Alison Brie and Dave Franco: ‘We don't need an intimacy co-ordinator'
I met Dave through a mutual friend at the New Orleans Mardi Gras in 2011. And I freely admit the first thing that attracted me to him was: wow, he is hot! I was single and ready to have fun so… we had a weekend of debauched fun. It was only as I was flying back to Los Angeles that I realised there was also something deeper. We had clicked. I guess you call it true love. We spent the next five weeks apart and turned into a couple of teenagers. He was sending me his favourite songs, and we were on the phone for hours every night telling anecdotes about our childhood, laughing at the same jokes. It felt like old-time dating. I've still got all those songs on my phone, including I Found You by Alabama Shakes — that was our wedding song. The funny thing was that Dave was a huge Mad Men fan and he never mentioned it. I only realised later when he started talking about Don Draper and the Sixties outfits. It's the show most people want to know about. What was Jon Hamm like? And Elisabeth Moss? They were wonderful and everything about the show was — impeccable. Yeah, that's the word. My character, Trudy, had a pretty tough time. Her husband, Pete, was a conniver; he cheated on her. She stood up to him but within the framework for a Sixties housewife. At the time everyone asked me if it made me want to live in the Sixties. You think women want to go back to that? When Dave eventually moved in with me in LA, it all went surprisingly smoothly. No cranky periods where I had to tell him how to load the dishwasher. Because we spent most nights at my place, his two 18lb cats moved in first. Nothing says 'I love you' like presenting your new girlfriend with your cats' litter tray. Acting is a front-facing, extroverted job but Dave is kind of the complete opposite. He was very shy as a kid and still conducts himself in a moderate way. I have always been pretty outgoing and was on the wild side when I met him. Dave keeps me on a more even keel without taking away my zest for life. Having said that, he had a few surprises up his sleeve. Did you hear about him having sex with a previous girlfriend on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland? Good for him. I'm glad he was sowing his wild oats then! Being anti-marriage was once a solid part of my identity and I vowed it would never get in the way of my creative pursuits. My parents are wonderful but they divorced and I didn't have many examples of happily married adults. Dave flipped some kind of switch in me. I suddenly felt this deep pull to make a commitment. I know it's only rings and a bit of paper but you're telling the world that this matters. We're in for the long haul. • Alison Brie on body confidence, marriage and why she's choosing not to have children In the past I said I didn't want to have kids and that's still the case. My career is paramount. Anyway, we have two new cats — the old ones passed away — and they are our babies. But, hey, I'm only 42. Never say never. In our new film, Together, we play a couple whose reliance on each other leads to some quite horrific outcomes and I'll admit there are some parallels between what's on and off screen. Not the horrific outcomes, but we play a couple who have a solid history together. The film also involves lots of intimate scenes, which was kind of weird. Doing what we had to do in front of a hundred people was a new experience. Dave has directed me in other movies, other sexual scenes. Was he jealous? Not at all. In The Rental with Dan Stevens he kept saying, 'This has got to look authentic.' I guess that's the great thing about us both being actors. We understand the separation of real emotion and something you're doing at work. I'm not sure if Alison knows this, but I actually saw her at New Orleans airport before we met at Mardi Gras. She was in an Adidas tracksuit and dancing around the terminal with absolute abandon. I remember thinking how comfortable she seemed in her own skin and how uncomfortable I sometimes feel in mine. The idea that anything would happen between us just a few hours later? C'mon, I was a single guy with two 18lb cats. Alison being interested in me was never gonna happen. And then, after this crazy weekend, I found her Mardi Gras mask in my apartment with her phone number written on the back. I'm not a complete introvert but I don't have a long battery life in social situations. After I've been around people for a while, I like to go home. But Alison is so loose that she brings this effervescent energy into the room. It's infectious, even on a film set. She got me dancing at Mardi Gras, in full public view. If you knew how bad my dancing is, you'd understand what a big deal that was for me. Alison dances constantly; in our wedding vows, I said I'd dance with her any place, any time. I thought it was a bit of fun but she has completely taken advantage of my promise. We can be in the supermarket, in the audience at a theatre; she gives me the look and I have to dance. Alison brings me out of my shell, out of my comfort zone. After that first weekend, we didn't see each other for five weeks. We'd been talking constantly on the phone, but on the day we met up again I thought it would all go wrong. Our time at Mardi Gras was full-on decadence that had no connection with real life. This would be the first time we'd see each other sober. But when Alison knocked on my door, all my worries melted away. There she was. I knew in an instant it was OK. I love watching Alison work. When she was training for Glow, the wrestling show, it was total dedication. She was in the gym every day, getting thrown around, not caring if she got hurt. That's what I mean about her being loose — she brings everything to that moment and brings the best out of everybody else. When I work with Alison, I go to places I'd never get to on my own. That made this new film a delight for us. And as a couple, we didn't need an intimacy co-ordinator. We've been together almost 15 years; we know what we're doing and we're pretty comfortable with it. The co-dependency of the characters we play reaches dangerous levels, but I think a certain amount is healthy. That's only possible because our jobs also force us to spend a lot of the year apart. I welcome that space because it allows me to miss her — and I do, terribly. Talking about yourself is a part of this job I don't always feel comfortable with — I'm not on social media. But if you ask me about my cats or how much I love my wife and how she's changed me in so many beautiful ways, hell, I can gush about that for as long as you is in cinemas now Alison on DaveHe buys hundreds of chapsticks but never carries one. I have four or five in my bag because I know he will steal them Dave on AlisonAlison knows I'm a nervous flyer. Every time we hit turbulence, even if she's fast asleep, she reaches out and takes hold of my hand

This over-the-top U.S. Open activation lets you breakfast-in-bed right on the tennis court
The U.S. Open already delivers high-stakes drama, envious fits and more celebrity sightings than a SoHo brunch spot. But this year, IHG Hotels & Resorts is serving an entirely new kind of courtside fantasy. As the tournament's official hotel and loyalty program partner, IHG is offering tennis lovers the chance to win "Bed on the Baseline," which is exactly what it sounds like: breakfast in bed—right on the court. Think: Louis Armstrong Stadium, the crowd's roars replaced by serene quiet, the air still humming from the earlier match. A private car whisks you there, where you're greeted by your own concierge and led to a bed parked where tennis greats were volleying just minutes earlier. Get cozy in a plush IHG robe and slippers while you watch highlights from matches on the massive stadium screen as you indulge in a room service–style breakfast. This isn't just a luxe escape; it's a bucket-list item. Don't worry, IHG didn't forget everyone's favorite part of the U.S. Open. Forget the Honey Deuce; IHG is debuting its own tournament cocktail, the Watermelon Slice, a delicious mix of Moët & Chandon, watermelon juice, elderflower liqueur and lime, garnished with an actual wedge of watermelon and poured into a tennis-themed collectible cup. But don't worry, IHG would never deny non-attendees the chance to feel like they're basking in the summer sun, wearing all white with their heads swiveling from player to player. The Watermelon Slice will also be available at the IHG Racquet Bar on site and at select IHG hotels around NYC. Bed on the Baseline will be held on September 17. IHG loyalty members have until September 7 to enter for a chance to win the 'Bed on the Baseline' package at IHG One Rewards Access. (Non-members can register for free at This is, essentially, the U.S. Open as a five-star bed rot: a love letter to both hospitality and hardcourt magic. Sure, not everyone will score the Bed on the Baseline experience, but just knowing it exists makes the tournament feel a little more decadent. Because if there's one thing New Yorkers understand, it's that the best seat in the house is sometimes an actual bed. The 2025 U.S. Open Tennis Championships run from August 18 through September 7 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York.

'The Lord of the Rings - A Musical Tale' review: Ambitious, but plenty of off-the-cuff fun
Well Frodo, we're not in The Shire anymore. If you've ever longed to wander Middle-earth – from the cosy lanes of Hobbiton to the lofty halls of Rivendell, and even the fiery pits of Mordor – grab a stall seat at The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale, now at the Sands Theatre till August 31. The story doesn't just play out on stage – it happens all around you. The pre-show is a delightful shindig: hobbits scurry through the aisles, ring-toss games unfold, and you're invited to belt out "Happy Birthday" to Bilbo in surprisingly theatrical style. The story truly unfolds when Frodo inherits a mysterious gold ring, setting him on a perilous journey to Mordor to confront evil with the Fellowship. Time Out tip: a front-row stall gets you maximum Middle-earth mingling – we had Gandalf behind us and Gollum crawling past in the dark. Folk-tinged, Mumford & Sons-style tunes keep things breezy, and it's charming to see the cast double as musicians – strumming guitars, plucking violins, even coaxing a harp. But the songs are – dare we say – forgettable and don't add to the story much. A little disappointing coming from multi-award-winning composer A.R. Rahman. Nonetheless, Stefanie Caccamo and Jemma Rix blew us away with soaring vocals as Arwen and Galadriel, punching through their musical numbers. However, surtitles would have been handy when Elvish or Dwarvish lyrics and dialogues take over. While the cast are the heroes here, the true villain is the running time. Three hefty tomes are crammed into a three-hour sprint, with Act I zipping through The Fellowship of the Ring and Act II hurtling through the rest like it's late for a very important appointment with Mount Doom. The pace leaves no room for the story to breathe, and unless you already know your Baggins from your Balrog, you'll be wandering in the dark. For context: each of Peter Jackson's films runs around three hours – and he still needed extended cuts to fit in all the key moments. Now imagine trying to squeeze the whole trilogy into a single musical. The show is a mixed bag. But there are some eye-catching visuals to bring the story to life – washes and flashes of coloured lights, Nazgûl puppet heads looming over the audience, spotlit Frodo halting in the darkness as the Ring's power floods him, and a billowing sheet morphing into the fiery beast that Gandalf famously shall not let pass. There's also a playful run-in with an oversized spider. For Tolkien diehards, it's an intriguing – if imperfect – addition to the legendarium. For everyone else, it's like being dropped into Mordor without so much as a map. But hey – seeing Gollum hiss 'my precious' in the flesh? It's pretty worth it.
