Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents lands huge movie role – can you guess who she is?
A nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stunned on the red carpet this week - but can you guess who she is ? The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother and is set to have a huge role in an upcoming Hollywood film. 5 5 Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week. The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor. The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery. If you haven't already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker. Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker. Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney's classic live-action Dumbo. She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO's hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon. The film is set to release in the UK on June 9. The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick. This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV's Lorraine, and revealed how "supportive" they were about her career. "My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set," she said. "And I think that what's lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it's much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you. "So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that. 5 "And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go." Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world. She said: 'Having a mother and father in the industry… she's been on endless sets. It's not that she takes it for granted, but it's not a world that she feels she's not entitled to be in. '(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can't stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out. 'I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,' she added. 5

Billy Joel says 'I'm not dying' after cancelling tour due to brain condition
The music legend's Murrayfield Stadium gig was due to take place on June 6, but was cancelled along with the rest of Joel's tour due to his health. Billy Joel was forced to cancel his entire 2025 tour, having been diagnosed with a brain disorder known as normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). The star was due to take the stage at Murrayfield Stadium on June 6, a gig which had previously been postponed to give him time to recover from surgery. The 'Uptown Girl' singer has been diagnosed with NPH, which is a condition that causes a build-up of fluid in the brain. The 76-year-old's team shared a statement with fans on May 23, apologising for the cancellation of his tour. It said that his brain condition"has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.' And the singer added: "I am sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience and thank you for understanding.' However, since then the star has been quiet, and was notably absent from the screening of his new documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' last Wednesday, June 4, at Tribeca Film Festival. Despite his absence, he relayed a message to the crowd through the film's co-director, Susan Lacy. 'We know Billy wishes he were here tonight, and he asked us to convey that to you all. "In fact, he said, 'Getting old sucks, but it's preferable to getting cremated,'' Lacy told the audience, reported Deadline. He also assured his fans that 'he will be back.' The two founders of Tribeca Film Festival- Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal- also acknowledged Joel's health condition and absence. Rosenthal said: 'Billy wanted to be with us tonight, but as you may have heard, he's dealing with a health issue and had to postpone his performances, including this one tonight. "We know you will join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.' De Niro added: 'He's our piano man, a wonderful, integral part of the heartbeat of our city. "Tonight, we get to see the man behind the music and behind the legend. You're in for a real treat.' According to outlet NJ, radio host Howard Stern recently had a conversation with Billy Joel, in which the star urged him to let fans know that he 'is not dying'. During a recent episode of The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM, Stern discussed a recent dinner he had with Joel. Stern said: 'He does have issues. But he said to me- so I'm not saying anything crazy- 'Yeah, you can tell people: I'm not dying.' He wants people to know that. "He's got to deal with some medical stuff. But he was delightful. We had a great time with the wives. Billy's doing okay.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

EXCLUSIVE Gemma Collins reveals why 'you couldn't pay her' to go back to Spain and the surprising budget hotel chain she's a fan of
Despite Gemma Collins famously spending many a holiday in 'Marbs' - aka glitzy Spanish resort Marbella, the reality TV star says she's now more than ready to bid 'adios' to Spain for good. Why? The 44-year-old admits that after years of partying on the Costa del Sol with her The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) co-stars, the destination has lost its shine. 'You couldn't pay me to go to Spain,' she says. 'It's like popping to London, I do it so much. It's not a vibe for me, I wouldn't waste my time going there.' She's done with tapas too, adding: 'I just couldn't eat another prawn pil pil if you paid me.' And while she does maintain a soft spot for Benidorm, calling the Costa Blanca tourist resort 'fun', there's another country that she's fallen head over heels in love with. Italy, she swoons to MailOnline Travel, is her all-time favourite destination, describing the hilltop town of Taormina in Sicily as the 'most stunning place on earth'. Gemma visited long before series two of HBO's The White Lotus was filmed there - but has returned since the series shone a spotlight on it, checking in at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, where much of the action on the show takes place. She explains: 'I went back [after the series aired] and it was full of lovely American people. But I was like, honey, I'm here for the pasta!' Venice is another of Gemma's top destinations: 'For me, it's absolutely spectacular. You will just not get over the amazing architecture, you've never seen nothing like it! 'It's just so cultured, everything is so beautiful. The food, the people, the history. But take money for the water taxis, they're not cheap!' And while she admits that she once spent £40,000 on a holiday to Greece for her family, where they ate 'lamb chops and halloumi like it was going out of fashion', the reality star claims she's equally happy on a £400 break. 'Sometimes I just want a beach, a little taverna to the left of my eye, a cold lager and a dip in the sea. You don't always need the frills and spills. 'It's like when people say to me "Do you want a lobster roll sandwich?" I'm like, "no, just give me some cheese, please". Sometimes you just want normal, nice and basic.' She's a fan of Premier Inn too - 'you can pick a pillow!' - and says that she prides herself on being 'a diverse traveller'. 'I like so many different things depending on the trip. Travelling for me doesn't need to be super expensive.' But when it comes to packing - and picking up a few souvenirs - Gemma doesn't tend to hold back. She explains: 'I'm known to collect on my travels. My partner goes absolutely mad. I don't think women should carry their own cases. He gets fed up of carrying the bags. Taormina's Four Seasons Hotel San Domenico Palace (pictured) provided the backdrop for The White Lotus, and Gemma says she loves checking in to the luxury property 'Once I went to Mykonos with two cases and then I ended up with 11. I just went crazy out there.' The star was unable to take all 11 cases on the plane at the airport so treated a friend to a three-night stay on the Greek island and he arranged for the return of the rest of the bags. Although holidays for Gemma are all about the people she's with, she says she's also had 'beautiful' experiences travelling solo. 'It's just so empowering to be a solo traveller. Obviously it's daunting at first and it can be scary. [But] there's so much liberation when you've done the trip. 'I often go to restaurants on my own. It's just nice to have some peace and quiet sometimes.' Any wonder then, with her down-to-earth attitude and fun-loving nature, she's been crowned the celebrity that Gen Z would most like to go out on a night out with, in a new survey by Trainline. The feeling's mutual; Gemma's also a fan of Gen Z, saying she'd have liked to have been one herself: 'Big up to all the Gen Zs. I think they're fun. 'I'm always down for new energy and new vibrancy and I think Gen Z just do it perfectly.' Describing herself as a 'ball of energy', she says a night out on the town starts the 'minute she wakes up'. 'It's the group chats. The voice notes. I'm thinking about what I'm going to wear...' Although the self-proclaimed diva is known for her glam looks, she's no stranger to getting ready in the back of the car or on the train. 'Because of the nature of what I do, I've got ready in toilets and in petrol stations,' says Gemma. 'On a train journey, you've got the whole of the journey to get ready. [I think] let's just do the glam on the train!' Of course, being 'The GC' means that it can be a challenge for Gemma to fly under the radar. She doesn't mind being recognised though and likes to make time to say hello to fans when she's spotted. 'I've been known to stand at the ice cream van and just get people a load of ice creams,' she says. Any fans hungry for a 99 cone from Gemma might want to head to Devon where the star is travelling by train later this summer. Where else is on her travel wish-list? India, where she says she'd love to spend 'three months exploring'. And while Gemma would also be up for a U.S. road trip in the future, Gen Z's favourite diva definitely won't be getting behind the wheel on those ten-lane freeways. 'I would need a driver. I want to relax along the way, take in the sights, make a few calls, touch up my lip gloss...' Gemma has teamed up with Trainline to launch Slaystation, a one-stop stop for pre-night out glam.
