"There were elements of me that were afraid": Ryan Phillippe on playing gay teen in 'One Life To Live' in early 1990s
Actor Ryan Phillippe admitted that a part of him was "afraid" when he accepted the role of Billy Douglas on the popular daytime soap opera 'One Life to Live' in the early 1990s, reported People. The character was the first gay teenager in daytime television history. Phillippe played Billy for a year on the show and said it was a "really profound experience" for him. In an interview with People, the actor admitted that he was "afraid" when he was young while accepting the role of a gay character in the series. "I was so young that there were elements of me that were afraid because it was such a different time," Philippe said, adding that people close to him also advised him to turn down the role and discouraged him from accepting the part, as quoted by People magazine. "I think there were some fears associated with the point in time that we were at and it being before so many walls and ceilings have been broken in that regard. But I know that any fears that anyone had about me doing it immediately went away once I saw the reaction that it got from the people who viewed it," said Philippe as quoted by People magazine. However, despite the fear, the actor chose the role that rewarded him handsomely. Phillippe was widely loved by the fans of the show and the people of the LGBTQ+ community. In an interview with People, the actor said that the feedback from 'One Life to Live' viewers about his role as Billy was "almost instantaneous," as fan mail started pouring in. ' He remembers hearing from fans who had "never seen someone represent me in any entertainment before in my life." Phillippe would also get mail from parents saying: "Watching this show on my lunch break gave me a way to connect with my LGBTQ child," reported People. "And I was only 17 years old, so you don't really have a sense of that. It was such a different time, but I very much matured through having had that experience and seeing the impact that it had for others," added Phillippe as quoted by People.

Bhairavam public reviews: Manchu Manoj Kumar, Nara Rohit shine; fans criticise weakly written screenplay
Nara Rohit, Manchu Manoj Kumar, and Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas starrer Telegu movie hit the silver screen on Friday and garnered praise from all over. The movie—directed by G. Krishna Iyer—is a remake of the 2024 Tamil hit Garudan. Following its release, its reviews on X (formerly Twitter) ranged from praise for Manoj and Rohith's performances to criticism for the film's story. Both actors Manoj and Nara notably received compliments for their strong performances. Returning to the silver screen after a gap of eight years has not changed anything specific for Manoj, as his performance was largely praised by many. One X user wrote, '#Bhairavam movie Mamulga Ledhu ra Babu. #Bellamkonda anna rugged acting #NaraRohith calm and powerful acting and #ManchuManoj anna acting peaks come back movie. (Bhairavam movie is so good. Bellamkonda is rugged, Nara Rohith acted calm and powerfully, Manchu Manoj's acting is peaks in comeback film).' Another wrote, 'Manoj Rampage Performance After 9 Year's. The Chill Guy Is Back Finally. Superb Movie #Bhairavam Manchi Emotions Unnayi Must Watch Movie. (Manoj's performance was rampage. The chill guy is finally back with a superb film. Bhairavam has such good emotions).' A third fan praised Manoj and the director, writing, '@DirVijayK Utilised Three Heroes Tremendously. Manchu Manoj Steels The show. Excellent fights, Good Music. Hit Movie.' One wrote, 'perfect mix of youth, mass, and intensity. 3 young heroes ni baga present chesina @DirVijayK ki hats off! (3 young heroes were presented well, so hats off to Vijay) @BSaiSreenivas in Jathara scene – pure goosebumps. BGM and fights – next level stuff!' According to few fans, the movie's story could've been better. One X user wrote, 'The greatest trick ever pulled off by the Devil is making us believe that the Devil is the real GOD. This holds true in the case of #Bhairavam, where the battle for Dharma and Kurukshetra is referenced in the wrong context and feels completely out of place. In today's times, remakes rarely work, and this weakly written screenplay completely fails to deliver.' Another wrote, '#Bhairavam background score is terrific. Though the core concept is solid #Bhairavam falters in it's execution for most telugu commercial cinema-making, over the top performances by actor's makes it an AVERAGE watch..30 mins into 1st half is the only good part.' One called it 'below average' due to Sreenivas' 'overaction', writing, '#Bhairavam #bhairavamreview The film felt below average overall. Manoj and Nara Rohit gave strong performances, but Bellam Anna's overacting and the excessive action scenes overshadowed the drama. The story had potential, but the fights should've been minimized.' The movie tells the story of two friends, Varadha (Nara Rohith) and Gajapathi (Manchu Manoj), who have been inseparable since childhood. After a life-altering incident, an orphan, Seenu (Bellamkonda Sreenivas), enters their lives. Following this, cracks begin to form between friends. Their loyalty is tested when a sacred temple's land becomes the bone of contention.
