When you've reached the level of stardom Nick Jonas has, you can pretty much do anything. But his fame isn't a factor for him when picking projects, the story is. "It's definitely helpful to work with brilliant people. And this one [The Good Half] is insane." In the film, Jonas plays Renn, who returns home for his mom's funeral. He says the movie "made me think of great films that I think do that really well, where the themes and the story might be sad [but] the only way through situations is to find the humor." Known for music, Jonas is proud to do a variety of things, including an expected 2025 Broadway musical The Last Five Years. "I get to be really creative with the things that I take on in the acting space, in addition to the music side of things. And Broadway is a combination of both, which will be a great challenge and super-fun experience." In the end, though, it's all about the people. "It's incredible to just keep jumping to different projects and seeing the creative voices and just powerhouse people that I'm fortunate enough to work with."

Chelsea Handler Knows Who She Is: ‘My Feet Are So Firmly Planted’ 24:50

24:50

As a six-time New York Times bestselling author, Chelsea Handler knows the secret to a successful book is to stay true to herself. “All of my books are representative of where I am in my life at that time.” And “right now, where I am in my life is my feet are so firmly planted in the ground you cannot knock me over.” The comedian just released her seventh book, I’ll Have What She’s Having . “The point is to highlight how incredible your life can be when you don’t subscribe to doing what everyone tells you makes you valuable.” Between the book, her podcast Dear Chelsea and her stand-up—she has a new Netflix comedy Chelsea Handler: The Feeling and a Las Vegas residency, Chelsea at The Chelsea )—it’s clear Handler has written her own script to her career. “I feel really strongly and passionately, which I always have, that no one is in charge of me.” The former host of the late-night talk show Chelsea Lately says, “we all need a reboot for the talk show.” But in order to return to the format, it would have to “be the right set of circumstances.... I wouldn’t say never.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Yellowjacket’s Jasmin Savoy Brown Knows How Lucky They Are 25:26

7 hari yang lalu25:26

25:26

Showtime’s Yellowjackets is really two shows in one. One is about a group of ’90s teenage plane crash survivors, and the other follows them now. The trick is finding that balance between the actors playing the same characters. “Casting just did an excellent job. They found people with similar essences,” says Jasmin Savoy Brown, who plays the younger version of Taissa. “If anyone has a harder job, it’s [Tawny Cypress, who plays Taissa’s older self], because technically, she has to play to who her younger person is, me.” Brown admits it’s “intimidating” to have the modern-day characters played by greats like Cypress, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis and Melanie Lynskey. “All of them make it so easy. There’s no one that’s snobby or diva or rude.” And Brown, who can also be seen in the upcoming Scream 7—“I’m really honored to be playing the first out queer character in that franchise’s history”—is most aware how special this moment is. “I’m really grateful, I get to work with people who’ve been doing this for a long time, and all of them happen to be really kind.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Dexter: Original Sin’s Patrick Gibson Felt the Pressure Following Michael C. Hall 22:24

8 hari yang lalu22:24

22:24

When you take on a role that somebody else made famous, it’s not easy. Patrick Gibson knew when he started playing a younger version of Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Morgan, a Miami serial killer, in Dexter: Original Sin, that risk is “farther to fall, in a way.” Hall “can’t even be turning in his grave,” because he’s still very much involved with the role. “It must be a weird thing to see somebody else step into that, but I have to say he was so generous and welcoming, I think because he was a part of it getting made.” What makes this origin story so fascinating is that we get to see a time when Dexter didn’t have his murders perfected. “He really is relying on his base instincts and the lessons that he’s picking up from just starting working in Miami Metro.” There’s also “a loneliness at that time of his life that I think was interesting and felt human.” And while he’s very much a psychopath, the audience is still rooting for him. “I think it’s that weird Robin Hood moral gray area.” Gibson is ready for season two. “So much happens in season one, but there’s also so much left unresolved.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Bridget Jones Author Helen Fielding on Renée Zellweger and Whether She’ll Write Another Bridget Jones Book 32:58

Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding is thrilled Renée Zellweger is back in the fourth installment of the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "She's so like Bridget in that she is so warm and kind. There's a gentleness about her, and it's real. There's nothing made up about that," Fielding told Newsweek in early February. "Once Renée started playing the role, it all merged together," she said. "And from that point, I started writing Bridget as Renée, all mixed up together.... I write for her, seeing her, knowing what she does." In a bonus episode of the Parting Shot, Fielding spoke with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about the legacy of Bridget Jones, her relationship with Zellweger, and whether she’ll write another Bridget Jones book.

Renée Zellweger Returns to Iconic Role in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 40:12

"I'm a fan of Bridget Jones.... That I share that with so many people is a really cool thing," Renée Zellweger told Newsweek’s Parting Shot in an exclusive interview. Nearly 24 years ago, the movie starring Zellweger as that young, single, British woman who started a diary was released. Its protagonist subsequently became a cultural phenomenon, a symbol of the modern British woman and an international example of liberated women everywhere. And the real-life woman who made her famous became so identifiable with the character from Helen Fielding's 1996 book Bridget Jones's Diary that it's almost impossible to imagine any other actor in the role. Now Zellweger is back with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Zellweger chats with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about the legacy of Bridget Jones, what about her she relates to most, and why she’s so protective of her.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s ‘Found’ is Unlike Anything He’s Done Before 31:11

31:11

He’s been in the business for more than 40 years, but Mark-Paul Gosselaar still feels like he hasn’t experienced everything. “I still feel like I have so much left to learn. Every time I walk on a set, I learn something.” Currently on NBC’s Found, Gosselaar plays Sir, a man held captive by Gabi (played by Shanola Hampton), the adult woman his character kidnapped as a child. He chose the role because it was unlike anything he’s done before. “I’m always looking for something to challenge me... that when I read it, I become a bit anxious about playing that role.” And there’s still so much to be revealed about Sir. “We’ve just scratched the surface. There was an episode last season that showed Sir’s childhood. I’ve been told that possibly in upcoming seasons we’ll go deeper into Sir as a child, because there’s a lot of questions that need to be answered.” Part of what Gosselaar loves about Found is the chemistry he has with Hampton. “I enjoy coming to set because we have the leader of the show, Shanola, setting the tone as a good person... It’s just a great environment to be creative in.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

The Unusual Pairing That Works: Malcolm Gladwell and Kenya Barris Discuss Audible’s ‘The Unusual Suspects’ 46:00

When it comes to celebrity interviews, the first name that comes to mind is probably not Malcolm Gladwell. But The Tipping Point writer says he will “defend my props as a celebrity interviewer” on Audible’s The Unusual Suspects with Kenya Barris and Malcolm Gladwell . “I just thought, it's fun to hang out with Kenya and his celebrity friends... [but] the truth is, we're not just talking with celebrities.” And that mix of celebrities, business figures, politicians and others is what makes their conversations so thrilling. “We're actually not as odd, but it's an interesting combination,” Kenya Barris told Newsweek. "We want people who are at the top of their [field]. [We] ask, 'What was the thing behind the thing? What was the thing that you didn't see?'" And if the caliber of their first guests is any indication, there will be lots more to come. "I hope that people will receive it, because there's so many people who I'd love to talk to that I think are culturally zeitgeist-defining characters that people may not know about." Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott chats with Malcolm and Kenya about the The Unusual Suspects, their guests, and why their pairing just works.

Morris Chestnut is Ready to Put His Own Spin on Sherlock Holmes’ ‘Watson’ 21:22

28 hari yang lalu21:22

21:22

From Boyz N the Hood in 1991 until now, Morris Chestnut has seen much of Hollywood. "I've been through pretty much everything in the industry." Now he's starring in and executive producing CBS 's new drama Watson (January 26). It "was a no-brainer" for Chestnut when he was approached to play Dr. John Watson. "It's just a blessing and an honor to have that opportunity." Based within the mythology of Sherlock Holmes, Watson picks up a year after Holmes' death. "The character's dealing with the loss of his best friend." This depth is something that Chestnut feels he's most qualified to portray now. "Fifteen years ago, I don't know if I'd be able to do the role the way I'm able to do it now." But one thing Chestnut is most grateful for is the relationship he's built with fans from films like Boyz N the Hood and The Best Man. "If I were to say, right now today, let's get a project together where people are going to be talking about it 30 years from now, everybody wants that. But it doesn't happen that often. And I've been blessed enough to be involved in two of them." See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Julia Stiles Embraces a New Title With ‘Wish You Were Here’: Director 26:04

Now that Julia Stiles has directed her first feature film, Wish You Were Here , she sees the work of directors in a whole new light. “I almost wanted to call some directors that I had worked with and be like, ‘I'm so sorry that I was annoyed with you when you told me to do that thing.’” Best known for acting, when she read the novel the film is based on, she knew she needed to adapt it. “The book broke my heart but also made me laugh. It felt like it had such a good spirit to it, and I'm a romantic at heart.” The film follows a young woman swept up in a new romance only to learn he’s terminally ill. While she says she ran “in the other direction” of making the film too saccharine, she didn’t let that cynical voice fully take over. “There is something really important about showing how much this girl takes care of him, and that it's okay to be kind and loving toward another person.” And now she says adding director to her credits has made her a better actor. “I think I realized that if you trust your director, and I mean really trust that person and believe in their vision, you can throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Marianne Jean-Baptiste on Finding ‘Compassion’ for Mike Leigh’s ‘Hard Truths’ 36:19

36:19

Nearly 30 years after Marianne Jean-Baptiste received an Oscar nomination for her first collaboration with director Mike Leigh, Secrets & Lies, the pair are back together with Hard Truths. “It’s been so nice to just spend time with him,” Jean-Baptiste tells Newsweek’s Parting Shot. Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a depressed, angry, middle-aged woman who seems to find conflict with everyone. “I’m not too worried about her not being likable, but I was worried about people not having compassion for her.” Part of what makes a Leigh film so unique is the preparation that goes into crafting a character. “He is the only one that works in the way that he works, with the preparation, with the rehearsal.” Once again, Jean-Baptiste is receiving awards buzz for her multilayered performance. But for her, it’s less about her performance and more about people discovering the film. “It’s becoming more and more difficult to get people to go to the cinema to see films, especially one like this that hasn’t got that big money behind it. So for this film to be sort of the little David against Goliath, it’s a real thrill.” Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Mike Leigh chats with H. Alan Scott about Hard Truths, their collaborations and Leigh’s singularly unique way of filmmaking.

Alan Cumming on Season 3 of Peacock’s Traitors: “So Much Drama” 21:43

sekitar setahun yang lalu21:43

21:43

After the massive success of last season’s The Traitors ( streaming now on Peacock), host Alan Cumming knew this season had to be bigger. “There was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante.” And they did just that, with a more explosive cast and even wilder twists. “It is bigger. I'm sort of a cult leader. I've gone from just a dandy, Lord of the manor in his castle, to official cult leader. I'm fine with it.” Cumming hosts a castle full of reality TV stars who all play a game of murder in order to win upwards of $250,000. Even though contestants are from shows like Survivor and Real Housewives , Cumming actually thinks the shows that made them famous has little to do with how well they do. “Everybody has this sort of myth that you have to be in one of those gamer shows to do well at this game and it's not true. Sometimes it's actually good to have better social skills.” Last year, Cumming’s Emmy win ended RuPaul’s historic 8-year winning streak for RuPaul’s Drag Race. “ I saw Ru, and I went up to him, and I just went, ‘I am so sorry.’ And he just went, ‘Con-drag-ulations.’ And I was like, ‘He said it!’” [ laughs ] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
