Uma Thurman gets nervous eating in front of the camera
Hollywood star revealed that the idea of consuming food on set is something she still gets nervous about. Thurman told the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon: "First of all, you have to do lots of takes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Second of all, you don't pick what's on the menu, and you have to speak sometimes and swallow, and then you start to worry about choking because you don't want to be chewing when you say that line. " The 55-year-old star discovered her anxiety after filling out a DSM, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which brought up the issue. She said: "Do you know that eating in front of strangers is one of the questions on the DSM? Do you know what the DSM is? It's like one of these check things that psychiatrists do to find out what your neuroses are." Thurman was determined to be "just fine" after filling out the test, but noted she does get nervous about eating during a scene. However, she thinks a "good eating scene" is one of the main things she still wants to nail on screen, reports The actress added: "A good eating scene should be on my bucket list of stuff I haven't nailed. It's like skinny-dipping or something, like one of those things you know that you haven't done." Despite a filmography boasting of numerous filmmakers over several decades in Hollywood, Thurman previously revealed she was "very nervous" about her role in 2024 drama Oh, Canada! Speaking during a Q+A session at the New York Film Festival in 2024, she said: "I mean, Paul Schrader! I'm a really big fan of Paul Schrader. So to get to contribute, to lend myself to his piece, and get to see him working was a real, real privilege. I was very nervous to meet him, you know, this macho filmmaker [who] made these legendary films." --IANS dc/

Javier Bardem awed by Brad Pitt driving at 180 mph on F1 film set: ‘He was in that F1 car for real'
The high-octane sports drama film F1 is all set to release in theatres on June 27. Helmed by Joseph Kosinski, the film follows the classic trope of the veteran (Brad Pitt) and the rookie (Damson Idris) putting aside their differences in order to achieve glory. Javier Bardem, who plays the team principal of Idris and Pitt's crew, recently talked about the film and how Pitt channelled his inner Tom Cruise and drove the intricate and complicated F1 cars himself. Just like Cruise, Bardem had nothing but praise for Pitt's driving skills and also talked about his relationship with the actor on set. In an appearance on the Tonight Show, Bardem shared his experience of working on the film and told Jimmy Fallon how it was working with Pitt for the first time. He said, 'We knew each other very briefly, and we had to create this bromance, which with Brad is not that difficult. He had a harder time, I think, and he is so sweet and funny.' ALSO READ: 'Madman' Tom Cruise cheats death 16 times with a burning parachute, jumps from 7,500 feet in Mission Impossible BTS video. Watch He also talked about how Brad Pitt was juggling multiple roles at the same time and was still able to deliver on all of them. 'He was acting, driving and producing all at the same time. He was in that F1 car for real, driving it at 180 mph (289 km/h) around all the racing tracks. He had to deal with so many things, and he always made sure that he was taking care of everyone else and was giving all the actors their time to shine and would take a backseat.' Bardem then proceeded to explain the plot of the movie to the audience and how actual F1 stars, including Lewis Hamilton, who is also producing the film, were helping them throughout the process. F1 stars like Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez, among others, will be playing themselves in the film. F1 has been directed by Joseph Kosinski, and the cast of the film includes Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Lewis Hamilton, and Simone Ashley.

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift enjoy rare night out at Stanley Cup Final Game 4
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift might be enchanted with hockey now. The star couple was on hand at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Panthers and Oilers. Kelce wore a red top with red shorts as he rocked a white and red 'Palm Tree Crew' Panthers hat while Swift appeared to keep her look neutral in an off-white top and bottom. Advertisement Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final Swift, 35, has had plenty of viral hockey moments in life, including a reveal of the 2009-10 Predators then-new third jerseys during a concert in Nashville and, four years later, taking a picture with former Hurricanes star Joel Skinner, even holding up his jersey. She also donned Islanders gear in a skit with Jimmy Fallon for the 'Tonight Show' in 2015. Advertisement Kelce, who previously posted about his love of playoff hockey, and his brother Jason debated in October on the 'New Heights' podcast about which NHL players could also play in the NFL, and they named Oilers star Connor McDavid as one who could. In April, a source told Page Six that Swift and Kelce have enjoyed a 'special' offseason, which has largely been low-key after the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles. 'They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them,' the source said. Advertisement The two were spotted last month in Philadelphia to celebrate Mother's Day, though before that, they opted out of the Met Gala in New York due to scheduling issues. Taylor Swift celebrates with Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. Getty Images Kelce, who announced earlier this offseason that he is coming back to the Chiefs for at least one more year, will likely have more of Swift at games this year as she is not touring this coming season. Advertisement 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,' a source told People on Thursday. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule. 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' The Panthers entered Game 4 leading the series 2-1.
