Benedict Cumberbatch recalls 'horrific' diet for movie
Benedict Cumberbatch has admitted that it felt "horrific" to eat beyond his appetite as part of his routine for Marvel film Doctor Strange. The London-born film star, 49, known for playing the spell-casting superhero, said he could have fed a family "with the amount of eating" he did, and criticised the film industry for being "grossly wasteful". Speaking on the podcast Ruthie's Table 4, he said: "You have someone who can prescribe you what you're eating and they can cook for you. "We had a fantastic chef on the last Doctor Strange film … but it's this amazing facility to go, 'Right he needs to be on this many calories a day. "He needs to have five meals, he needs to have a couple of boiled eggs between those five meals or some kind of high protein snack, cheese and crackers or almond butter and crackers. Crackers. Lots of crackers.' "For me the exercise is great and the end result is that you feel strong and you feel confident. You hold yourself better, you have stamina through the exercise and the food that makes you last through the gig. "But it is horrific. I don't like it personally, I think it's horrific, eating beyond your appetite … It's just like, what am I doing? I could feed a family with the amount I'm eating. "It just slowly, slowly, you have to meet people where they are on these issues in filmmaking. But it's a grossly wasteful industry. "So let me think about set builds that aren't recycled. Think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. "The amount of wattage you need to sort of create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It's a lot of energy. "So the first people to stick their head above the parapet to talk about anything to do with climate and excessive use of things, or hypocrisy, or systems that don't work, get slammed if they're actors, because they're ferried about." He added: "It is a systemic thing. But as a producer, I'm really hot on that. "I try to push the green initiative, the green handshake into every agreement I can." Cumberbatch is also known for playing Sherlock Holmes in the eponymous award-winning BBC series and won a Bafta TV award for the drama Patrick Melrose, which was based on a series of semi-autobiographical novels by Edward St Aubyn. Ruthie's Table 4 invites a range of notable guests to take a seat at the River Cafe with co-founder Ruth Rogers. This season features conversations with people including Elton John, Bono, Guillermo Del Toro, Kristin Scott Thomas, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and Ian McKellen.

Billy Joel feels 'good' after brain condition diagnosis
Following a diagnosis that revealed he's suffering from a brain condition, US singer Billy Joel has said that he's feeling "good". It comes after the 76-year-old singer cancelled all his scheduled concerts, including a show in Edinburgh and Liverpool, after announcing that he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). The statement shared on Joel's Instagram account in May also revealed that the condition appeared to have been exacerbated by recent performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance. Speaking to Bill Maher on his Club Random Podcast, the veteran singer shared an update on his health, saying that he was feeling "good". He said: "It's not fixed, it's still being worked on. "I feel fine, my balance sucks. It's like being on a boat." According to the NHS website, NPH is an uncommon and poorly understood condition that often affects people over the age of 60 and can be difficult to diagnose as its symptoms include mobility problems and dementia, which are associated with more common conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. He told Maher that he does not know what caused the condition and that, despite not drinking anymore, he thought it might have been caused by that. "They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I am feeling," he added. The New York-born singer is best known for songs including Uptown Girl, Tell Her About It and An Innocent Man and has achieved five UK top 10 singles and eight UK top 10 albums. Since beginning his career in the mid-1960s, Joel has won five Grammy Awards and been nominated for 23, and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame by one of his heroes, Ray Charles, in 1999.

Advertisement So beautiful inside!! Well done TikTok user Social media users were stunned by the caravan's One person said: 'Looks amazing.' Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. Another added: 'Soooooo prettyyyyyyyyy.' A third commented: 'So beautiful inside!! Well done.' Advertisement Meanwhile, someone else simply beamed: 'Love it.'
