'On the second or third day, I think he kind of started liking me. We were sitting together, and that's when we started talking. He asked about my background and where I came from. I also showed him my earlier work, very humbly. He blessed me at that time. He said, 'You know, mark my words. If you keep up the struggle and keep hustling, you will definitely reach great heights.' I remember he even tweeted that,' he added.

'Anora' star Mikey Madison was almost in Star Wars? Here's what we know

Mikey Madison Mikey Madison , the breakout sensation of 'Anora' is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand names in the film industry. With an Oscar under her belt and accolades like a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award in her name, the 26-year-old actress is now a top contender for high-profile projects. But in an alternate timeline, Madison could have been headed not to the gritty streets of indie cinema but to the stars literally. As per a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, Madison was in serious consideration for a role in Shawn Levy 's upcoming project, which is also expected to star Ryan Gosling . While the casting never reached the final stages, sources revealed that discussions were indeed happening and the excitement around her potential involvement had been swirling for months within Hollywood circles. Levy and Lucasfilm's fresh take piqued Madison's interest Director Shawn Levy has been developing a new Star Wars installment with Lucasfilm since 2022. In a recent podcast appearance, Levy discussed his ambition to depart from the franchise's familiar tropes. 'I don't want to make a film that feels like a rerun,' he shared, hinting at a storyline that veers away from the timeline-heavy narratives fans have come to expect. That creative pivot seems to align perfectly with Madison's current artistic direction. After her breakthrough in 'Anora,' which debuted at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, she has been carefully choosing roles that challenge the norm. Her interest in this galaxy spanning saga may have stemmed from that same desire to explore unexpected, genre-defying stories. From Tarantino to horror hits, Madison's choices have always surprised Before 'Anora' catapulted her into the spotlight, Madison already had notable roles in films like Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and 2022's 'Scream 5.' Known for taking on unconventional, risk taking roles, her near miss with Star Wars adds another intriguing layer to her evolving career. She also considered a part in Alejandro Landes' Reptilia, a romantic fantasy involving a mermaid and a dental hygienist, according to The Hollywood Reporter. These varied choices prove Madison isn't afraid to venture into strange, bold territory, whether grounded in human emotion or set among the stars. Though the role didn't materialize, Madison's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Despite personal transitions, Zoe's professional star has only risen, with her influence still felt on red carpets and in fashion circles.

As Bravo teases more cast announcements, one thing is certain: RHOBH's 15th season is shaping up to be its most fashionable yet.

Image via: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire/ Getty Images In an event that was as entertaining off the court as it was on, Michael Beasley stole the spotlight with a dominant one-on-one victory over Lance Stephenson. But an even more jaw-dropping postgame message sparked wide attention. The highly anticipated showdown took place at TNC 02 and saw Beasley walk away with a $100,000 cash prize and some viral bragging rights. But the biggest moment came after the event, when Beasley let loose with a comment that sent the internet into a frenzy. Michael Beasley sends NSFW to Lance Stephenson on Instagram Michael Beasley, a former No. 2 overall NBA draft pick, showed flashes of the promise that once made him the most hyped freshman in the nation. Facing Lance Stephenson, a player equally known for his flair and unfinished NBA story, Beasley proved that while their NBA days may be over, their competitive fire is still burning hot. After sealing the 31-21 victory, Beasley's message to Stephenson wasn't a standard sportsmanship handshake. 'Great game bro,' he began. Then came the line that lit up social media, 'I love you to the moon and back, now grab a cigarette and a towel. We made a s*xtape Kim K would envy.' The message was wild, and for fans, was weirdly affectionate.
