‘Mamma Mia!' star reveals the ‘special' advice Norman Lear gave him before his death
Sometimes, the right words come at exactly the right time. The 'Mamma Mia!' star Juan Pablo Di Pace is revealing the advice Norman Lear gave him before the late screenwriter's death in 2023 at age 101. Lear is credited as an executive producer on Di Pace's upcoming film 'Before We Forget.' In addition to starring in the movie, Di Pace also co-wrote and co-directed it. 7 Di Pace stars in, wrote and directed the upcoming film 'Before We Forget.' Getty Images 7 Lear is credited as an executive producer on Di Pace's 'Before We Forget.' AP 'In the process of editing, I remember there were all these opinions flying around,' Di Pace, 45, exclusively told The Post. 'He point-blank said to me, 'Listen, Juan Pablo, you and Andrés [Pepe Estrada] should do the film you want to make. Don't listen to anyone. Because at the end of the day, it's your legacy, and it's your film.' Pepe Estrada, editor of the 2022 Oscar-nominated international feature 'Argentina, 1985,' wrote and directed the flick alongside Di Pace. The 'Fuller House' actor explained that he and Pepe Estrada were introduced to Lear through Brent Miller, another executive producer on 'Before We Forget.' 7 Di Pace plays the older version of Matias in 'Before We Forget.' Act III Productions 'It was an incredible thing to be walking alongside Andrés with the blessing of Norman Lear,' Di Pace said. He added that Lear was a 'really wonderful presence' and said the advice the 'All in the Family' creator gave him 'changed [his] whole perspective of the process.' 'That might be a simple thing to hear, but coming from him — and especially when you are doing a piece that is so personal and that you want it to have your voice — for a debut, first-time director, it was very special to hear it from him,' Di Pace concluded. 7 Di Pace is known for his roles in 'Fuller House,' 'Mamma Mia!' and 'A.D.: The Bible Continues.' Di Pace is known for his role as Fernando, Kimmy Gibbler's on-again, off-again lover, in 'Fuller House.' He also portrayed Jesus in NBC's 'A.D.: The Bible Continues,' Petros in the first 'Mamma Mia!' film, and he finished fifth on Season 27 of 'Dancing with the Stars.' The actor-turned-director makes his feature debut with 'Before We Forget,' a nostalgic, years-spanning story of queer first love. 7 Di Pace played Fernando, Kimmy Gibbler's on-again, off-again love, in 'Fuller House.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Di Pace portrayed Jesus in NBC's 'A.D.: The Bible Continues.' Joe Alblas/LightWorkers Media/NB Di Pace plays the older version of Matias, a filmmaker struggling to complete a movie inspired by his first love, Alexander, a Swedish boy he met at boarding school. Lear was lauded for his contributions to LGBTQ+ storytelling during the inaugural Pride LIVE! Hollywood festival last month. During a tribute panel featuring several of his former collaborators, 'Clean Slate' co-creator Dan Ewen described Lear as 'that rare magic that happens when a great humanist is also in charge of some s–t.' 7 Lear was recently celebrated for his contributions to LGBTQ+ storytelling. Getty Images 'What Norman never lost was the purest curiosity about mankind I've ever come across. 'What's next for mankind? What are the conversations mankind needs to have?'' Ewen said. 'And when someone like that is in a situation to have those conversations and convey those conversations in aggregate to a wonderful number of people, that's where magic happens.' 'Before We Forget' is set for theatrical release in New York on July 11, Los Angeles on July 18 and additional markets on July 25.

Weight's been lifted: Demon's family bring smile back
Utterly unrecognisable from the tortured figure of the French Open press room, Alex de Minaur was all smiles back at Wimbledon after his first win for five long weeks, declaring he felt like a weight had been lifted from him. And his businesslike opening-round victory over Spanish grinder Roberto Carballes Baena in the late-morning sunshine felt extra-special for the Australian No.1, as he enjoyed the rare treat of having his family at courtside cheering him on. De Minaur's 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-2) win was his first since he defeated Serbian Laslo Djere in the opening round at Roland Garros at the end of May. A couple of days later, the shock capitulation to Alexander Bublik from two sets up followed, leaving him offering up the unexpected public declaration of how mentally burnt out he felt. After a break, he returned, only to lose his first match at Queen's Club, and had since played only one exhibition affair last week as his main Wimbledon warm-up match. But he swore the sabbatical had done him good. "It felt like there was not as much pressure on myself. I just went out there, and my focus was on doing a job," he said. Dominant Demon's winning moment 🇦🇺#Wimbledon | @alexdeminaur — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 1, 2025 "I knew that going in, I was in a really good head space, and I was hitting the ball really well, so it kind of gave me a sense of calmness. "I didn't feel like I was playing with a lot of weight. So it was great, because this match had a bit of everything. It had some really good tennis from my side in the first two sets, then he lifted the level and I was in some tough moments, which I was able to play through. "Then at the end I ended up raising my level when I most needed it and played a very clutch kind of tiebreak, going after the ball." Asked whether this signalled a potential return to top form, de Minaur, who reached the quarter-finals against Novak Djokovic last year only to suffer a season-compromising hip injury while winning his fourth-round match against Arthur Fils, said: "Whether I'm back to my best, I can only show that by playing the tennis. "At least I know that I'm in a good spot to perform. I'm going to give myself the best chance to perform." The 11th seed was also buoyed by having his Spanish mother Esther, and his younger siblings Daniel, Cristina and Sara at courtside, as well as fiancee Katie Boulter making a brief appearance. "My mum has definitely started travelling a little bit more frequently, and she tries to make most of the slams," said de Minaur. "My siblings, it's a little bit more of a rarer occasion that they come out. Obviously this is probably the first time this year they're all together. So the whole family is out here, which is pretty cool and pretty special. This definitely feels like a second 'home' slam for me." He's not looking too far ahead, with a potential fourth-round meeting with Djokovic in the offing, as he has a handful with his next opponent, Arthur Cazaux, a French qualifier who knocked out one de Minaur's contemporaries from junior days, Adam Walton. "Arthur's obviously very talented. He's had some big scalps before, and coming through quallies, he's playing with a lot of confidence. It's going to be another battle," said de Minaur.
