'The Wire' Actor's Crucial Update After Son, 19, Was Hit by Tornado originally appeared on Parade. Relieving news from The Wire star Tray Chaney: His 19-year-old son is out of the ICU after surviving a tornado that viciously tore through the family's Atlanta home. Chaney, 43, shared the update with TMZ in a new report that was published on Tuesday, June 3. The actor told the outlet that his son Malachai "moved out of the ICU and into a stabilized room earlier today," the site reported. Malachai's new condition is nothing short of a miracle, given that he was "thrown 300 feet out of his room" as the tornado destroyed the family's home last week, Chaney shared on May 30. Chaney also shared a new post on Wednesday, updating fans on Malachai's new hospital plan. "Did 5 Days in ICU," the actor wrote on Wednesday, June 4. "Still gotta remain in the hospital for a whole other process BUT you talking Progress... LIKE YOU MY HERO!" The family man, who portrayed Poot on The Wire from 2002 to 2008, even quipped that Malachai's grandfather is "Standing Over You Praying While You Snore, LOL" Chaney joked, adding several "ZZZ" emojis. "(Malachai gone get me one when he see this) I'm like dad the boy knocked out," the actor quipped. After the devastating wreckage occurred, Chaney took to social media to post an emotional video about his son's terrifying accident and hospitalization. "I lost my house. I lost everything in it. Thank God, I'm still living. I survived a tornado. My son, he survived. I'm doing a video to let everyone know, cherish life," he said in the May 30 Instagram video, which showed him tearing up. "Cherish life as much as you can." The actor, who shares son Malachai with wife Ayesha Chaney, noted, "I wish he was the one doing the video and I was the one in the ICU."

Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman mourn death of 'Parks and Recreation' castmate Jonathan Joss
Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman paid tribute to their "Parks and Recreation" castmate Jonathan Joss following the actor's death this week. Joss was fatally shot in front of his San Antonio, Texas, home on Sunday by one of his neighbors, police said. He was 59. The actor had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit NBC sitcom. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt, who had his breakthrough role as Andy Dwyer in the series, wrote on his Instagram story on Monday. "Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones." Offerman, who starred in "Parks and Recreation" as Ron Swanson, told People magazine on Tuesday that he and other co-stars have been in contact since Joss' death. "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken," Offerman said. "Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy." "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who was not on the sitcom, also paid her respects to Joss. She shared an image of the late actor on Instagram on Tuesday. "Was devastated to learn of the killing last night of the wonderfully talented actor and musician Jonathan Joss, who my family and I enjoyed so much in Parks and Recreation," she wrote. Nixon also repeated claims by Joss' husband that the actor was targeted because of his sexuality. "We will not let this stand," she said. The San Antonio Police Department said in a statement on Monday there was "no evidence" that Joss' killing was motivated by hate, but said the suspect would be charged accordingly "should any new evidence come to light." Conversations with Joss' neighbors and several police reports of prior incidents between Joss and the man arrested for his killing — Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja — paint a complicated picture of what led to the fatal shooting. Joss and Ceja were in a heated back and forth for years that was being mediated by a police crime prevention unit, according to police records and statements shared with NBC News. Ceja could not be reached for comment. The 56-year-old does not have a lawyer, according to the Bexar County District Clerk's Office. In addition to his role on "Parks and Recreation," Joss was also known for his role as John Redcorn in Fox's animated sitcom 'King of the Hill.' The animated series was rebooted and will premiere on Hulu in August, with Joss returning as Redcorn This article was originally published on

2025 French Open: How to watch quarterfinals matches, new channels, full schedule and more
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The second grand slam of the year is ongoing at Roland-Garros this week. The 2025 French Open is already in the quarterfinals. The defending champions, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek have both made it through so far — though notably neither player occupies the top-seeded spot in their respective singles tournaments. Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed in the men's tournament, Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 seed in the women's. American tennis star Coco Gauff is the No. 2 seed on the women's side. In the U.S., coverage of this year's tournament is airing on TNT and truTV, and every match is streaming live on HBO Max. Are you ready to watch the French Open? Here's how to follow all the action down on the clay courts at Roland-Garros.

The 2025 French Open will take place between May 25 and June 8. Singles play begins May 25, with the men's final closing things out on June 8. French Open time difference: Thanks to the time difference between the U.S. and France, the tennis tournament at Roland-Garros will start daily play at 5 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT. 2025 French Open channel: In a shift from last year, the 2025 Roland-Garros tennis tournament will air across TNT and truTV — with all matches streaming on Max (soon to be officially re-named HBO Max).

Advertisement Don't live in either of those places? Don't worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN.

Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out.
