Hollywood acting titan with links to Brad Pitt looks unrecognizable on very rare public outing
This Hollywood icon is one of the most beloved actors in history with a glittering resume to his name.
He is an Academy award nominee and is known for his long association with Martin Scorsese.
The star, now 86, typically plays brooding, 'tough guy' characters - including turns in Thelma & Louise, Taxi Driver and The Piano - and looked worlds away from his slick look as he sported flowing white locks.
He also stole the screen in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
The reclusive star was snapped celebrating Father's Day with his family in Malibu.
So can you guess who this Hollywood titan is?
It's Harvey Keitel! He enjoyed a rare public outing with his wife Daphna Kastner on Sunday for Father's Day.
The adorable couple, who have been married since 2001, were spotted strolling
Harvey looked sharp in a cream blazer and slacks as he strolled in the sun.
The love birds share one son together, Roman, who was born in 2004.
In addition to Roman, Harvey has two other children from previous relationships: Stella, born in 1985 with actress Lorraine Bracco, and Hudson, born in 2001 with Lisa Karmazin.
The family currently resides in New York City, where they maintain a relatively private life away from the public eye.
In 2021, Harvey shared the story of how he met Daphna over 20 years ago, revealing that his good friend Robert De Niro played a pivotal role in their introduction.
'I met my wife in Rome at a party for Robert,' Keitel said of their first meeting in the 80s on The Late Show.
The dapper star was enjoying a family meal for Father's Day
'She allowed me to take her to dinner at the [Dal Bolognese Roma]. Then I called her back again a second night. She came and we had dinner together a second night.
' And then I asked her if she would like a drink in my hotel room — and she said, "No, thank you." And I spent a lot of money on her. It was a good restaurant,' he added, with a laugh.
Harvey then said that after their initial meeting, he didn't see Daphna again for 17 years until they reconnected at another party hosted by De Niro.
'And there was this girl who I bought two dinners for at the Dal Bolognese 17 years ago and it was my wife, Daphna. And we stayed together.
'And seven weeks later, I was going to a film festival in Italy and I asked her to come with me. She said 'yes.'
'And on the flight, I said, 'What do you think about getting married?' She gave a great answer: she said, "OK."'
He concluded, 'The topper was, we get pregnant about a year later, and our son is born on Robert De Niro's birthday.'
Harvey can currently be seen in the Peacock series The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on the eponymously entitled novel,

Trump's military parade was more of a kitsch day out than a dictator's display
S ome feared that Donald Trump's military parade would bring a touch of North Korea to the nation's capital. The sight of tanks rolling into the city in the same week the president deployed the troops to quell protests and delivered a deeply political speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg did little to alleviate those fears. But when the day came, it was something closer to a medium-sized town's July 4th celebration. There were families, picnics, bad weather and small crowds. There were no 20-foot missiles or long lines of intimidating military hardware. The sparse crowds that did turn out were instead treated to a history lesson about the U.S. Army to celebrate its 250th birthday (it also happened, by pure coincidence, to be Trump's 79th birthday). Some people feared the Washington, D.C., military parade would feel like something from North Korea. Instead it felt like a July 4 event. (EPA) As a regiment or unit would parade by, a voiceover told the crowd its history, and that same booming voice would intermittently follow up with a word for a sponsor. 'With thanks to our sponsor, Lockheed Martin,' the voice said after a touching tribute to the 1st Cavalry Division. Next, the same voice thanked the crypto platform Coinbase. Somewhere in the field behind, an energy drink company co-owned by Dana White, a friend of the president, was handing out free cans with the words 'screamin' freedom' on the front.

(Getty Images) The darker military parades that have become synonymous with tyrannical regimes around the world don't take breaks for corporate sponsors, nor do they sell pretzels, or have cooling tents. As Trump's favorite crooner Lee Greenwood took to the stage at sundown to sing 'God Bless the U.S.A,' the event took on a feel closer to Las Vegas than Pyongyang. More kitsch than threatening. But this event was more political than many Americans will be comfortable with. And even those who couldn't criticize the occasion doubted Trump's motives. 'This is the kind of thing that Stalin would have done. This is the kind of thing North Korea does. It sickens me that we're putting on this display just for one man's ego,' said Donna Stork, 73, who came from Hagerstown, Maryland, to protest. 'I have no problems with the Army having a celebration,' she said. 'What I do have a problem with is the implication that this is more about Trump and military might than it is about the 250th anniversary of people who fought and died for our country.' Members of the U.S. Army participated in the 250th birthday parade - which featured messages from corporate sponsors.

(POOL/AFP via Getty Images) Paul Scott, a Trump supporter who came from Dallas with his wife to watch the parade, did not appreciate the comparisons. 'You're a part of the tired media. We are exhausted with you,' he said. 'Go yell at everybody you want to yell at. We love hearing that you personally think that Donald Trump is North Korea's dictator. You're insane, not me.' Tanks, armored personnel carriers and artillery rumbled down Constitution Avenue, a rare sight in the U.S., which has rarely in modern history had to prove its military strength to anyone. Trump's parade was planned long ago, but it happened to come at the end of an eventful week in which the president trampled norms and tested laws governing his control of the U.S. military. He dispatched troops to Los Angeles to handle relatively minor protests and threatened to do the same to cities across the country. He gave a deeply politicized speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg, during which he criticized political opponents to the cheers of the enlisted behind him. After all that, Saturday's parade seemed like a relatively tame use of the world's most powerful military force. For many, though, especially veterans, it was a chance to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and to receive thanks for their own service. 'I retired from the Army 30 years ago and I came to honor all the people that came before me, all the friends that I've lost,' said Van Beal, 70, who first joined the Army in 1978, 'and just to be here because it's only going to be one 250th, so it's a wonderful opportunity.'

Doctor to plead guilty to ketamine distribution in Matthew Perry case
June 16 (Reuters) - A California doctor charged in the overdose death of "Friends" star Matthew Perry has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of illegal distribution of the drug ketamine, according to a court filing on Monday. Salvador Plasencia faces up to 40 years in prison, according to a statement from prosecutors. Perry died at age 54 in October 2023 from acute effects of ketamine and other factors that caused him to lose consciousness and drown in his hot tub, according to a December 2023 autopsy report. The actor had publicly acknowledged decades of substance abuse, including during the years he starred as Chandler Bing on the hit 1990s television sitcom "Friends."
