'Chasing Liberty' Heartthrob Resurfaces at 47 for Rare Public Appearance
For the red carpet event, held in London, England, Goode wore a grayish-green shirt underneath a black suit. Goode also sported a pair of black dress shoes. The actor opted to wear his dark hair in a voluminous style.
Goode mentioned being uncomfortable in public settings during a December 2023 interview on The TODAY Show, while promoting his film Freud's Last Session. He said, "just because you work on camera doesn't mean that you actually like to" be the center of attention. He also said he would prefer to spend time with his three children, whom he shares with his wife Sophie Dymoke, than promoting his projects.
"It's easier to play a part and the rest of the time, I just want to be at home with the kids," said Goode during the interview.
During the interview, Goode spoke about co-starring with Anthony Hopkins while filming Freud's Last Session. He said he was excited to work with Hopkins, as the Academy-Award-winning actor has been his long-time idol.
"My childhood hero is Tony Hopkins. So that was a massive draw," said Goode.
Goode also said that Hopkins exceeded his expectations during their time together. According to Goode, Hopkins was friendly and had a relaxed demeanor.
"He just came up to us and said, 'Call me Tony.' ... He was just a dream. And he's just full of energy and he's more engaged than he ever has been," said Goode during the interview on The TODAY Show.

Breaking Down the Ending of Netflix's 'Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Saare Jahan Se Accha. Set in the 1970s, Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians unspools an intense tale of espionage and military strategy, following an Indian counterintelligence officer as he confronts an imminent nuclear threat. Premiering on Aug. 13 on Netflix, the series finds drama in the complex and dangerous workings of intelligence operations, where every step can mean the difference between life and death. By showcasing the intrigue, betrayal, and sacrifice of the agents involved, the series exposes the human cost behind national security. Let's break down the major plot lines in Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians. The conflict between India and Pakistan in Saare Jahan Se Accha is more than a territorial or ideological dispute—it is a race for power. The storyline is inspired by real historical events: since the partition of the British subcontinent in 1947, the two countries have fought wars primarily over the disputed Kashmir province. In the series—which begins in the early 1960s and unfolds in a linear timeline—after two wars within five years, Indian physicist Homi Jehangir Bhabha publicly advocates for India to become a nuclear power. This declaration draws the attention of the CIA, which fears an arms race in the region and begins acting to prevent India from developing its bomb. Indian agent Vishnu Shankar (Pratik Gandhi) discovers that confidential information about Bhabha's trip was leaked to the Americans and tries to prevent an assassination attempt. However, the scientist dies when the plane explodes mid-air in 1966, putting India's nuclear program on hold. This event leads to the creation of a new Indian espionage agency, focused especially on monitoring threats in enemy territories: the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). In Saare Jahan Se Accha, tensions between the countries rise again with the crisis in East Pakistan that triggers the 1971 war. Pakistan is divided, and India claims victory—which is seen as a national humiliation across the border. The prime ministers of both countries sign the Simla Agreement, intended as a peace treaty, but unexpectedly marking the beginning of another conflict. Determined never to lose again, the Pakistani government secretly initiates efforts to acquire its own nuclear bomb, turning the dispute into a silent war of intelligence and strategy. In Episode 3 of the series, it becomes clear that Pakistan is not building its own nuclear reactor from scratch, but buying one from the French manufacturer HGN—a company active in nuclear technology that also helped China become a nuclear power—with components that will enable the production of neutralized plutonium. This material will be converted into weapons-grade plutonium, suitable for nuclear arms manufacture. To curb this threat, Vishnu, now leading R&AW operations in Pakistan, organizes a risky secret mission to intercept a shipment near the port of Gadani, where the cargo is expected to arrive. He is aided by Yasir Abbas, a weapons specialist; Raghuveer Singh, a sniper who served in Kashmir and Tawang; Uday Bhan, an explosives expert; and Sukhbir Singh, an Indian agent undercover in Pakistan posing as a Karachi stockbroker. With heavy military security and constant surveillance, the location is nearly impenetrable but still has vulnerabilities. Vishnu's team infiltrates an abandoned underground tunnel about 800 meters from the port to plant explosives at strategic points, since the trucks carrying the dismantled reactor—split into three loads—will pass directly above it. However, Pakistani soldiers patrolling the area discover the team, leading to a firefight that kills three soldiers. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer don Pakistani army uniforms to execute a new plan: blow up the ship carrying the reactor. Meanwhile, Vishnu heads to a watchtower and Sukhbir sets off in a boat with a backup plan if the others fail to detonate the explosives from inside. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer are killed by Pakistani forces after planting explosives on the cargo, which are then defused. Using a walkie-talkie, Vishnu informs Sukhbir of the situation, and then he initiates his plan. Piloting a boat loaded with explosives toward the ship, Sukhbir exchanges gunfire with the army once they spot him. Despite being wounded, he recovers enough to successfully ram into the ship, resulting in a massive explosion that destroys both vessels. The mission was never supposed to be a suicide operation, but following the failure of the initial plan and the deaths of the specialists, Sukhbir initiated his backup plan. With that, Pakistan loses its nuclear reactor. At the start of Saare Jahan Se Accha, several spies from the CIA, Mossad, and KGB are uncovered and killed in Pakistan, as well as intermediaries assisting India. However, the most prominent characters involved in the R&AW mission die beginning in Episode 3. Naushad Ahmed, a respected senior officer in the Pakistan Army, begins feeding information on Pakistan's nuclear program to R&AW after being blackmailed with photos of his son, Altamash Ahmed, with another boy. Naushad asks his friend Murtaza Malik, head of Pakistan's intelligence agency, to look after his son before said friend shoots him in the head. The three specialists on Vishnu's team—Yasir Abbas, Raghuveer Singh, and Uday Bhan—are killed during the violent confrontation with Pakistani soldiers on the ship. The most poignant sacrifice is that of Sukhbir, whose intentional crash into the cargo ship amounts to a suicide mission. This act ensures the reactor's total destruction as he sacrifices his life for the success of the operation and his country. Vishnu Shankar is the sole survivor of this mission, carrying the memory of his fallen comrades who gave their lives for national security—a silent and invisible gesture to the public. The series' conclusion reinforces the somber tone that permeates the narrative. After the successful mission, Vishnu returns to India but carries the weight of loss and the heavy responsibility of his role. Though Vishnu's mission to sabotage the imminent nuclear threat succeeds, he is already en route to a new assignment in the final minutes of the last episode. The series closes with Vishnu on the India-China border, symbolizing that despite this battle's victory, the intelligence war never ends. Each completed mission is merely a step toward the next, in a relentless fight to protect his country from unseen dangers.

In pictures: ‘Stop Trump' protesters target JD Vance's UK summer trip
JD Vance's U.K. trip has caused a stir, with locals staging a 'Vance not welcome party' on Tuesday after the U.S. vice president's motorcade arrived in the picturesque Cotswolds. "Bullies not welcome here," read one sign, while another called to "make America moral again." Other placards mocked the U.S. official more directly, saying "JD Vance's Netflix password is password" and "JD Vance claps when the plane lands." A meme image featuring Vance with a bald head was printed on balloons and attached to the front of a popular celebratory "caterpillar" cake and displayed on the side of a van. Residents also faced security checks and road closures related to Vance's visit. The White House did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. "The local people of the Cotswolds turned out because they feel very strongly that JD Vance is not welcome here, and they wanted to exercise their freedom of speech," a spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition, which organized the protest, told CNBC on Tuesday. "The atmosphere was, was really wonderful," the spokesperson said. "It was a really joyous festival of resistance." According to the spokesperson, around 80 people attended the event, mostly locals. The protest has garnered widespread social media attention, with users sharing footage and pictures from the event and creating memes about Vance's trip. The U.S. vice president, who is travelling with his wife and children, has previously criticized the U.K, which the spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition said had angered locals. They also pointed to Vance and the U.S. administration's positions on the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza enclave as factors contributing to outrage. See some impressions of the protest here: The Cotswolds is a popular celebrity destination, with former British Prime Minister David Cameron and U.S. TV personality Ellen DeGeneres having a residence in the area. Earlier this year, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris was also spotted in the region, as she reportedly attended the wedding of Eve Jobs, daughter of late Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs. Vance's trip has also included a stay with British Foreign Minister David Lammy in Kent, where the two held a bilateral meeting after a fishing trip. The U.S. vice president is also set to meet further U.K. politicians and travel to Scotland for the next leg of his trip.
