Burton memorialized the "Rocky" actor at the posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony for Weathers.
LeVar Burton has fond memories of the late Carl Weathers — and many of them involve sweating it out butt naked.
Burton recalled hitting the steam room with the late Rocky actor during his speech at the ceremony honoring Weathers with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Thursday.
"Carl and I used to meet sometimes at a Korean spa here in Koreatown just east of us, and so we spent a lot of time naked in the sauna," the Star Trek: The Next Generation actor said. "Now, when you're naked with somebody, there's nothing to hide. No, I mean really, there's nothing to hide. But there are two meanings to that, because there is no artifice in the sauna. And Carl had no problem being his authentic self in every single moment."
Burton went on to say that Weathers' authenticity was "probably his greatest gift and greatest talent," adding, "I'm really glad that we have all gathered here today to celebrate such a remarkable human being."
"He was, in fact, the embodiment of a good man," the Reading Rainbow host said of Weathers' exemplary character earlier in his remarks. "Now, I do not use those two words in combination lightly, but Carl deserves it. In Carl's presence, you knew that he was focused 100 percent on you. He wasn't looking around to see who more important came in the room, he was laser-locked on this now-moment with you."
The cast of "Parenthood" just welcomed a new parent.
Parenthood parenthood announcement: Mae Whitman has given birth to her first child, and named him after costar Miles Heizer.
On Wednesday, Whitman introduced baby Miles to the world in an Instagram post, joking, "Not to be a Bieber about it but I too just gave birth to our son, Miles." Whitman continued that "he is the kindest, gentlest, smartest, funniest little beebee and he’s our best friend (pretty much exactly like his namesake Uncle Miles.)"
"We are infinitely grateful he chose us as his parents," Whitman continued in her post. She thanked the obstetrics and midwifery organization Moxie Birth and Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, Calif. "for guiding our little family through all the unexpected twists and turns safely and with love and grace," as well as "everyone in our circle who has shown us such radical generosity and support."
Staunton filmed new scenes for Universal Epic Universe's stunning new theme park ride, after previously saying she wouldn't return to the "Harry Potter" series.
After previously expressing doubt that she'd ever return to the Harry Potter franchise, Oscar-nominated actress and The Crown star Imelda Staunton will reprise her role as Dolores Umbridge in Universal Epic Universe's new Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic attraction inspired by the film series.
Over 14 years following Staunton's final Harry Potter film performance in 2010's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1, an official franchise YouTube video confirms that Staunton returned to film new scenes as the villainous character, who takes center stage in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry ride that takes guests through the British Ministry of Magic for Umbridge's trial. Visitors to the Universal Orlando Resort's next theme park (set to open in 2025) enter through the organization's grand atrium (as seen in the Harry Potter movies) ahead of the trial, until things go awry when, naturally, Umbridge attempts to escape and wreak havoc on her captors.
"You'll explore plenty of never before seen locations, like the Ministry of Archives and the Department of Magical Creatures," Hope Glomski, Universal Global Themed Entertainment said in the clip below, also confirming that film series characters like Corban Yaxley, Walden Macnair, the Carrow family, and Kingsley Shacklebolt will return in scenes for the ride alongside a new house elf character named Higgledy.
The 85-year-old also revealed he'll take the rest of the year off after falling during a recent performance that left him "feeling weak physically."
Sir Ian McKellan wants the new Lord of the Rings movies to hurry up and work some magic for his potential return as Gandalf.
The 85-year-old English actor has revealed that he'd like to return to the film series to reprise the role of the beloved wizard, now that LOTR film director Peter Jackson will return to produce two new films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novels in the future.
“I’ve just been told there are going to be more films and Gandalf will be involved and they hope that I’ll be playing him,” McKellen told Big Issue in a new interview, one of his first on-record conversations since the esteemed actor fell off stage in June during a Player Kings performance at the Noël Coward Theatre in London.
McKellen admitted that he didn't know much about the new Warner Bros. movie, but that the script is "not written yet," according to what he's heard. "So they better be quick!" McKellen joked.
The actor previously told The Times of London that he'd return as Gandalf on one condition: “If I’m alive."
Swinton, Moore, and Almodóvar dutifully thanked a whooping audience during their standing ovation at Venice Film Festival's Sala Grande Monday night.
Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore and Pedro Almodóvar are a force to be reckoned with — if their reception in Venice is anything to go by.
The trio soaked up the raucous applause inside the Venice Film Festival‘s Sala Grande Monday night where the world premiere of Almodóvar’s first-ever English language feature was received with an ardent 17-minute standing ovation.
His poignant film The Room Next Door, an adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s novel What Are You Going Through, follows best-selling writer Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton) as they rekindle their friendship after losing touch. As they immerse themselves in past memories, anecdotes, art and movies, Martha, battling terminal cervical cancer, wants to die with dignity and asks Ingrid to be in the next room when she takes a euthanasia pill.
At the movie’s press conference earlier in the day, the Spaniard auteur, known for films such as Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and All About My Mother, discussed how the film is pro-euthanasia. “This movie is in favor of euthanasia,” he said.
“It is something we admire about the character of Tilda, she decides that getting rid of cancer can only be done by making the decision she actually makes… ‘If I get there before, cancer will not win over me,’ she says. And so she finds a way to reach her objective with the help of her friend, but they have to behave as if they were criminals.” He added: “There should be the possibility to have euthanasia all over the world.”
Swinton and Moore are admittedly huge fans of the filmmaker and have used their time in Venice to sing his praises. Moore said she doesn’t know a director in the entire world who could have made a better film about female friendship.
“The lens that Pedro puts on this relationship is that not only do we have a mother and daughter story, which we see actually often in literature and in film, but we very rarely see a story about female friendship, and especially female friends who are older,” Moore said.
