiCaprio's career is a masterclass in longevity and reinvention. He's played icons, villains, dreamers, and broken men, often within the same film. Whether crawling through the snow, yelling across a trading floor, or floating on a door in the middle of the Atlantic, one thing remains consistent: he's always acting.

Tom Cruise Teases Sequels for ‘Top Gun: Maverick' & ‘Days of Thunder'
Tom Cruise is keeping his engines running even as the Mission: Impossible saga races toward its finish line. In a recent chat with Today Show Australia, Cruise revealed he's 'working on' potential sequels for not just one, but two of his films: 2022's Top Gun: Maverick and the 1990 racing classic, Days of Thunder . 'We're thinking and talking about many different stories and what could we do and what's possible,' Cruise shared. 'It took me 35 years to figure out Top Gun: Maverick , so all of these things we're working on, we're discussing Days of Thunder and Top Gun: Maverick .' And Cruise isn't slowing down. He added, 'There's numerous other films that we're actively working on right now. I'm always shooting a film, prepping a film, posting a film. I just finished a film with Alejandro Iñárritu too, who did The Revenant , and we'll be coming out with that. That was an extraordinary experience and ( Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie) and I are always working on several different films.' Top Gun: Maverick soared to US$1.49 billion at the global box office, while Days of Thunder – the film that first put Cruise behind the wheel as NASCAR's Cole Trickle – earned US$157 million worldwide back in the day. Both franchises have seen renewed fan interest, with Top Gun 3 already in early development at Paramount and Jerry Bruckheimer reportedly circling Days of Thunder 2 as well. Cruise's next big project? An untitled psychological thriller with Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu ( The Revenant ), set to premiere in 2026 and featuring a powerhouse cast including Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde. One thing's for sure: whether he's flying jets, burning rubber, or saving the world – Tom Cruise isn't parking his star power anytime soon. Everything changed when his parents bought him a PlayStation 2 for Christmas. Since then, he's been hooked on all things esports, video games, and music. If he's not livestreaming his shenanigans, he's probably out taking mirror-selfies with his friends, vigorously debating over the Internet's Meme of the Year.
