Ex-World's Strongest Man threatened to rip driver's '***ing head off' after scaring children outside home
A former world's strongest man threatened a pair of drivers in a furious row outside his house, screaming: 'I'll rip your f***ing head off'.
Eddie Hall, 37, was caught on camera chasing two motorists in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire on Monday at 9pm.
Hall, nicknamed 'The Beast', confronted the drivers who were parked on his street late at night and allegedly refused to leave.
The 37-year-old can be heard shouting that they had upset his children after he shouted 'I'll f**king do you all'.
However, one of the motorists who filmed Hall, said that he was scaring his daughter and could be heard crying in the background.

Hall replied: "9pm at night and you and 2 other cars pull up beeping horns outside the house… You woke my young children up and they became very scared!"

After a video of the incident went viral, Hall claimed the drivers had spent 25 minutes outside his home in Newcastle-under-Lyme before he went outside and that one of them had threatened to knock him out.
Hall said his home is 'not a public attraction", warning other prospective visitors that he is not "public property to use as a photo shoot".
Referring to his hot-tempered reaction, Hall apologised for upsetting the children in the vehicles, adding: "We all see red when it comes to protecting our families.'

Hall's wife Alexandra defended her husband, saying she had also tried to get the drivers to leave.
'We feel like we live in a goldfish bowl, people knock on our house, drive past, shout, beep, every 30 minutes,' she said. 'This isn't the price of fame, it's stalking, it's scary, it's intimidating and it's not fair."

Hall won the 2017 World's Strongest Man competition and is best known for his then-world-record setting 500kg deadlift.
Since retiring from strongman contests, Hall has transitioned into a career in mixed martial arts and boxing.
He has also become a media personality and uploads videos to his YouTube channel, which boasts more than 3.2 million subscribers.

Tom Cruise's Second Act Keeps Getting Derailed by Scientology
Tom Cruise's career renaissance hit an unexpected snag at the London premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. As the 62‑year‑old Hollywood heavyweight made his grand entrance — pulling a stunt akin to his Olympics announcement last summer, scaling the nose of twin vintage planes as part of the film's spectacle — a small band of former Scientology members staged a peaceful protest just feet from the red carpet. Their leader, 29‑year‑old Alex Barnes — who is publicly listed on Scientology's websites as an enemy of the group, part of the group's 'fair game' harassment tactic — livestreamed the demonstration, which lasted roughly ten minutes before plainclothes officers swooped in, cuffing protesters under stop‑and‑search laws and searching their bags — by which time Cruise and his fellow A‑listers were already inside the Odeon Leicester Square. More from SheKnows Ana de Armas Spoke About Tom Cruise for the First Time After Romance Rumors & She's Keeping Us Guessing Barnes later decried the incident as 'a completely unnecessary and excessive use of police force which temporarily restricted our rights to peaceful protest,' per The Sun, noting that he'd been neither approached nor asked why he and his group had gathered. 'It was absolutely not our intention to cause any sort of disruption. We just wanted to be heard,' he told reporters, adding that cuffs had left bruises on his wrists. According to the Metropolitan Police, officers responded to reports of suspicious behavior before determining the demonstration was peaceful; no one was formally arrested. This latest disruption underscores the long‑standing shadow Scientology casts over Cruise's every move. Since the group was founded in the 1950s by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, it has weathered allegations of financial exploitation, emotional abuse, and aggressive tactics to stifle dissent, and that's putting it conservatively. Cruise, arguably the world's most famous Scientologist, has been its public poster child for decades, even as whispers mount that he's quietly distanced himself from the church. He hasn't publicly mentioned his membership in over a year, though insiders insist he's not fully out. For Cruise, these protests come amid a highly publicized second act in his personal life: his alleged romance with Ana de Armas. The pair have jet‑set across Europe together, from helicopter drop‑ins to low‑key Valentine's outings. Yet beneath the apparent bliss lies a thorny question of faith. De Armas, a devout Catholic, hails from a tight‑knit religious family in Cuba, and friends say she's weighed whether Scientology could derail her own future. 'Ana was raised Catholic and her family would not accept Tom because of his beliefs,' a source previously explained, though another insider insisted her heart might be open: 'His Scientologist beliefs are not a deal breaker for Ana.' Whether Cruise and de Armas can navigate this spiritual divide remains to be seen. But on premiere night in Leicester Square, it was clear that no amount of Hollywood pageantry can fully distract from the controversies that cling to one of its brightest of SheKnows 20 Of Jackie Kennedy's Most Iconic Summer Outfits All the Best Photos of Jackie Kennedy With Her Young Kids JFK Jr. & Caroline Kennedy Kristen Stewart, Keke Palmer, & More Stars Who Had Dramatic Hair Changes

'Targeted terror attack' in Colorado - reports of several victims
The FBI says it is investigating a "targeted terror attack" in Colorado - with reports a man threw petrol bombs at people at a pro-Israel event. FBI Director Kash Patel said agents were on the scene and working with local law enforcement. Witnesses told US media the attacker threw Molotov cocktails at people doing a walk to remember Israeli hostages in Gaza. A male suspect is in custody. Local police said there were "several victims" and a large part of the downtown area had been cordoned off. Police chief Steve Redfearn said it happened around 1.26pm local time and initial reports were that "people were being set on fire". He said some victims were in hospital and injuries ranged from "very serious" to "minor". "When we arrived we encountered multiple victims that were injured, with injuries consistent with burns," Mr Redfearn told the media. He said a suspect had been pointed out and taken into custody without incident. "This area is not safe yet and we're dealing with a vehicle of interest," he added. Mr Redfearn said it happened as a "group of pro-Israel people" were taking part in a peaceful demonstration - but that the motive was unconfirmed and it was too early to call it a terror attack. In an earlier post on X, police said the incident is believed to have happened at 13th and Pearl streets. Boulder is a popular university city of about 105,000 people in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just to the northwest of Denver.
