Twilight star who went nude with Nicole Kidman in controversial film shocks with dramatic transformation
The actor was previously involved in controversy after he and Kidman — with whom he shares a 25-year age gap — filmed a 'creepy' bathtub scene together in Birth.
Since starring in the 2004 psychological thriller, he has appeared in various minor projects but most notably starred in three installments of The Twilight Saga.
Cameron Bright, now 32, has since stepped away from the limelight and taken up fishing as he occasionally shows off his catches on social media.
Over four years ago, he opened up about wanting to become a film producer and shared a Instagram post of a script he was working on with a friend.
However, it appears that he has since decided to become a video game streamer on Twitch nowadays and currently resides in Vancouver Island, Canada after leaving Hollywood behind.
In early February, he shared photos of himself partaking in island fishing and showing off his haul while fishing off of a boat in the ocean.
He looked unrecognizable bundled up for fishing on the chilly weather after his dramatic transformation since his child and teenage acting years.
Over two decades ago, the film he starred in alongside Kidman, 57, was the subject of controversy due to the age gap between the leading stars and their nude bathtub scene, which many critics called 'creepy' at the time.
He is also known for his work in the Twilight movie series.
Bright played the Volturi vampire Alec, twin brother to Jane, who is played by Dakota Fanning, in the Twilight films New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), and Breaking Dawn, Part II (2012).
The premise of the thriller Birth follows Kidman as a widow named Anna, who is planning to marry her boyfriend Joseph (Danny Huston) about 10 years after her late husband Sean's death.
Just as she's about to move on, however, a young boy named Sean turns up on the night of her engagement party and tells her that he is her late husband reincarnated.
At first, she ignores him but when he reveals his uncanny knowledge of her former husband's life, she starts to believe that he could be telling her the truth.

When the movie was released, though it was critically acclaimed for both Kidman and Bright's performances, there was a divided reaction to their 'nude' scene together due to the child star being a minor.
The movie, which was directed by Jonathan Glazer, was heavily criticized at the time of its release but fans have grown to praise the film over time.
Last year, the Babygirl actress revisited and reflected on the movie as she talked about how she does not agree with people who call the movie 'strange' and 'unsettling.'
'I just have an enormous amount of trust,' she told the Los Angeles Times in April 2024.
'I will just go places and align with people and go, "Here I am. I'm yours. We'll live and die together."'

In the interview, she also honed in on how she acted out the grief her character was going through while the director talked about how he made to make 'daily script changes and improvisations' as the scenes they had initially written were 'beyond the abilities of the young actor, playing the boy.'
When the interviewer called the movie 'strange' and 'unsettling,' Kidman responded: 'I don't find it strange but maybe that means I'm strange.
'But I never found it strange. I found it profound, the way it deals with grief and how people will fill holes to explain things, needing to explain things and then being incredibly open to all possibilities when you're in a deeply vulnerable state.
'And also, the idea that grief isn't finite because it most definitely isn't. Grief never ends. And you see it at that scene at the opera. She just releases into believing that it is him, this little boy is her husband. For her, it's the easier path. '

Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn reveals she was diagnosed with pesky skin condition
Jamie Lynn Spears took to Instagram this week to reveal she was diagnosed with a pesky but common skin condition. The 34-year-old actress — whose daughter recently broke her silence on her near death experience — shared three up-close photos of her flawless-looking made up face and made a confession in the caption. 'I wish my skin looked like this in real life,' she wrote, adding, 'I was actually diagnosed with adult acne this year.' She then credited her makeup artist, Amber Crowe, with getting her camera-ready to shoot her Netflix series Sweet Magnolias. 'It's all that movie magic that @ambercrowedoesmakeup whips up to have Noreen looking fresh as a daisy, as well as making JL go to the dermatologist,' she wrote, referencing her character Noreen Fitzgibbons. Jamie Lynn — whose older sister is Britney Spears — wore a green, yellow, and white T-shirt in the trio of selfies snapped while in bed. Amber shared Jamie Lynn's post and added the note, 'I love you, Jamie Lynn!!!' It comes after the former Nickelodeon star's 17-year-old daughter Maddie recently opened up about her scary ATV accident in 2017. At the time, Maddie — whom Jamie Lynn welcomed as teen mom — was just eight-years-old. After flipping the ATV and nearly drowning in their Louisiana pond, she was airlifted to Children's Hospital New Orleans. The youngster spent five days recovering from her injuries, eventually making a full recovery. TMZ later revealed the manufacturers of the Polaris RZR 170 restricted anyone under age 10 from operating the vehicle, meaning it was illegal for Jamie Lynn to have gifted the vehicle to Maddie on her seventh birthday. Using her YouTube platform earlier this month, the high school senior said in a video, 'I was in a coma, and I came back to life, and I'm very blessed. 'So yeah, I've just been very accident-prone. I swear my parents are amazing and they did not do anything to me!' Earlier this month the proud mom praised her daughter, who will attend the University of Southern Mississippi next year. 'I'm so proud of this kid, she never lets anything or anyone sit her down, and sharing her journey through it all hopefully inspires others to never stop going hard for what they want out of life,' the screen star gushed on social media. She added, 'You can work so hard, and do everything right, yet still face adversity, no matter what path you're on in life. You can't control everything that happens to you, but you can decide how you react to what happens to you. 'I know being a resilient person is one of the best qualities a human can have, but it's only earned by having no other choice but to be resilient. Gotta trust God's plan.' In addition to Maddie, Jamie Lynn shares seven-year-old daughter Ivey, whom she shares with husband Jamie Watson. Maddie has eschewed her biological father Casey Aldridge's last name in favor of her stepfather's surname.

Katy Perry's surprise romance update after THOSE Justin Trudeau dating rumors
Katy Perry is reportedly not interested in jumping back into a relationship following the recent end of her nine-year, an on-and-off romance with Orlando Bloom. Two months after publicly confirming the end of her engagement to the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, a source told People that the pop star, 40, is focusing on raising their daughter Daisy Dove, four, and her Lifetimes Tour. 'Katy isn't looking to date right now,' the insider explained. 'She's still in the middle of a tour; she's a single mom and navigating some major personal changes.' The claim comes just weeks after she sparked romance rumors with former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. In July, the pair were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon in Montreal, where they enjoyed cocktails and several different dishes, including one featuring lobster. Earlier this week, a source told that 'Justin wasn't thrilled about the pictures getting out' of their first date. 'It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted,' the insider said. 'Katy didn't seem to care nearly as much, but he was the one who was bothered. It didn't chase him away or anything, but it wasn't ideal.' Just two days after the pictures emerged, Trudeau's shyness seemed to have faded when he accompanied his daughter, Ella-Grace, to Perry's concert in Montreal. Standing in full view of fans, he was spotted singing and dancing along to her greatest hits, including Firework and Dark Horse. While Trudeau could have opted for a more discreet location, he watched the concert - a stop on Perry's Lifetimes Tour - from visible risers near the stage. 'Here's the thing, if you're going to be with Katy, you have to deal with the paparazzi and the fallout,' the source said. 'I don't know how prepared he was for that. It can be a lot and it can be overwhelming.' Perry and Trudeau were texting almost nonstop in July, but, according to our insider, their communication has naturally waned in the past two weeks. 'She's busy, he's busy,' they said. 'They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off. But there's nothing negative about it. They just aren't in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off. 'They still have nothing bad to say about each other, and in fact I feel like she's been saying really nice things about him.' 'Katy isn't looking to date right now,' the insider explained. 'She's still in the middle of a tour; she's a single mom and navigating some major personal changes' (pictured in 2025) The Canadian politician shocked the world in 2023 when he announced his separation from his wife of nearly 20 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. He has gone on several dates since the split - but not with anyone as high-profile as Perry. Perry and Bloom announced their split earlier this summer, insisting that they would continue to focus on co-parenting their four-year-old daughter, Daisy. But despite the sexy singles' seemingly intimate dinner and subsequent concert, a second source told the Daily Mail at the time that their rendezvous was never anything serious. 'Katy and Justin are treating their get together as just that: a get together,' they said. 'She hasn't told anyone it was anything more, and she usually wears her heart on her sleeve, so if something were happening, she'd let her close friends know. But right now it is nothing more than friendship. 'Could that change? Obviously. But the ball is in Katy's court right now - no relationship so far.' Following her split from Bloom, Perry's rep confirmed to that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' She previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012.

Net-A-Porter founder accuses her ex of living double life of 'rampant' drug use, prostitutes and affairs in bombshell $71m lawsuit
Fashion queen Dame Natalie Massenet has accused her ex-partner of being a 'sex addict' who lived a double life of 'rampant' drug use, prostitutes and multiple affairs in a devastating lawsuit. Bombshell court papers allege the life of the British-American founder of Net-a-Porter fell apart in May after she claims Erik Torstensson confessed to being a 'liar, drug addict, alcoholic and sex addict'. In the civil case launched yesterday in California, the former chairman of the British Fashion Council, 60, was said to have been left 'heartbroken' after discovering his betrayal had spanned much of their 14-year-relationship. She claims to have 'spent more than $95 million during the course of their relationship on expensive properties, lifestyle expenses, vacations, and more based on Torstensson's promises to repay her in kind'. The Swedish entrepreneur, 47, faces accusations he used his now-ex-partner for 'social clout' and she was left 'cash-strapped with his child'. 'As soon as he had finished spending Massenet's money, he left,' the papers say. As the pair weren't married, the complaint seeks damages for breach of contract, fraud, and infliction of emotional distress. Lawyers for Dame Natalie wrote: 'While Massenet is emotionally devastated and in shock caused by Torstensson's outrageous behaviour, this is a case of a return on investment in a man who leveraged Massenet's capital and brand to build wealth, while she bore the majority of the costs. 'Massenet is demanding what any investor would – a fair, equitable return on the investments she made, value she created, and costs she carried.' Mr Torstensson, founder of denim brand Frame, is yet to file a response to the claim lodged with the Superior Court of Los Angeles. Trouble first arose, it is said, in 2024, when the ex-fashion journalist noticed Mr Torstensson was disappearing at night and drinking heavily. She later found a bottle of Valacyclovir, which he said was to treat hives but she learnt was to treat herpes, her case says. Despite starting relationship counselling, Mr Torstensson's behaviour was said to have deteriorated, and things came to a head when he said he wanted to end their relationship. According to the filings, Dame Natalie discovered this May that he had been living a 'secret life for many years'. She allegedly found explicit messages and photographs showing her partner had 'maintained multiple affairs with several younger women for years'. One was said to be someone the dame knew. When confronted, Mr Torstensson was said to have confessed he was a 'liar, an alcoholic, a drug addict, a sex addict and that it had gone on for seven years'. Her team also claim Mr Torstensson hired prostitutes and used drugs including cocaine in Los Angeles, London and New York while travelling for work – with the papers including texts allegedly sent between him and a drug dealer. One sex worker was said to have been hired days after the couple celebrated their son's embryo being implanted with a surrogate. On another occasion, Mr Torstensson allegedly texted a woman he was sleeping with during a family trip, telling her he was 'in hell'. The papers claim the Swede targeted the entrepreneur to forge a 'path toward power, influence and a better life' in 2009 when he had nothing. The case alleges Torstensson 'seduced' her to gain 'social clout' which he used to 'rack up investment and equity positions worth hundreds of millions of dollars'. He is also said to have used the businesswoman, who was made Dame by the Queen in 2016, to access A-listers such as David and Victoria Beckham, who he convinced to promote Frame. The documents claim Mr Torstensson had encouraged Dame Natalie – who drove a Smart Car and flew in economy despite her net worth – to live more lavishly despite his own 'pocketbooks being dry'. 'He was set on indulgences like first class or private airfare because he openly cared about outward appearances and yearned to be viewed as powerful in society,' the case says. The couple were said to have agreed she would front the costs for their lives – including the purchase of properties – and invest in Mr Torstensson professionally. In return, Dame Natalie would share in the eventual returns from his business ventures. Yet, once cash began to come in, Mr Torstensson was said to have diverted it to 'rent flashy private planes and art to impress his peers, rather than make good on his promises'. 'Eventually, Torstensson's lies were revealed as just that,' the 27-page claim states. 'All the while, Torstensson had schemed to defraud Massenet out of her hard-earned money and convince her to use her influence and finances to promote and endorse Torstensson publicly and privately under false pretences. 'When the romantic relationship ended because of his duplicity, and as her cash ran out, he cut Massenet out of any potential earnings from her significant investment in Torstensson over the last nearly 15 years,' it alleges. Her lawyers say the self-made entrepreneur has 'suffered severe emotional distress', forced to undergo intensive therapy and had to take weeks off work. They further claim Mr Torstensson 'is completely refusing to honour' his promises and denies owing her anything 'despite the irrefutable evidence that he agreed to do so'.
