'I love the writer,' González said while revealing she was online pen pals with Reid before Evelyn Hugo. 'We followed each other [on social media] and she would send me all her new books ahead of time, which I was such a fan of. I love Taylor, she's so talented.'
González said she loved that book and found it to be 'incredible,' saying it was 'the biggest honor' that fans are envisioning her for that role.
The Baby Driver alum said that while filming The Fountain of Youth, co-star Natalie Portman told her, 'I can't think of anyone else to do Evelyn Hugo.'
'I was like, 'Natalie Portman is saying that to me,'' González said. 'I don't know if I'll ever get it. It'd be such an honor. And I don't even know what's happening with that project. I love the book. I love all her stuff. I'm a huge fun.'
González also mentioned that she thinks the creators 'did such an amazing job' with the film adaptation of Reid's novel Daisy Jones & the Six, which starred Riley Keough in the titled role.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo tells the story of a fictional old Hollywood star giving a final interview to unknown journalist Monique Grant.
Deadline reported last month that Maggie Betts was set to direct the Netflix film adaptation. Betts will co-write the script with Liz Tigelaar, and Liza Chasin will produce for 3Dot Productions and Brad Mendelsohn for Circle Management + Production.

IPTV USA vs. Streaming Giants: Is IPTV Still Worth It in 2025?
The rise of IPTV USA has sparked debate among American viewers. In a world dominated by streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, where does IPTV fit in? Is it a better choice than the mainstream platforms? In this guide, we'll break down the differences, benefits, and why IPTV may still be the smartest streaming decision in 2025. In fact, according to a recent review by the Jerusalem Post, the top rated IPTV services in the USA are gaining traction due to their flexibility and content variety. While traditional streaming services offer curated content libraries, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live channels — including sports, news, international stations, and video-on-demand — via the internet. This gives IPTV users access to: 24/7 live TV streaming Global content in multiple languages Pay-per-view events Thousands of movies and series Sports coverage not available on Netflix or Prime Unlike Netflix or Hulu, which offer only specific content and require separate subscriptions for live sports or cable-like experiences, IPTV consolidates everything into one powerful platform. With one subscription, you can: Watch CNN, ESPN, FOX, and BBC live Access HBO-style movies and Netflix-like series Use your Firestick, Smart TV, or mobile to stream from anywhere IPTV USA : ~$15/month (including live + VOD) : ~$15/month (including live + VOD) Netflix Premium : ~$20/month (VOD only) : ~$20/month (VOD only) Disney+ + Hulu + ESPN: $13–20/month (still no international live TV) Best IPTV for USA with full content access Xtreme HD IPTV offers a massive channel library, 4K streams, and stable access on Firestick. Whether you want NFL games, UK documentaries, or Bollywood cinema — it's all there. Easy IPTV solution for American families CatchOn TV is designed with usability in mind.

Drew Sidora Reveals She Dated Michael B. Jordan: 'People That Know, Know'
Drew Sidora's latest confession about a past relationship has left many surprised, mostly because it has never been mentioned until now. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently sat down with Carlos King on his Reality with the King podcast, where she dished on her past relationships with Ty Young and Dennis McKinley — while also dropping a bombshell. The Step Up star revealed that she once dated Michael B. Jordan, long before he became the Hollywood heartthrob and talent he is today. 'I dated Michael B. Jordan,' she casually said. 'I never said that out loud publicly, but people that know, know.' Possibly even throwing a little shade at her past lovers, she added, 'I like biceps, not bellies.' And we all know MBJ has that plus more. Drew went on to reminisce about the days when Jordan was still a rising star, back when he was acting on All My Children in the early 2000s. According to Drew, she even attended the NAACP Awards as his date at that time. 'He asked me to be his date to the NAACP awards,' she recalled, adding that they were also friendly with each other's families. 'My sister Allison … he would come over and she would cook for him … I met his mom, and you know it was great.' Drew, however, isn't the only one who has spilled tea about a past Michael B. Jordan romance. Brie Tiesi made headlines in 2023 when she claimed to have been intimate with the Sinners star. During a dinner scene on Netflix's real estate reality show, Selling Sunset, Brie casually flexed, 'I could do that and I've done that,' when asked if she'd sleep with Jordan. Another realtor responded to her claims with, 'I want to live through that vagina right now.' While the world has witnessed Jordan's publicized romance with Lori Harvey, he's kept his dating life under wraps since their public split. The 38-year-old has since made it clear that he's not rushing into anything. 'My next relationship is gonna happen when it's supposed to happen,' he told Rolling Stone in 2023. See Drew Sidora making the romantic revelation above and the full interview below. More from Tom Cruise Says Michael B. Jordan Is "Enormously Talented" And Shares Respect For Ryan Coogler Michael B.

‘Adolescence' Officially Becomes Netflix's No. 2 Most Popular English Series
It's official: Adolescence is now Netflix's No. 2 most popular English-language series of all time. As Deadline predicted last week, the British limited series has comfortably passed Stranger Things 4 to secure the title, amassing 141.2M views since its March 13 debut. There is still about 10 days left in its 91-day premiere window, meaning it'll likely rack up a few more views before its official total is solidified on the Netflix most popular list. More from Deadline 'Baby Reindeer' Legal Battle: Fiona Harvey Pours Scorn On Netflix Claim That "Cheeky Music" Showed Series Was Not Actually A "True Story" Netflix Unveils Premiere Date & First-Look Photo For Rom-Com 'The Wrong Paris' Starring Miranda Cosgrove & Pierson Fodé Netflix Lands Hot Action Comedy Package Teaming Andy Samberg & Jason Momoa It's hard to overstate what a feat Adolescence has achieved here, considering it is a modest, four-episode limited series with no star power attached. The series, about a 13-year-old boy (played by breakout Owen Cooper) accused of stabbing a female classmate to death after being drawn into the online manosphere, managed to generate a powerful word-of-mouth campaign that has allowed it to rival the latest installment of one of Netflix's most popular franchises. As we mentioned last week, Wednesday will retain its crown as the No. 1 English-language series on Netflix with an impressive 252M views in its premiere window. This sets an interesting stage for the arrival of Stranger Things 5, which Netflix revealed over the weekend will premiere in November. It'll be released in three parts, and it's sure to amass a very hefty viewership total by the end of its premiere weekend. When all is said and done, Stranger Things might reclaim the No. 2 spot eventually, not that that makes Adolescence's performance any less impressive. As for the weekly Top 10 from May 26 to June 1, Sirens once again took the top spot and the bragging rights as most-watched title on Netflix with 18.9M views. That's up about 2M views compared to the previous interval, when it debuted to 16.7M. Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders captured 11.9M views in its debut, putting it in second place. Meanwhile, Dept. Q broke out at No. 3 with 6M views. The Four Seasons spent its fifth week on the charts with 2.4M views, while Tyler Perry's She the People and Forever each generated 2.3M. On the film side of things, Fear Street: Prom Queen came in at No. 1 on the English list with 8.5M views. A Spanish crime thriller, A Widow's Game, was No. 1 in film with 15.4M views.
