Austin Butler recalls trippy Bad Bunny concert after taking edible: 'My brain is in two movies'
The Oscar-nominated actor, 33, opened up about his now-viral concert experience attending Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, during an Aug. 12 appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
At one point during the show, the Grammy-winning reggaeton superstar invited Butler to join him onstage, as seen in fan footage shared on social media. The "Elvis" star could be seen grooving to the music, swaying his hips and clapping to the beat, as Bad Bunny performed for fans.
Butler told "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that his concert euphoria wasn't just a musical high.
"Somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time," Butler said. "Then it turns out we're in like, a casita, a house that is basically the second stage. (Bad Bunny) comes, and he's on that stage at one point."
He continued: "The edible is working. So, it's like my brain is in two movies. One is like, 'Benito and I had lunch earlier in the day, I'm just like, so proud of him.' I'm watching him going, 'Oh my God, look how much you mean to everyone here.' I'm like, falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing, and everybody is so sexy and amazing."
Bad Bunny kicked off his concert residency on July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island's largest indoor arena. The "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" singer is expected to continue his performances every weekend through Sept. 14, followed by a world tour that commences in November.
Bad Bunny makes history with residency. It's not the first time he's set records.
Why Austin Butler felt like he needed to 'hide' his dancing at Bad Bunny concert
Butler wanted to have a blast at Bad Bunny's residency concert, but not at the expense of his amigo, Benito.
During his "Tonight Show" interview, Butler said he didn't want his onstage cameo to outshine Bad Bunny's performance.

"The other part of me is like, 'Don't dance because you'll take attention away from him. This is his moment,' " Butler explained. "So I'm like, 'hide.' My body is saying 'hide,' but then the music is so good, and it's like in my bones at that point."
The actor said this inner conflict influenced his low-key dance moves at the show: "I ended up just swaying my hips while crossing my arms. For whatever reason, every time I uncrossed my arms, I felt like I was drawing attention to myself, so I was like, 'This is OK.' "

Therefore, expect another viewership spike next month. Advertisement Wednesday Season 2: Part 1 is now streaming only on Netflix. Wednesday Season 2: Part 2 will be available on September 3

Angelina Jolie preparing to put luxe Hollywood estate on the market as upcoming milestone frees her from LA
Actress Angelina Jolie is said to be getting ready to part ways with the historic Los Angeles estate that she has called home for the last eight years, as she prepares for a move away from the U.S. According to multiple reports, the Oscar-winning starlet is planning to 'put the house up for sale' in the coming months with a view to relocating abroad when her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 in July next year. Jolie, 50, has previously revealed her desire to live outside of the U.S., telling The Hollywood Reporter that she was only residing in California because it was one of the conditions of her divorce settlement from her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Speaking to the outlet about the terms of the agreement with Pitt, 61, in the 2024 interview, Jolie revealed that she was bound to remain in L.A. until all of their children reach the age of 18, admitting at the time that she hoped to spend 'a lot of time in Cambodia' when she leaves. Now, as that date approaches, sources claim that Jolie is beginning to make preparations for her exit from U.S. soil, with an insider telling People: '[Angelina] plans to relocate as soon as Knox and Viv turn 18 next year. She's eyeing several locations abroad. She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles.' '[She] never wanted to live in L.A. full time. She didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad.' 5 Actress Angelina Jolie is said to be getting ready to part ways with the historic LA estate that she has called home for the last eight years. Anadolu via Getty Images Part of those preparations, the insider said, will be making some minor improvements to her historic home, which is known as the Cecil B. DeMille estate in honor of the famed director, who lived there for 40 years until his death in 1959. Jolie took on that slice of Hollywood history in 2017, when she purchased the property for $24.5 million—later explaining that she had chosen the home because of its proximity to her former spouse, from whom she split in 2016. 'I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,' she told British Vogue in 2021. After her separation from Pitt, with whom she shares six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, Knox, and Vivienne, the pair became embroiled in a bitter divorce battle that saw them sparring over custody arrangements, shared properties, and even involved allegations of abuse. 5 According to multiple reports, Jolie is planning to 'put the house up for sale' in the coming months. nobyline@backgrid / BACKGRID That legal battle raged on for eight years before finally being settled in December 2024. And while both parties have only shared a few scant details about their split, Jolie did hint at some of the legal details agreed upon by herself and Pitt when she spoke out about the nature of their custody agreement and the restraints that it has put on her life.

'When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here. [After Los Angeles,] I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.' 5 The property features six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and an array of amenities. nobyline@backgrid / BACKGRID For much of the time since her split from Pitt, Jolie has resided primarily in the historic 11,000-square-foot abode in Los Feliz, which was built back in 1913, and boasts six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. In addition to its many bedrooms and bathrooms, the Beaux Arts-style mansion, which was built in 1913, also offers an array of living spaces, including a 'beautiful pool house' and a 'studio house' that has its own entrance. And while the home maintains its historic appearance, it underwent an extensive six-year renovation before Jolie purchased it—with the picture-perfect grounds and the swimming pool also given a meticulous overhaul. 5 Jolie, 50, has previously revealed her desire to live outside of the U.S. WireImage 'A newer classic old Hollywood style pool with arched fountains, surrounded by rolling lawns, specimen trees, rose gardens, and dramatic views from the Observatory to Ocean sunsets,' the original listing description said. Should Jolie follow through with her plans to move abroad, she will join a long line of celebrities who have quit the U.S. in recent months—with many pointing to President Donald Trump's reelection as the reason for their relocation. Among those who have fled further afield are actress Rosie O'Donnell, who revealed in January that she had moved to Ireland along with her youngest child, Dakota 'Clay' O'Donnell, 12, who is nonbinary. 5 Jolie revealed that she was bound to remain in L.A. until all of their children reach the age of 18. AFP via Getty Images At the time, O'Donnell said that she no longer felt 'safe' living in the U.S. under Trump's presidency—a declaration that saw him threatening to revoke her citizenship for good. Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres recently confirmed for the first time that her decision to move to the U.K. with her wife, Portia de Rossi, was prompted by Trump's victory in the 2024 election, telling British broadcaster Richard Bacon that they had originally only intended to reside in the country for a few months out of the year. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'' she explained during a July 20 appearance at the Everyman theater in Cheltenham, England. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.''

$3 Million Watches and Caviar for the Cat: How Becca Bloom Became the Queen of RichTok
BECCA BLOOM smiles at the camera and tells her followers she's going to serve a breakfast prepared by her private chef. She holds up a lime-green porcelain Versace platter patterned with an explosion of gold leaves and flowers. 'Oscar and I are eating from matching chargers this morning,' she says brightly. As she assembles the food, she lists each ingredient in a soft, soothing voice: sushi-grade salmon sashimi, tuna bone broth, soft-boiled quail eggs, salmon roe caviar, freeze-dried codfish, edible flower garnishes—and a single blueberry. 'So he can play around with it after he's done,' she explains. After all, the spread isn't for the influencer, whose real name is Rebecca Ma, but her cat. The video cuts to Oscar (a Scottish fold, which Ma chose because Taylor Swift has two of them), contentedly licking away at the salmon from a plate sitting atop the decorative Versace dish. His caviar remains untouched.
