Set in a mythical time when early humans coexisted with dinosaurs, the story follows Sanna, a young woman who escapes being sacrificed by her own sun-worshipping tribe.

Gary Oldman Names The Film Of His He's 'Triggered' By When He Sees It
Sir Gary Oldman has admitted there's one hugely popular film of his that he still struggles to sit through. The newly-knighted British actor recently sat down with the Happy Sad Confused podcast for a career-spanning conversation about his life and acting. During the discussion, host Josh Horowitz brought up The Fifth Element, the sci-fi movie Sir Gary starred in back in 1997. While the film – which also featured Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich and Chris Tucker – split opinion down the middle upon its original release, it's since gone on to become a cult classic with a loyal following. However, it seems Sir Gary is not a part of that. The Oscar winner revealed that while his wife of eight years, Gisele Schmidt, has talked him round from hating the film, it's still not one he'd want to watch without her encouragement. 'She has convinced me that it's a better film than I think it is,' he said, to laughter from the audience. 'I'm contaminated, because I was the one who had that haircut. And I was the one who was wearing rubber. So, others can experience it in a different way. I get a little triggered when I see it, and I go back to that place of Jean-Paul Gaultier and rubber.' He added: 'Bruce didn't like [that] either. You know that orange vest that he wears? He hated it.' During a 2014 interview with Playboy, Sir Gary claimed he 'can't bear' watching The Fifth Element, having said at a Bafta event years earlier: 'It was me singing for my supper because [director Luc Besson] had come in and partly financed Nil By Mouth.' It's fair to say that Sir Gary has no issues criticising his own past work, though. That same Playboy interview saw him admitting he's unimpressed with his own performance in Sid & Nancy, claiming he 'didn't want to make it in the first place' and was 'talked into it at the time'. In 2023, he also described his performance as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies as 'mediocre'. 'If I sat and watched myself in something and said, 'My God, I'm amazing,' that would be a very sad day, because you want to make the next thing better,' he added.

Sir David Beckham's mother can't stop crying after knighthood announcement
Sir David Beckham has revealed his mother couldn't stop crying over his knighthood. On Friday (13.06.25), the retired football legend was named in the King's Birthday Honours ahead of an official ceremony, and he has opened up about his mother Sandra's reaction after they enjoyed a lunch at Tony's Pie and Mash in London. He wrote on Instagram: "Lunch with Mum , haven't seen her since the news... "Mum cried when she arrived , cried during lunch and cried when I was leaving x special moment for us all. "Love you mum x @sandra_beckham49 (Dads next) (sic)" Sandra admitted she felt "emotional" having people approach her son to offer their congratulations using his new title. She commented under the post: "Love you more... was emotional people saying congratulations Sir... see tears again (sic)" David is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with her. The Manchester United legend - whose wife will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham - has been given the honour for services to sport and charity. Victoria wrote on Instagram after the news: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. "Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. "The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. "But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx" In 2003, he was given an OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to football. The former England captain has a long history of charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour.
