fan girl // Alexia Putellas

a/n: based off this request!

It was movie night at Alexia‘s, the girls seated around her living room as snacks and soft drinks were on the coffee table for everyone.

The girls had to decided to watch your new movie, all of them a big fan of your acting. Alongside you, big names like Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds - the movie was made to be a hit.

And Alexia had to admit that she watched every single one of your movies, most of the time more enjoying the view rather than the plot. It didn’t matter if she was the queen of football, she was madly crushing on you.

For once, Alexia wasn‘t getting Fan-girled but was Fan-girling herself. Something about you made her heart flutter, cheeks blushy and starstruck.

So, every time you appeared on screen, Alexia zoned out, comments from her friends falling to deaf ears, snacks long forgotten. She was completely in awe.

"That movie was mind blowing!" Claudia stated shocked after the movie had finished.

"That ending was very unexpected" Patri joined before the whole group talked about the movie. They discussed the ending, the plot, what they liked and didn‘t like, and the acting skills of each individual - simply everything.

A few weeks later, the call came that Alexia had to attend to an event, nothing knew for the Ballon D‘or winner you might think, but this event was different. Not necessarily from what would happen there but from the guests. Normally, some important people from the sports industry would be there, many media people or other important people in general - people Alexia knew or (dis)liked.

This time though, you would be there too. Alexia only knew this because she saw your instagram story - a window picture out of a plane, Barcelona marked as the destination - big headlines in the news.

In the following days, Alexia acted nervous and excited, sights you didn‘t see often. Mapi made fun of her because of that, even though she could understand Ale‘s excitement - who wouldn’t be excited to meet you?

"How do I look?" Alexia asked Mapi and Ingrid.

Both of them had agreed to help the Barcelona captain get ready as everything had to be perfect - perfect to meet you. She wanted to talk to you - that might be her only chance to ever talk to you, she didn‘t want to ruin that. She had to be subtle about approaching you yet attentive, respectful and kind. She couldn’t be some weird obsessed fan, she had to be herself - Alexia.

"Just be yourself" Mapi stated when Ale couldn’t stop rambling about you. What would you be wearing? How should she start a conversation? Would there even be an opportunity to talk to you? Are you nice? You probably are, no bad words about you in the world - everybody always talking highly of you.

"How am I supposed to be myself?! She‘s literally a Hollywood star!" Alexia defended herself. As if it was so easy to be herself.

"María is right, though" Ingrid added, "Ale, you‘re not just anyone, who knows maybe she‘s a football fan herself. Just start the conversation casually, be nice, ask her about her interests and everything should be fine" the Norse explained, trying to ease the Catalonians mind.

Alexia wasn‘t just anyone, she was a Barcelona player, World Cup winner, 2x Ballon D‘or winner and many other trophies winner, but most importantly, she was human. Her trophies didn‘t defy her as a person - she wasn’t arrogant or bragging about her achievements, instead she was a friendly, caring and supportive friend.

"Thank you"

Alexia attended the event, more nervous than usually.

She talked to the people she had to, conversations about football or other business stuff or talked to some people who she actually enjoyed talking to.

Yet all evening, she kept looking for you, not seeing you anywhere which disappointed her. She was looking forward to see you, for once not on tv.

When she went to the bar, ordering a drink, she had already lost hope, until she tensed up.

"Hola la reina" a voice beside her greeted, accent thick.

Tilting her head, she saw the gorgeous smile of you, "hi" she greeted, smiling shyly.

You had referred to her as la Reina.

"I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed that I was only able to talk to you now" you said, taking a sip of your drink. Everything seemed so effortless when you did it.

"I‘m Y/N Y/L/N, big fan"

Shaking your hand, she replied "Alexia Putellas"

After that the conversation came floating by with an ease, all nervousness from the both of you washed away.

Alexia wasn‘t the only fan girl here, you fan-girled about her just as much, raised as an Barcelona fan since you were a little girl.

All night, you continued flirting with each other, discovering same interests and discussing topics from a-z, also not talking to anyone else but each other. It felt easy to talk to Alexia, no judgement at all as she listened to everything you had to say. She couldn’t care less if it was a random fact, even though you had seemingly very much of them (which she secretly absolutely adored) or if it was your opinion on whatever. She enjoyed hearing you talk, your opinions and points of view well explained.

At some point during the night, she asked "So, you‘re an football fan?"

"Oh yes, absolutely"

"Favorite club?"

"Real Madrid, obviously" you joked, her reaction hilarious - wide eyes, open mouth, look of disgust on her features.

"I‘m joking!" you laughed, "I’m a culer through and through"

"You almost gave me an heart attack!" she hit your arm playfully, continuing to talk about football. This time is was you who listened. The sound of Alexias voice angelic.

You loved how passionate she talked about her profession and how serious she got when she analyzed something, she was the perfect mixture of professionalism and passion - something you admired.

When the night came to an end, you walked her outside, waiting for her taxi to arrive.

"It was nice meeting you, la reina" you beamed, squeezing her hand as you had held it on the way out, so she wouldn’t get lost.

Girls thing.

"Likewise"

Looking at one another with googly eyes, no one realized that the taxi had arrived until the driver honked, bringing you back to earth.

"I would like to see you again, sometime?" you shifted nervously on your feet, eyes darting across her features. She was breathtaking.

"Maybe at the match next weekend?" Alexia didn’t expect you to say yes with your busy schedule and new upcoming projects but she tried it anyways. She really wanted to see you again.

"I will be there"

The midfielder‘s face lit up, the widest smile on her face, eyes sparkling as her heart jumped around happily.

"Good night, la reina and stay safe" you pressed your lips on the barcelona players cheek before you walked back inside with shaking hands. You had just kissed the famous Alexia Putellas’ cheek and it felt good!

Alexia on the other hand had crimson red cheeks, was breathing heavily as she touched completely dazed the spot were your lips had been seconds ago.

It seemed like you would stay for another few days in Barcelona. This wasn‘t the end. Maybe, for once, you wouldn't be playing a role in a romance film, but would be living your very own romance.

Hollywood Stars Donate $1 Million Each To SAG-AFTRA Foundation To Aid Fellow Performers During Dual Strikes

$1 million donors: George & Amal Clooney, Luciana & Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman & Deborra-lee Furness, Dwayne Johnson, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively, Julia Roberts, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Meryl Streep, and Oprah Winfrey.

“The entertainment industry is in crisis and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation is currently processing more than 30 times our usual number of applications for emergency aid,” said SAG-AFTRA Foundation president Courtney B. Vance.

“We received 400 applications in the last week alone. Our Emergency Financial Assistance Program is here to ensure that performers in need don’t lose their homes, have the ability to pay for utilities, buy food for their families, purchase life-saving prescriptions, cover medical bills and more. It’s a massive challenge, but we’re determined to meet this moment. For more than 38 years, the Foundation has been a safety net for our community during its most challenging times, and much like the Covid pandemic, this work stoppage magnifies the precarious living conditions and financial distress of many actors living paycheck to paycheck.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is blaming Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Barbra Streisand as part of the reason why she decided to switch districts.

Boebert accused Hollywood stars of “trying to buy” her current congressional district by donating to her Democrat opponent, Adam Frisch, in an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast Saturday. She said the reason for switching from the state’s 3rd Congressional District to the 4th Congressional District was about “how we can best defend and advance conservative principles.”

“But we need a strong voice there and we have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” she said. “There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy the seat, and Colorado 3rd District is not for sale.”

Boebert announced her district switch last week, meaning she will be avoiding a rematch with Frisch. She narrowly defeated Frisch in the 2022 midterms by about 546 votes. Since then, Frisch has outraised Boebert, with $7.7 million for his campaign compared with her $2.2 million.

Boebert has repeatedly said she “will not allow dark money” to “steal this seat.” She echoed that sentiment in the recent interview, again reiterating that her opponents are being funded by Hollywood.

The discussions you've been having about Joe are so interesting to me and I've been thinking about them quite a bit. I remember being annoyed at how Hollywood media kept hailing Joe as the next big thing for years despite him not doing anything to "earn" that sentiment and how long he was proclaimed this when usually in Hollywood you get a very small window to strike and use your momentum. It was obvious that he was getting all this coverage because he was TS's boyfriend and not of his own merit, yet there are countless actors and actresses of colour who aren't given them same chance. But I never really considered that perhaps he didn't want this title and it was pushed onto him until your post about and I think you're 100% right

I can't remember where I first heard this, but someone said there's a difference between actors and movie stars and when you go into the industry you have to choose who you want to be. It's clear from the choices he's made that Joe wants to be an actor not a movie star like Henry Cavill or Ryan Reynolds, and good on him because a lot of people forget that acting is a craft that you are continually working on, not a money making scheme.

I've also been thinking about swifties reaction to Joe and how it plays into a bigger picture. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching video essays on deprogramming myself from patriarchal ideologies and "traditional gender roles". Whilst a lot us have some sort of understanding that we can't put value on a woman on things like beauty and motherhood and being a nurturing being, we haven't done the same for realising a man's worth is not tied to his ability to "protect and provide". So it's really interesting to have certain people shouting "fuck the patriarchy" whenever they can, but then go on to call Joe broke therefore unworthy. I could go on on this topic for a while but I'll just say that the patriarchy hurts us all and if you are serious about bringing it down, you need to be thinking about how you place value on men.

Anon this is such an amazing ask, thank you so much for taking the time to write this out, I agree with absolutely everything you said! Please send more thoughts if you want to :).

Staff at a Norfolk farm shop and restaurant were stunned when a Hollywood star stopped by this week.

The team at Hirst's Farm Shop & Cafe, in Ormesby St Margaret, took to social media to share a snap of Marvel actor Tom Hiddleston as he posed for a photo.

Pictured with all smiles, the caption read: "Can you tell we have some Tom Hiddleston fans who work here?"

Speaking of the chance encounter, a staff member at Hirst's said: "It was great to meet him!

"He was very willing to have a selfie with our team and it gave them a huge morale boost to start their day seeing a celebrity enjoying their offering on a busy Saturday morning."

The Loki star was also spotted elsewhere in the Great Yarmouth area, dining at The Kings Arms in Fleggburgh last night which was shared on the business's Facebook page.

Afterwards, he reportedly said it was the "best meal" in Norfolk.

The appearance follows shortly after Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds was spotted filming the franchise's latest instalment at Holkham, a location not unused to hosting Hollywood productions.

Norwich regular Hugh Jackman was also in Norfolk recently, where he enjoyed a meal at the Waffle House in St Giles Street, similarly stopping to take a selfie with the team.

The actor's mother lives in the county and he is a diehard supporter of Norwich City, along with Stephen Fry and Delia Smith.

London-born Hiddleston, 42, won two Primetime Emmy Awards as star of TV series The Night Manager and has appeared in films outside of the Marvel universe including Kong: Skull Island and War Horse.

He has regularly been tipped as having the potential to be the next James Bond and his mother reportedly lives in Suffolk.

New Jodie interview. Please someone drop the name of her pup.

It's behind a paywall, so if you want to read it, it's below the cut!

It was a gamble that few actresses would have dared to take. After four years making her name as the charismatic psychopath Villanelle in Killing Eve, Jodie Comer rolled the dice — and changed her life.

Having not acted on stage since she was 16, Comer risked her growing reputation to star in a one-woman show in the West End. Prima Facie proved a sensation and transferred to Broadway. And last year the Liverpudlian won the most prestigious theatre awards on both sides of the Pond — an Olivier and a Tony — and, aged 30, entered a new era. The Com-era, perhaps?

Today she is a fully fledged film star, taking her first leading role in The End We Start From — a smart, bold post-apocalyptic indie drama about a mother (Comer) and her baby (not Comer’s baby). The film already has nine nominations for the British Independent Film awards, and Baftas should follow.

Comer is in a car with a lively dog when we talk via Zoom. She is in a black hoodie, with her long blonde hair loosely tied, and seems extraordinarily calm — except when the dog leaps across the screen. Her Zen is worth mentioning because the last time I saw her was when she prowled the stage with fear and fury in Prima Facie, playing a barrister who defends men accused of sexual assault before she is sexually assaulted herself. One woman going full throttle in defence of all women.

“My sleep was all over the place,” Comer says of her stint playing Tessa. “It’s tricky when you do something emotional. You think, ‘OK, it’s not real.’ But there is some part that tricks your body into believing that what you’re saying and feeling is a real experience. It becomes important to take care of yourself. With theatre it’s kinetic. You’re sharing space with 900 people.

“It’s … it’s tough. But clearly something I love putting myself through.” She pauses. “Yeah, I underestimated Prima Facie. Totally. I just didn’t know what to expect.”

It was not her first ordeal either. She’s drawn to gruelling roles, from Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, in which her character, Marguerite de Carrouges, was the victim of a rape, to Help, the bleak Channel 4 care home Covid drama. There was also Free Guy, a video-games blockbuster with Ryan Reynolds, but when I ask if Comer is tempted to pick something else fun as a break from Prima Facie, she explains that having a laugh is not enough.

“I like to be in a difficult place,” she says. “A place of self-discovery. Where I feel challenged. With Free Guy that part of me that comes away from my work feeling that I had to dig deep was missing … I came away thinking, ‘Wow, I’ve had so much fun.’ And that should be enough. But I like anything that holds a mirror up to this human experience. It’s just what I’m drawn to.”

Which leads us to The End We Start From. The film is directed by Mahalia Belo and takes place in modern-day London, telling the tale of Mother (Comer), whose waters break just as Britain experiences mass flooding. Metaphors à gogo, but the film works superbly as an intimate study of how an individual deals with a global disaster. How can a parent protect a baby as society collapses?

Comer is barely seen on screen without a baby. The crew had to use several because strict rules mean each infant can only work for 20 minutes at a time. (There are agencies that expectant parents use to sign their unborn child up to a film company.)

We all know an actor should never work with children or animals, but a baby is a whole other, wriggly challenge. Comer really does nothing by halves. How hard is it to act with one? “It’s such a lesson,” says Comer, who is not a mother. Did it come naturally? “Oh God, no!”

“The smallest baby was eight weeks,” she explains, smiling softly. “At first my hands were visibly shaking. My younger cousins have grown up now, so I’m not around babies an awful lot. It felt like a huge responsibility. I thought, ‘Wow, they’re so fragile.’ But I became more comfortable, sometimes to my detriment! There are scenes where we needed a baby to cry but I was soothing him instead. The crew would shout ‘Stop!’” She pauses. “I was kind of falling in love with them.”

The film shows the thrill of being a first-time parent much more than the panic. As prep for Prima Facie Comer watched cases at the Old Bailey. What did she do for this? “My best friend had a baby before filming, so I was able to ask personal questions,” Comer says. “I also spent time with midwives — there is a birthing sequence and I wanted to know about the physicality, where you feel pain giving birth. Having not had a child myself, I wanted women to see the truth in what they saw.”

It comes as no surprise that Belo was inspired to direct her first feature film after giving birth during the pandemic. “Your whole body gets taken over by this beautiful thing,” Belo says about being a mother. “Every part of your body is different from then on and it’s not only that — all your relationships are different too. You’ve got this other sound going on, that’s about your children. I wanted to represent that.”

The End We Start From is a film so clearly made by a woman who has young children, you can almost smell the nappies. Post-apocalyptic films usually star a man walking in a desolate landscape alone with his thoughts, and a dog. So it is quietly revolutionary to focus on a woman and her newborn.

“I think so,” Comer says. “What I love is that it’s a woman who is the everyday hero — we always see men with a superhero quality facing this situation. But here it is a woman many will feel they know. She’s not scaling buildings, or jumping over bridges. The story is deep-rooted in her psyche and emotion. It’s refreshing.”

The film also grapples with climate change. “Endless amounts of rain — I can’t see anything out of the window …” Comer says with a sigh as she looks out of the car at a very wet Britain. Belo, who lives in east London, made the film as her neighbourhood in Walthamstow suffered unprecedented flooding. When she consulted flood experts, their conversations were bleak. “Sea levels are rising, rainfall is becoming more extreme. We are an island; things are going to go wrong and we’re not prepared. We know what’s happening.”

For some The End We Start From will just be a stirring story of the lengths that we go to protect our children. Others, though, will locate an edge that is common to so much of Comer’s work. It is another entry on a CV that is trying to make a difference. Does she think that art can actually change anything? “Absolutely,” Comer says. “When I read the scripts they provoked an emotion in me that felt important. I felt engaged and that’s the biggest thing now, isn’t it? To keep people engaged in what you’re saying, and so that you can change things. I witnessed conversations around sexual assault when working on Prima Facie and saw subtle shifts within the law.

“Women and men were telling me what that play had enabled them to do, whether it was to seek counselling or have a conversation with their family. That may seem like a very small change but it is mighty in somebody’s life. You can see what a profound effect watching a piece of art has on somebody. That means a lot to me.”

This desperation to make stuff that really matters is why Comer stands out. She also excels in the 1960s-set The Bikeriders, about gangs and masculinity, out in the summer, alongside Tom Hardy. If you were to put her in a bracket of skill and achievement right now, you could say that she is where Jodie Foster was as she entered her thirties. They share the sass, steeliness and spark that Foster displayed in the controversial courtroom drama The Accused — which deals with the subject of rape — a sort of prototype Prima Facie.

Sonia, I'm roping you in with an ask even though you're not always here (miss u, love u) 💜 we know you are the romcom QUEEN - give us your top 5 favourite romcoms!

Hi friend, thanks for this totally not difficult-at-all question. Lol.

Okay, as you know, I can’t ever answer anything succinctly. I am going to take this opportunity to plug this nonfiction book I’m listening to on audio, titled “From Hollywood with Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy.” –highly recommend it to anyone who is a rom-com nerd like me.

The book asks the following question to determine what can be considered a romantic comedy:

“If you removed the love story from this movie, would you still have a movie? If the answer is no, it’s a romantic comedy.”

With this question in mind, here is my list (not in ranking order, I’m just listing them as they come to me.) Also, yes, this means I can’t list the 2000 gem that was Miss Congeniality. That is my #1 favorite Sandy movie. Not to worry, though, Sandy B. still makes the list.

Here we go:

Serendipity: The trope. NYC as a character. The cast—John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, John Corbett, Molly Shannon, and the illustrious Eugene Levy who stole all of his scenes as the Bloomingdale’s employee making John Cusack’s life miserable lol. It’s just so good. It’s peak rom-com in the early 2000s. Those of you old enough to appreciate that era of rom-coms will know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s one of my all-time favs. 👏🏽

Two Weeks Notice: Sandy B. Listen, I had to work hard not to make every movie on this list a Sandra Bullock-starring film. I feel like choosing your favorite rom-com actress from the 90s/2000s is a little like choosing your boyband team from that same era. I am Team Sandy B. all the way. (No disrespect to Julia and Meg, and so many others who also made movies I loved.) I love Sandra in this movie opposite Hugh Grant, she’s so smart and so funny. The premise of this movie is actually one I still hold out hope for seeing written as firstprince fanfic someday. Sandra is an environmental lawyer who goes to work for a billionaire’s company in order to save a community center that is very dear to her. There are aspects of that plot that I think Alex and Henry would fit into, and aspects to tweak because I don't think Henry would be quite as arrogant or bumbling as Hugh's character. I could talk about this at length lol.

Definitely, Maybe: Again – the cast. Ryan Reynolds. Isla Fisher. Rachel Weisz. Abigail Breslin. The trope/premise?? So good. I love how it jumps through time and shows us how second chances present themselves in our lives. It’s just a really lovely film and probably my favorite Ryan as a rom-com leading man, though The Proposal is a close second.

Hitch: This movie had me in tears, both from laughter and emotions. Also, the scene where Will Smith is teaching Kevin James’ character how to dance. Iconic. "I'm making the pizza!" “Don’t need no pizza, they got food there!” 😂

My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Windex. Nia Vardalos and John Corbett, watching their characters meet and fall in love. Just so damn dreamy. 😍 I also really love how this movie portrays that when you choose a partner, you’re also choosing their family. 💖

Set It Up: I know this is six lol. But I had to add in a movie post-2010. I love this one so much. I know a movie has become part of my personality when I start adopting the dialogue into my everyday vernacular lol. “I overdicked” is said A LOT. 😂 Also GLEN POWELL. 😏

Thanks for the nice ask! 💕

#john corbett and sandra bullock not making a movie together is such a missed opportunity lol #love them both #hoping sandy b. returns to rom coms someday #i miss her #also nyc is the setting for almost all of these #and i think that rom coms are a big reason i love nyc so much #nice asks #sonia answers #rom coms #romantic comedies #90s movies #2000s movies #that thing you queue

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

I've got a couple!

There's the classic Hollywood AU that was born out of my immense love of classic Hollywood (Eartha Kitt is my forever favorite), 1950s pop music (Ella Fitzgerald you will always be famous), and just my overall fascination with pop culture from the 1940s to the 1960s (I love reading about queer relationships from that time, they were like an open secret)

It's inspired by Ryan Murphy's Hollywood and more specifically, the relationship between Archie and Rock.

It would feature TK as an up and coming actor, think James Dean but not as sad. He's someone who loves acting but hates fame and hates that he's stuck doing bad movies just because they make the most money. Carlos would be a screenwriter going by Carl Reynolds to give the impression to the executives that he's white so they would consider his script in the first place.

Long story short, Carlos' movie is the first script that TK loves in a long time and he wants to work close with the scriptwriter to "pick his brain" about it. They end up falling in love behind the scenes after learning they have more in common than they thought.

Judd would be a country film star that's dating blues singer Grace and TK would have a beard named Mary who's actually his co-star and it would be a whole thing.

My other AU is a 1970s rock band AU in which TK is the lead singer of a rock band, and Carlos is a chicano rock singer who's been tasked with opening for TK's band on his upcoming tour. Carlos hates the idea, but his label says it's the best way for his career to take off.

Basically, I listened to The Chain by Fleetwood Mac a little too much and thought huh, what if Carlos and TK had a fling while they were on tour born out of nothing but the rockstar lifestyle and everlasting tension.

Don't know if either of these will ever reach fruition, but isn't it fun to think so?

ask me about my wips

#thanks for the ask and sorry for the absolute essay if you sat through this LMAO #never say never #asked and answered

Anything But Free- Chapter 3

Pairing: Chris Evans x Reader

Summary: you’re Ryan Reynolds’ assistant/best friend/go to gal for everything, and you’re having the time of your life. When he surprises you during the filming of “Free Guy,” you’re wondering if you can actually have it all

Warnings: FLUFFFFFFFF, self doubt, little bit of heat, language, awkwardness, who knows what else

Word Count: 1.7k

---------------------------

By the time your brain processes what’s going on, he’s already kissing you back. God, his lips feel nice, you think to yourself. You pull away, looking down at your hands.

“Oh, my God, I’m so sorry I did that I just-“

He grins, kissing your hand, “don’t apologize. That kiss was…”

“Incredible?”

“I was actually going to say spectacular, but sure, incredible works, too.”

There’s a knock on your booth again as your server delivers your food. She doesn’t say a word, but she gives you a small smile. You feel blood rush to your cheeks and start sipping your water. She tells you to enjoy before closing the curtain back up and departing.

You wordlessly pick up your fork and take a bite, too caught off guard by the incredible taste to stop the moan that slips out. Your eyes widen and you bite your lip, taking a deep breath. You set down your fork and put the napkin on the table.

You step out of the booth, and though you can’t bring yourself to meet his eyes, you look in his general direction and say, “I’m sorry,” before quickly walking out of the restaurant.

You put your AirPods in and speed toward your hotel in the rain, keeping your coat collar up as your head stays down. You reach the building and take the elevator to your floor, not even a little bit surprised to see Ryan outside your room.

“Hey, BUDDY,” he says snarkily, “how was dinner?”

You roll your eyes and unlock your door, trying to stop him coming in. Unfortunately, he’s quicker than you and beats you inside.

“Obviously, Ryan, you know how dinner was.”

“I just want to know why. You’ve always wanted to meet him, I thought you would love this.”

“Ryan! You never meet your heroes. Now I know him. Now he’s interested in me. I don’t want him to see the real me.”

“The real you?” He scoffs, “the real you that is kind, smart, compassionate, wonderful, and selfless? Oh no, why would he ever want to know such a person?”

“He’s a movie star. He knows a lot of big people. I’m just an assistant who happens to be around lots of famous people. I’m too boring for him. I don’t want him to be disappointed.”

“Bub, he’s not gonna be disappointed. You’re my best friend. I want the best for you, but I’m not going to lie to help you get that. I told him a lot about you, some good, some bad.”

“How bad?”

“Eh, that’s a story for another time. Anyway, any and all interest he shows is genuinely him wanting to know you. He wouldn’t just be fucking around with you, that’s not the kind of person he is.”

You sigh, “I mean, I guess you’re right. I am pretty special.”

“Damn straight!” Your buddy says, giving you a high five and patting you on the back. “Now will you please go back to the restaurant?”

You fix yourself up in the mirror and look at him, “okay, get out of my room so I can leave.”

You stride back to the door and open it, startled when you see Chris on the other side, hand raised.

“Sooooooooo I’m gonna go,” Ryan says awkwardly, patting Chris’ shoulder, “hey buddy what’s up okay bye,” he runs down the hallway and hops in the elevator while the doors close.

“Soo…. Do you want to come in?” You ask, stepping aside with an extended arm.

He gestures a thank you as he steps inside, “Sorry, I asked the front desk which one was your room. And I was going to knock, I just…”

“You just?” You prompt, closing the door behind you.

“I just didn’t know if you wanted to see me.”

“Chris,” you sigh, “I’m sorry I left. I was just thinking that I’m not enough for you. You’re used to big Hollywood names. I’m nobody. I’m just an assistant.”

He shakes his head as he takes a step toward you, “you’re not a nobody. You’re you. You’re beautiful, you’re sweet, you’re smart. I don’t want Hollywood. I want you.”

And then, you do it again.

You kiss Chris Evans.

And he kisses you back.

You’re gripping his collar, he’s holding your hips. You lose all sense of space and time, and the two of you are all that exists. Your dizziness reminds you that you haven’t been breathing, so you slowly pull away, looking into pure blue eyes.

“Soo………. Are we doing this?” He asks, his voice light and hopeful.

“We’re doing this,” you confirm, and before you can even think, his lips are on yours again. You zone out for a second, but then pull away and put a hand on his chest.

“So wait, how is this going to work? I’ve never dated a famous person before.”

“That’s up to you, sweetheart. We can try to keep this a secret and out of the public eye. I’m not sure how well that would work, but it’s an option. Orr…” he looks at you cautiously, “we can just be straight up with this so we’re not caught off card.”

“You won’t mind being seen with me?”

“Quite the opposite, actually. I want everyone to know I got you.”

You blush, scrunching your nose, “okay. Let’s go with the second option.”

“Really? Oh my gosh sweetheart this is gonna be amazing, I promise, nobody is gonna say shit about you.”

You kiss him softly when you hear your bedtime reminder go off. “It’s late, we should probably call it a night.”

“Okay, I’ll see you on set tomorrow. You want coffee?”

“I mean…” you look at the floor, refusing to meet his eyes, “if you wanna just sleep here, we can just go to set together in the morning. And get coffee together.”

“Are you sure? I can absolutely go home, no questions asked, and I’ll come pick you up in the morning.”

“No, I mean you can if you want. I was just kind of feeling snuggly,” you say with a small laugh.

“What’s so funny?”

“It sounds so ridiculous out loud. I want to snuggle with Chris Evans.”

He wraps you in a bear hug and gives you a tight squeeze, “well what if Chris Evans wants to snuggle with you, too?”

“Then I guess Chris Evans is spending the night.” He releases you with a kiss on the forehead, and you grab clothes to sleep in. You go into the bathroom and change, then stare at yourself in the mirror.

“Alrighty, Y/N. This is what we’re gonna do. You’re going to get your shit together. You are going to accept that there are genuine and good people in the world, and not everyone is rooting against you. Chris likes you. He wants to be with you. So stop being such a bitch and just be open and nice.”

You take a deep breath, brush your teeth, comb your hair, and step back out into the bedroom.

“Nice room you have here,” he says appreciatively from the bed.

“Yeah it’s pretty cool, Ryan paid for it. He doesn’t let me do anything because, ‘I do everything for him.’ He’s a good buddy, though.” You switch off the overhead light and climb into bed, feeling bare legs against yours.

“I sleep in boxers, is that okay?”

You force yourself to relax, “yeah sure of course,” you muster as the reality of your situation sets in.

You are officially dating Chris Evans. Chris Evans is in your bed. Chris Evans is not wearing pants. Chris Evans!!!!!!

“You still wanna snuggle?” He asks hesitantly.

You nestle yourself securely into the mattress and grin at him, “I’m all yours.”

He flashes a smirk at you and tickles your waist while kissing your neck, before settling in and spooning you. His pelvis pressed against yours, his firm chest against your much smaller back.

“So what happens tomorrow?”

“What happens tomorrow is I’m sure someone knows I’m here, and I’m sure they’ll be waiting downstairs in the morning. I’m also sure that you matter more to me than any of those camera wielding monkeys. You say the word and we take this private. I don’t want to disrupt anything for you.”

“Mm okay Chris,” you mumble as you drift off in your lover’s arms.

——————

You wake up to an alarm, but it’s not your alarm. You feel an unfamiliar warmth around you and start to panic until the memory of last night sets in. You smile to yourself and snuggle into his arms, and he squeezes you in acknowledgement.

“Good morning, sweetheart,” he says softly in your ear. You feel movement and the alarm goes quiet. He slips an arm around your waist and nuzzles into you while peppering your neck with tiny kisses.

“Good morning, babe.”

He groans into your neck, “I like that.”

“I like you,” you grin before rolling over and kissing him firmly on the lips.

He laughs into the kiss, tickling your waist again, “oh yeah?”

You laugh loudly and squirm away from him, but his efforts continue.

“Say it again and I’ll stop!”

“I LIKE YOU!!!!!” You whisper-shout, and he stops. You lean over and kiss him again before getting off the bed. You turn and look at him, hands on your hips.

“You ready?”

He gives you a firm nod and stands up, reminding you that he is in just boxers. You grab an outfit for the day which happens to be skinny jeans and a ruffled top, then turn to see Chris watching you, his eyes darting away when he notices you looking.

Your door chimes, and Ryan walks in with some clothes and 3 coffees.

“Chris, you’re lucky I want you dating my best friend, otherwise I would not have gone to get you clothes and walk your dog.”

He tosses something at Chris, who nods and thanks him before putting on the shirt and sweater.

“So, kids, what happened last night?” Ryan queries, taking a sip of coffee.

Chris smirks and grabs you by the waist, kissing you deeply. He pulls away, looks at Ryan, and says, “a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.”

Hey Huey zoomer, well magical negeroes was a flopped, but those poor black actors, they were pointing out the racist roles they were given throughout their careers. Especially justice smith

Wait

Oh he was in that recent dnd movie, which I heard will be a cult classic soon

Oh he was also in the Jurassic World sequel

Waaaaait, I seen him before

Like in a certain pop culture milestone that made him a household name

Oh right

HE WAS THE STAR OF DETECTIVE PIKACHU

(He also biracial as he played Ryan Reynolds son in it)

Sorry it just yes Hollywood put a lot black actors (and everyone else especially if they were from a poor backgrounds)

Also the white people in the trailer…while I’m estranged from them. My little sister still see our mostly white stepfamily as family. And the white people they bitch about seem upper middle class

…who probably are descendants of those social Darwinists weirdos. Not saying they are as racist, but yeah Hollywood and a lot of it structure was form during social Darwinism and Jim Crow America and yes many black people groups found success in Hollywood during those rough times.

And not to mention most civil rights activists was trying to let working class black people piss in the same bathroom as a white person much less being the heads of Hollywood

This trailer resonated me and a lot of other “marginalized groups” than magical negros did

https://youtu.be/i0MbLCpYJPA?si=JztSsnHBw827_-DU

Sorry like a critic said, this is stick of dynamite, did someone probe my brain with the pigeonholing white liberals did to black writers?

I see you American fiction crew members

I shall buy the 4k or blu ray when it out as a toast

Sorry probably it because I’m a midwestern and in general a lot of famous people from here are what Gilded Age Queen would call new money IE Micheal Jackson, Walt Disney, and Henry.

Perhaps another anon, hell I just realize something even both Disney channel cartoon and Sitcom pointed out how different a magical society in America would be due to our melting pot culture.

glad to hear it flopped at least, and the racist roles they've been given, this was one of them and it's not like they didn't accept them this isn't the 1930's where you're under contract with a studio and have to make what they tell you to make.

Don't know justice smith, but I'll take your word for all that.

who probably are descendants of those social Darwinists weirdos. And not to mention most civil rights activists was trying to let working class black people piss in the same bathroom as a white person much less being the heads of Hollywood

Upper middle class people be like that ya, you hit a certain point on the income tree and things like race, gender, and sexuality start to matter less and less as you shift towards how can I make more money off of all of these people.

Not a hard and fast rule, but it seems to happen a lot. Segment from a Trump interview in the late 90's I think it was talking about guys who like guys, he's just like 'I'm happy for them, not my thing but more power to ya'

youtube

Oh this is delightful also feels like something certain members of the black community would call racist, educated well spoken black man tends to get called all manner of awful things, hardcore leftists are some of the worst about it too.

But sorry for ranting…you know I started my creative trend after talking to an Indian woman about Rowling weird lore about American Wizarding society. Which eventually lead me to learning about the “Queen” of New York City Glided Age Sorry probably it because I’m a midwestern and in general a lot of famous people from here are what Gilded Age Queen would call new money IE Micheal Jackson, Walt Disney, and Henry.

Mrs. Astor had the money and the pedigree to do that, not that it's right to look down on people but as folks go that would have the ability to do that she's pretty high on the list.

Cathy Bates did a wonderful job as "The Unsinkable" Molly Brown in the Titanic movie, split the difference between old and new money, her still being uncouth and what not.

Not Duck Dynasty level, but they don't actually care if they fit in or not, also I imagine a bunch of that is an act.

Perhaps another anon, hell I just realize something even both Disney channel cartoon and Sitcom pointed out how different a magical society in America would be due to our melting pot culture.

That and guns, post on here about the American exchange wizard at Hogwarts that casts Glock-19 or something like that.

Also I'm gonna nominate the Bass Pro Shop pyramid as our school location.

[UHQ] Darren Criss, left, sings with Oscar-winning composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul at a 2023 Oscars singalong event for the shortlisted best song contender “Good Afternoon” from the Apple Original Films musical “Spirited.” (Photo by Stewart Cook / Apple Original Films)

Watch Darren Criss lead a star-studded ‘Spirited’ singalong to kick off Oscar race

What happens when you get Broadway singers and Emmy-, Grammy-, Oscar- and Tony-winning songwriters in a room with a piano during awards season? Singalongs. Lots of them.

Diane Warren joined in Wednesday night in Hollywood as “Glee’s” Darren Criss and a crowd of music lovers belted out her Oscar-nominated “Armageddon” ballad “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.

------

Once the music began at the bash — for Benj Pasek and Justin Paul‘s 2023 Oscar-hopeful tune “Good Afternoon,” from the Apple Original Films musical “Spirited” — it didn’t stop. Hosted by Darren and Mia Criss at their piano bar Tramp Stamp Granny’s, the FYC event kicked off with a performance of Pasek and Paul’s “Good Afternoon,” from the Ryan Reynolds-Will Ferrell “Christmas Carol” retelling, with a Golden Globes-inspired twist.

------

Songwriting duo Pasek and Paul, who won the Oscar for their “La La Land” song “City of Stars,” went on to lead singalongs of their hits from “Dear Evan Hansen” and “The Greatest Showman” with Criss on the microphone.

Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter Siedah Garrett later joined Criss singing “Man in the Mirror,” which she co-wrote with Michael Jackson, before “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical” composer Emily Bear took to the piano to accompany Broadway touring singer Sis (“Oklahoma!”) on the “Little Mermaid” classic “Part of Your World.”

As production on Deadpool 3 is in a holding pattern due to the Hollywood strikes, the film’s leads and its director pass the time in other ways.

Deadpool 3 is rumored to be many things, but what is concretely known about the threequel is that Shawn Levy will direct Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as they return to their iconic roles of Wade Wilson and Wolverine.

Shawn Levy Shares Photo of ‘Three Amigos’

Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy took to Instagram to share a photo of himself, and stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds sharing a meal together:

The caption on Levy’s post reads: “Three amigos waiting to shoot again...”

Indeed, production on Deadpool 3 is currently paused and will not resume until SAG-AFTRA reaches a new agreement with the AMPTP. The film was reportedly seven weeks into photography when the work stoppage commenced.

Will Deadpool 3 Get Delayed?

Will Marvel Studios push back Deadpool 3 due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, as it has done with several other MCU projects? Put simply, the movie still has a fair chance of retaining its current release date if the strikes end soon.

Presently, the Writers Guild of America is once again in discussion with the studios. Talks have continued throughout the week with some apparent signs of progress being reported.

Only after a potential deal is agreed upon with the WGA, will the AMPTP reopen negotiations with the actors’ guild. Some in the industry are optimistic that everything could be back on track as early as October, but this is not currently set in stone.

If things go according to plan, though, Deadpool 3 won’t be subject to the same fate as Daredevil: Born Again and Captain America: Brave New World which have been pushed into release windows that are far later than originally projected

Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3 is slated to hit theaters on May 3, 2024.

The Lily James debate got me thinking about how somewhat successful and financially sound actresses don't go for full blown Hollywood guys anymore. They may settle down with industry adjacent guys like Scarlett and Emma Stone, both of whom are married to SNL people but not successful actors like themselves. I think even Margot Robbie's husband is a producer or something. There are many examples.

Even the Hollywood actors who rake in the big bucks rarely seem to end up with an equally successful partner from the industry. Most of them go for C/D list tv actresses or models. Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds, and Brad and Angie were exceptions but they didn't work out.

Currently I can maybe only think of Ben and Jenn as being equals in terms of stardom, success, and finances. Maybe Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas? But again, they've been successful in different areas of entertainment. I would have included Tom and Zendaya because I love them together but they're both so young. I really don't think they'll go the distance.

Sorry for the long post. Just thought it was an interesting observation about relationship dynamics within Hollywood.

No, you're right, it is interesting. I think it was maybe ScarJo who once made some comment in an interview about a flower not being able to be in a relationship with another flower; there needs to be a gardener to tend to the flower. I think she was basically saying in her own experience she needs someone who can help take that secondary role to help her "bloom" her best. The gardener does the hard work that keeps the relationship together, the flower gets to thrive.

Perhaps that's not a very healthy analogy, but it did seem very telling of how Hollywood stars may feel about their relationships.

I know we all love Ryan and Blake, but I stumbled on this 2017 interview in Variety and now I REALLY get why they're friends and why the Kelce's are all a perfect extended family.

Read the whole thing if you can, but they are all the same kind of people. The ones who take the talents they know they have and work their asses off to just be a part of the conversation and end up being brilliant at that AND so much more without ever losing who they are and their appreciation for what they have in the process.

And they don't lie about working to be broadly appealing and enjoying the trappings of celebrity, while somehow retaining their openness and innate kindness - even as people accuse them of being the opposite.

***********************************************

Hollywood has been nervous about introducing same-sex couplings in superhero movies, out of fear that gargantuan tentpoles could alienate audiences in countries less tolerant of gay rights. “That’s not really a problem for us, because we were banned in China,” Reynolds notes. “We were rated ‘F–k you!’ in China.” But judging by the illegal downloads, “Deadpool” was just as popular there asanywhere else. “We might have been the first billion-dollar R-rated movie,” Reynolds muses.

In that spirit, Reynolds has big plans for Deadpool’s next act, which will shoot in 2017 for a 2018 release. (The first movie’s director, Tim Miller, left the sequel over creative differences and will be replaced by David Leitch.) “The budget is not going to be phenomenally bigger,” Reynolds says, but then takes it back. “Who knows? Maybe the budget will be bigger — anything can happen.”

He’s not worried about being typecast as a comic-book hero. “I would love to play Deadpool for as long as they would let me play Deadpool,” he says. “We have outlines and stories for a number of different films.” He envisions a standalone movie with Deadpool and Wolverine — although that’s news to Jackman.

“I’m hesitating,” says Jackman, who plans on retiring the Wolverine character this year, “because I could totally see how that’s the perfect fit. But the timing may be wrong.”

Reynolds isn’t giving up. “I have no idea if I can change his mind,” he says. “It’s the audience: I would exclusively exploit that relationship to get Hugh back for another one.”

Reynolds doesn’t act like a mega movie star. He arrives early for his photo shoot and shakes hands with members of the crew. He’s not shy about eye contact with strangers. When I start to feel carsick on the ride back to his hotel, he channels a Lamaze coach, saying, “You’re doing great.”

His compassion makes sense: He grew up in Vancouver suffering from anxiety. “I have three older brothers,” he says. “Our father was tough. He wasn’t easy on anyone. And he wasn’t easy on himself. I think the anxiety might have started there, trying to find ways to control others by trying to control myself. At the time, I never recognized that. I was just a twitchy kid.”
