There's no major body transformation here, just a slight difference fans picked up on, magnified by the fact that it's his first camp as a married man. And honestly, it could all just be lighting.

Josh Allen's public life has always fascinated fans from his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld to his on-field swagger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!)

Imtiaz Ali defends Shah Rukh Khan's National Award win for Jawan: 'If the country has honoured him...'
In response to the controversy surrounding Shah Rukh Khan's recent National Award win for the movie "Jawan," filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has publicly defended the actor, telling IANS that it was a proud moment while speaking on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai. 'No, no. If the country has honoured him, it's obviously a big thing. I would like to congratulate Shah Rukh Khan and all the people who got this big award. Thank you," he stated, sending his best wishes to each and every recipient. Shah Rukh Khan's performance in the movie "Jawan" earned him his first National Award for Best Actor on August 1. Urvashi, a South actress, started the controversy by quietly casting doubt on SRK's National Award victory. Urvashi pointed to the jury's unfair decisions while accepting the Best Supporting Actress award for "Ullozhukku." She allegedly questioned what made Jawan deserving of Best Actor honors, without specifically mentioning Shah Rukh, while veteran Malayalam actor Vijayaraghavan's stirring performance wasn't even taken into consideration for the lead category. Online discussion was sparked by her comments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will Surprise you Undo However, some internet users were shocked to understand that Shah Rukh Khan had won the National Award for "Jawan," wondering why it had taken him 33 years to receive this honor. Many noted that he was not given credit for some of his most famous roles in movies like "Devdas," "Swades," "Veer Zaara," and "Chak De! India." The actor's victory generated discussion regarding the jury's selection criteria and timing. Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna defended Shah Rukh Khan in the face of increasing criticism over the actor's National Award victory. "People who are saying that Shah Rukh Khan should not have received the award for this film (Jawan) but for Swades—remember A. R. Rahman received the Oscar for 'Jai Ho' and not for the various beautiful songs he created in the past," he informed IANS. "Shah Rukh has been working hard for the past 40 years now—so what is wrong if he has received a National Award?"

Lilliput compares SRK's acting in Zero to Kamal Haasan: Not even the dust on his feet
Actor Liliput recently shared his views on Anand L Rai's 'Zero' (2018), which depicted a protagonist with dwarfism. He criticised actor Shah Rukh Khan's portrayal in the film, while comparing his performance to actor Kamal Haasan's acting prowess in 'Appu Raja (1989).In an interview with Red FM Podcasts, Lilliput said, "Someone who is not blind will act like they are blind but for a person who is not a dwarf, how will you act like a dwarf? Because dwarfs are normal, their hand movements are normal, they laugh and think like anyone else, they only look a different way. So how will you act that out? You will make him look smaller technically."advertisement"We know you are good looking and cute so our impression of what you are ends there. We are not looking at a dwarf, we are looking at a hero who has been made to look like a dwarf via visual effects,' he said and asked, 'And what is your script trying to say," the actor went on. While drawing parallels between Khan and Haasan's performances in 'Zero' and 'Appu Raja' respectively, the 'Mirzapur 3' actor said, "You look at Appu Raja's intelligence. Kamal Haasan picked out the details of the physicality of a dwarf person. Dwarfs are a little distorted, their fingers are smaller, a little thicker, arms, face and feet are different so when you are not able to leave an impact, then why are you making it? And how could you think that you would leave an impact?""Kamal ji ki aap copy kar rahe ho, unki acting ki. Charno ki dhool bhi nahi ho aap (You are copying Kamal ji. You imitate his him. And you are not even equal to the dirt on his feet)," he Rukh recently won a National Award for Best Actor for Atlee's 'Jawan'.
