He hit his head at birth and made a dent; inside Brianna Ruffalo's husband Josh Lucas' bizarre full name
Hollywood actor Josh Lucas, best known for Sweet Home Alabama, Yellowstone, and A Beautiful Mind, tied the knot with ABC7 meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo in a dreamy ceremony held inside the Vatican.

But beyond the romantic images and heartfelt captions lies a lesser-known detail about the groom, his unforgettable full name.
While fans know him as Josh Lucas, his full name is Joshua Lucas Easy Dent Maurer, and yes, "Easy Dent" is part of his legal middle name. The reason? It's tied to a rather comical (and slightly painful) story from the day he was born. As Lucas once shared with the Los Angeles Times in 2006, his birth was so fast and smooth that his parents added 'Easy' to his name. But during delivery, the doctor reportedly accidentally knocked the newborn's head against a bedpost, leaving a small dent, hence the second part: 'Dent.' The name stuck, and his parents, who led a nontraditional, countercultural lifestyle, chose to make it official.Josh Lucas began his acting journey at 19 after moving to Hollywood. He appeared in popular TV shows like True Colors, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and Life Goes On, before landing roles in films such as Alive and Father Hood. His career gained momentum with performances in A Beautiful Mind, Glory Road, and Poseidon. Lucas also took on international projects, including a notable role in Australia's Snowy River: The McGregor Saga.
According to The Richest, Lucas has amassed a net worth of $16 million through decades in film and television. Beyond acting, he co-founded Filthy Food with friends Marc and Danielle Singer, showing interest in ventures outside Hollywood.

Who is Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, who was arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old in a hit-and-run case?
A shocking incident has come to light after being captured on CCTV, in which a car allegedly driven by Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap hit a two-wheeler, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old man. The incident happened at Dakkhingaon area in Assam's Guwahati in the early hours of Friday. Nandini was reportedly detained on Tuesday after the youth, Samiul Haque, passed away while undergoing treatment. Her arrest was officially recorded on Wednesday, following which Nandini was produced in court. According to news agency PTI, CCTV footage of the accident showed that not only was she speeding at the time, but did not even stop to check on the victim. Eyewitnesses claimed that she fled the scene immediately. She was, however, chased down and confronted by Samiul Haque's friends. Renowned for her lead role as Surabhi in director Roopak Gogoi's recent box office hit Rudra, Nandini Kashyap is also a prominent figure on social media, with over 52.5K followers on Instagram. According to her Facebook handle, she has been working in the film industry since 2018 as an actor, anchor, model and dancer. Belonging to Guwahati itself, she also goes by the name Nikita. After completing her basic education at Faculty Higher Secondary School, Amingaon, in her native place of Guwahati, she pursued a bachelor's degree at the University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, located at Khanapara. She graduated from the university in 2021. Since 2018, she has been in the public domain and has appeared in a few music videos. However, it was in 2022 that she made her film debut, playing the lead role in the Assamese movie Janaknandini, helmed by her mother Kunjalta Gogoi Das. Also starring Gunjan Bhardwaj, Nrityacharjya Jatin Goswami, Arun Nath, Madhurima Choudhary, Ranjeev Lal Baruah and Rupam Baruh, Janaknandini was produced by Nandinee's parents, director Kunjalata Gogoi Das and husband Rinku Das, themselves. Earlier this year, Nandini Kashyap's career took off as Rudra emerged as a box office success. Also featuring Ravi Sharma, Adil Hussain, Joy Kashyap and Arrchita Agarwaal in key roles, the movie was penned by director Roopak Gogoi. Rudra hit the screens on June 27. Although Nandini is currently in police custody, it is reported that this is not her first involvement in a vehicular offence, the difference this time being that it tragically resulted in the loss of a life. 'Kashyap's vehicle was penalised several times for speeding and many challans were issued in different districts,' Guwahati Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah told PTI.
