Famous comedian 'escorted out' of Sir Mick Jagger's birthday after incident
Comedian and Celebs Go Dating narrator Rob Beckett has revealed he was 'frogmarched' out of Rolling Stones legend Sir Mick Jagger's 82nd birthday party after a night of heavy drinking. Beckett, 38, scored an invite to the exclusive celebration at Chelsea hotspot The Rex Rooms as the plus one of fellow comic Jimmy Carr. The star-studded guest list included Ronnie Wood, Sacha Baron Cohen, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, and fashion icon Lulu Guinness – but Beckett's rock 'n' roll evening ended in a rather less glamorous fashion. Speaking on The Parenting Hell podcast with co-host Josh Widdicombe, Beckett admitted he'd arrived at the bash already several drinks deep, having spent the earlier part of the evening celebrating at Oasis's long-awaited reunion gig at Wembley Stadium. 'It was a tiny little back room and Mick Jagger was there,' Beckett recalled. 'Obviously, a lot of his ex-wives and children from his ex-wives. There was Mariella Frostrup, someone Guinness – Lulu – this sort of fashion lady who looked like Lady Gaga, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ronnie Wood… It was really nice. They were really chatty and hospitable.' While Beckett briefly greeted the Rolling Stones frontman, he confessed he never struck up a proper conversation with Jagger, who was holding court in a separate room. Instead, he spent time chatting to Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally, all while realising he was becoming far too drunk to hold his own among rock royalty. 'I've had six pints of lager, two espresso martinis, and I'd say a bottle and a half of rosé,' Beckett admitted. 'I'm stood there wearing a Stone Island anorak with a vodka and soda after being on a motorbike, chatting to Ronnie and Sally Wood and Jimmy Carr, and I'm just talking absolute s***.' More Trending Sensing the situation was spiralling, Beckett said he decided to make an exit – but it wasn't exactly a discreet one. 'I got like frogmarched out by four people that were holding on to me,' he laughed. 'Maybe I got kicked out, I don't know! They're walking me out like they're extracting me, like I'm a Rolling Stone and there's 10,000 people trying to grab me.' The party continued without him, but Beckett still remembers the night happily: 'It was one of the best nights of my life,' he insisted, despite – or perhaps because of – his rock 'n' roll-worthy ejection.

Rob Beckett 'frogmarched' out of Mick Jagger's birthday bash after boozy night
Rob Beckett has lifted the lid on what went on during his boozy night at Mick Jagger's birthday party, admitting he was kicked out of the bash and looked after by rocker Ronnie Wood. Rob Beckett has revealed that he was kicked out of Mick Jagger's wild 82nd birthday party last month as he partied with rock legends. Crashing the party as fellow funnyman Jimmy Carr's plus one, Rob was already two sheets to the wind after rocking out at Oasis' Wembley gig, knocking back beer, cocktails and wine, before accepting the last minute invite. Hotfooting it over to a swanky Chelsea nightclub The Rex Rooms, he couldn't believe his luck as he partied with the rock legends. 'It was a tiny little back room and Mick Jagger was there,' he shared. 'Obviously, a lot of his ex-wives and children from his ex-wives. There was Mariella Frostrup. Someone Guinness (Lulu), this sort of like fashion lady. She looked like Lady Gaga. Sacha Baron Cohen. Ronnie Wood." 'It was really nice. They were really chatty and hospitable. The music was quite loud. I said hello to Mick Jagger. I didn't properly chat to him. "Because there was another separate room that had him in it with Sacha Baron Cohen," he continued, talking on the Parenting Hell podcast. Rob isn't the only one who has been letting his hair down. 'And I was chatting to Ronnie Wood and his wife, Sally, who are lovely.' But it all got a bit much for Rob, who started to get the beer fear. 'Then I was like, I'm too p***ed to be here. I was so p***ed. I've had six pints of lager, two espresso martinis, and I'd say a bottle and a half of rose, and just been to the best gig of my life. And I'm stood wearing a Stone Island anorak with a vodka and soda after being on a motorbike chatting to Ronnie Wood and Sally Wood and Jimmy Carr. And I'm just talking absolute s****.' Making a beeline for the door in his drunk state, he was helped on his way by some burly security. 'I got like frog marched out by four people that were like holding on to me,' he laughed. Teased by co-host Josh Widdecombe that he'd been forcibly ejected, he mused: 'Maybe I got kicked out. I don't know! They're walking me out, like they're extracting me, like I'm a Rolling Stone and there's like 10,000 people trying to grab me.' He woke up in the morning to a banging headache and a friendly check in from his new pals Ronnie and Sally Wood. 'They said they wanted to come to a gig!' he squeals. "That was one of the most mental nights of my life.'

Netflix viewers in tears after watching heartbreaking biopic with Hollywood star
Netflix fans have been left in tears after watching The Iron Claw on Netflix, which stars Zac Efron in a role that is worlds away from the Disney Channel film that made him famous Netflix fans have been left in tears after The Iron Claw made its debut on Netflix. The 2023 film stars Zac Efron as wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich, and was released on the streaming platform on Friday, almost two years on from when it first came out in cinemas. The film charts lives of the Von Erich brothers and their careers, and High School Musical star Zac, 37, stars alongside the likes of Jeremy Allen White, Harrison Dickinson, Lily James and Maura Tierney. A synopsis for the sports drama reads: "The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s." Critics were immediately grabbed by the film's premise, with Rolling Stone's David Fear writing: "It's a messy movie about messy lives, occasionally in ways you wish it wasn't. But The Iron Claw is also a story of redemption… That's partially why Efron's performance is the one that sticks with you." It comes as BBC viewers cringe at Kemi Badenoch's 'fields of wheat' moment. READ MORE: Zac Efron looks unrecognisable on set with Phoebe Dyvenor as they hold hands for new film One critic said: "Zac Efron really gives it his all in this heartbreaking wrestling film about the Von Erich family. The biopic details the complexity of the family," whilst another added: "As a wrenching American heartland saga, The Iron Claw is certainly compelling, and to anyone unfamiliar with the Von Erichs' history, each jolt of fresh anguish delivered to the family will be startling. " A third shared: 'The Iron Claw looks and feels like a pre-streaming TV movie – and not just any old TV movie but a strangely entertaining, darkly tragic, completely gripping TV movie." Fans have also been quick to flood social media with their opinions after the film arrived on Netflix. One said: "The ending of the iron claw has just ripped my heart out," and another said bluntly: "Haunting good story, that left me in an emotional wreck. Excellent performance from Zac Efron. Really just hits different." A third said: "Watching the final scene of The Iron Claw and I think someone must have been cutting onions next to me. Seen it like 5 times and it always hits like a punch to the gut." One viewer, who had been particularly moved by the events depicted in the film, said: "The Iron Claw is the saddest fkn film I've ever seen. Who can be happy again after seeing this?! WHO MADE THIS??!!!" and another wrote: "Watching the Iron Claw knowing fully well I would cry but the AMOUNT of crying was underestimated." The film has also caused a stir on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where it has managed to reach a score of 89%. One reviewer said on the famed movie website: "A tragic story, told impeccably well. More wrestling biopics please! Didn't think this would be one of the best films I've seen, really surprised me... No popcorn needed! Maybe just tissues.' An absolutely fantastic film that had to be dialled down to make it believable. Tragic family story that was worse in real life but too unbelievable to put all in the movie.' A second film buff added: "Phenomenal movie. Amazing performances from the actors. I've lost people close to me so I really felt this one. Truly beautiful movie," and a third said: "Wow. Incredible acting from all performers. It's more about family, masculinity, grief, loss, and mental health than wrestling. One of the best movies I've seen in years actually!" Zac previously reflected on his difficult training for the sports flick. He told USA Today: "You think you're getting the hang of it, and you speed up a few times and your confidence gets built up. Then you slam into one of those things just an inch too high and your rib is like gone. You can't breathe for a couple days. I don't know how these guys do it, man ... it's shocking that first time you do it. You're like, 'This is not as easy as it looks on TV.'" And around the same time, he explained to Deadline: "Nothing could prepare me for the wrestling. The physical preparation and the training, that's something that I've always found very interesting. I've always admired people's transformations, in particular for movie roles. I just find that dedication fascinating and special when I see it. "So in training for this, I got to train essentially for my championship, my belt match. It all came down to, how precise is my training? How dedicated am I to this? How hard can I push? I think I shed a skin somewhere in those seven months where Kevin was really at the wheel. It felt honest, it felt real. "I felt like I was physically there; I felt mentally there, as a direct result of the training, and then from there, the wrestling, surprisingly, was fun."
