Aaron Taylor-Johnson smoulders as he flashes a glimpse of his hairy chest in an open shirt alongside Jodie Comer and director Danny Boyle at 28 Years Later event in NYC
Aaron Taylor-Johnson joined co-star Jodie Comer and director Danny Boyle at an event for their new zombie movie 28 Years Later in New York on Sunday. The British actor, 34, who sported a bushy beard, smouldered as he flashed a glimpse of his hairy chest in an open shirt while taking to the red carpet. Aaron cut a stylish figure in beige ensemble and teamed the shirt with a matching sports jacket, trousers and suede shoes. He completed with a gold necklace and flashy Omega watch, after signing a deal with the brand which provide timepieces to the James Bond franchise - in what fans believes was a hint he would soon be announced as the new 007. Meanwhile Jodie, 32, was the epitome of chic in a flowing black blouse which was worn with bell bottoms and pointed heels. DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The much-anticipated release of 28 Years Later is just weeks away, with fans left waiting two decades to discover the next instalment in the film series. And with the nation devastated by the Rage virus nearly three decades ago, this new film - released June 19 - will show insight into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive. For one such community, this means complete isolation from the outside world, and in a new clip ahead of the film's premiere, star Aaron shares insight into this new addition to the 28 Days Later universe for the first time. In this new land, known as The Holy Island, humans are entirely self-sufficient, and only leave the community to hunt on the mainland, when the tide is low. Aaron plays Jamie a scavenger who is tasked with training his Spike to survive in the wilderness, before they embark on a deadly mission to the mainland. In an exclusive featurette, Aaron offers a glimpse at this new Holy Island, explaining: 'My character is part of this community that survived 20-odd years because they live on the Holy Island, disconnected from the mainland. 'They don't have doctors or medicine, can only eat what they can grow, they can go hunt, but they have to go hunt on the mainland.' 'And we have rules, if you leave the island and you don't return, there's no one going out to look for you, they're going to assume you've been infected and you're dead.' Aaron then explains that for his character's son, it's a 'rite of passage' to learn his father's hunting skills, in the hope that they can survive when they leave the island. The film is set on the real-life island of Lindisfarne, which is only accessible through a causeway during low tide. Jodie Comer also stars in the film as Jamie's wife Isla, while Ralph Fiennes plays Dr. Kelson, a survivor of the outbreak. The original film 28 Days Later starred Cillian as a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society. But despite frenzied speculation that he would be reprising his role in this sequel, when the trailer came out in December, with one character appearing to resemble a zombified form of Cillian's character Jim from the first film. However, this theory was quickly shut down when a London art dealer and model revealed he was the one playing the zombie character. Danny has since teased that viewers may get to see Cillian, 48, return after all, in one of the later films in the trilogy. Speaking during Sony's presentation at 2025 CinemaCon, the filmmaker hinted: 'Like all good things in life, you may have to wait a little while for [Cillian] to make his appearance'. 28 Years Later was filmed back-to-back with the second film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, by director Nia DaCosta, which is being released in January 2026. Producer Andrew Macdonald previously confirmed that Cillian would not be appearing in 28 Years Later, but also suggested he could return for a future film. He told Empire: '[On] this, we wanted him to be involved and he wanted to be involved. He is not in the first film, but I'm hoping there will be some Jim somewhere along the line.' He added: 'He's involved at the moment as an executive producer, and I would hope we can work with him in some way in the future in the trilogy.' With a budget of $75million, 28 Years Later is the biggest film to be created with an iPhone and follows in the footsteps of a new Apple TV show. 28 Years Later hits UK cinemas on June 19, 2025.

I paid £70 for rare painting worth £8,000 at car boot sale – my three must-follow tips to find gems
ANTIQUES lover Sally-Ann Cathcart can often be seen hunting for treasures at car boot sales - but one find has left her quids in. The 50-year-old antiques dealer from North Shropshire paid just £70 for a pair of paintings - and she's now been told they could sell for £8,000 at auction. 4 4 4 She was on one of her regular car boot sale trips in Bridgnorth when she spotted the paintings and immediately she knew she'd stumbled across something incredibly special. That's because the ultra-rare paintings were the work of one of the UK's most famous artists, Percy Shakespeare - and they were going for a bargain price. 'My eyes lit up when I saw them,' she told The Sun. 'I literally had that little heart flutter. I knew instantly what they were.' Sally-Ann said the man who sold her the paintings was a regular at car boot sales but 'clearly didn't know the value' of the art. The seller had got hold of the paintings while doing a house clearance for a lady. Unbelievably, they had been sat at the bottom of a trunk underneath a pile of old newspapers and magazines. The 1928 watercolour paintings show two children - a young boy and a girl - and Sally-Ann believes they may have been the children of the lady who owned the trunk. The paintings hadn't been in a frame or come with a plastic covering but Sally-Ann said they were in incredible condition as they had been kept inside the trunk for so long. She says she snapped them up immediately, and still has them 10 years on. Sally-Ann is a huge fan of Percy Shakespeare and is planning to keep hold of the paintings because she loves them so much. Antiques Roadshow guest is stunned by huge value of charity shop earrings bought for £5 But it was only recently that she decided to get them valued - and she was given a huge shock. An expert told her she could likely get £8,000 for the paintings if she took them to auction. 'I just have a second of thinking, 'have I heard you correctly?',' she said. 'I wanted to punch the air.' Other pieces of art from Percy Shakespeare that have gone to auction have sold for 10 times their estimated value, Sally-Ann says. If that came true for her, she could net herself a whopping £80,000 - although of course you never know what someone will pay at auction. The money might be tempting, but Sally-Ann says she plans to keep the paintings. 'I would only sell them if I absolutely really needed to because I just want to treasure them,' she says. The antiques dealer might be planning to keep hold of this rare find, but she's also made a small business out of buying and selling treasures from car boot sales and vintage fairs. Some of her clients include Cath Kidston, the National Trust and Pinewood Studios. 'Pinewood Studios is always fascinating because it could be like 'right we're doing a 1950s film and we need a petrol blue car'. 'Sometimes I'll be like, yeah, actually funnily enough, I've got one in the garage. Is this any good to you?' She's even sent an order to St James's Palace, where Princess Anne and Princess Beatrice live. Sally-Ann started out collecting antiques as a child when her grandma used to take her to Birmingham rag markets. 'I guess I've grown up with that old-fashioned rooting through, finding the best bargains,' she said. She bought her first antique - a 1920s art deco wallet - at around seven years old. 'I've always felt very comfortable in old places, old buildings,' she says. 'I love that whole old-fashioned mentality of let's make do and mend, which I think is perhaps coming back into fashion now. And then I've built a business out of it.' Now she'll often get requests from clients who ask her to search for specific items and she'll go on a hunt for them. Sally-Ann says she might for example be able to pick up a mirror for £5 and then sell it on for £120 to £150. Other memorable finds SALLY-ANN says she buys everything secondhand and her best finds end up staying with her. These are the ones she treasures the most… Vintage barometer The antiques dealer owns one of the oldest barometers produced by optician James Aitchison, who later went on to form optician chain Dollond & Aitchison in 1750. Sally-Ann says she picked up the antique for just £2 at a car boot sale last year. Photo album Another find is a photo album from the 1900s, which she snapped up for just £1. Sally-Ann says the photos inside show holidays and some sort of boating event. Photo of a World War One soldier Sally-Ann also picks out a photograph of a soldier from World War One. 'He looks about 16, and it's a beautiful French photograph of him,' she says. 'It hangs in my house and it has done for about 25 years.' Sally-Ann's top tips for finding valuable antiques The antiques dealer says she's developed an eye for something valuable over the years, but it's always worth going along to a car boot sale and seeing what you can find. 'The key things for car boots are take plenty of change, take comfortable shoes, take lots of bags, get there early,' she says. But her biggest tip is to remember your manners when talking to sellers. 'People will expect you to haggle at a car boot. So, if somebody says the item is £2, it is absolutely fine to say, 'would you take £1, please? 'And if they say, no, I wouldn't, no problem, you just decide whether you want to pay the £2 or not.' Sally-Ann says that around 70% of the time sellers will take the lower price, so you shouldn't be afraid to haggle but 'just do it with politeness and courtesy'. Sally-Ann says she's seen people throwing items back down onto the seller's table after not getting a lower price - and that's not the way to go. Another of her tips is that if we see something you like, you shouldn't wait around. 'Because if you leave it, I promise you, when you go back it will be gone,' she says. Sally-Ann says it's easy to start buying and selling antiques. 'You haven't got to invest thousands of pounds. You can take £20 or even £10 in cash this weekend, go to the car boot sale and just see what you can get.'

Flight attendant reveals the secret trick used to 'punish' passengers who refuse to swap seats
A flight attendant has revealed the secret trick she uses to 'punish' passengers who refuse to swap seats. Mitra Amirzadeh, an Orlando-based flight attendant, revealed she has her own secret method of dealing with difficult passengers. The cabin crew member claimed she doesn't always get involved in seat swapping dilemmas, but if it involves a child needing to sit with a parent she will step in. Mitra revealed that asking the passenger who is refusing to move seats, to look after the child, is a very quick way to get them to move seats fast. She told the The Wall Street Journal: 'I have said before, "OK, so you're going to watch the toddler? '"You'll want their snacks and their colouring books then, because they're going to need that".' She claimed this quickly motivates the passenger to allow the child to be seated with their parent. However Mitra, who is also a union rep for an airline that charges passengers for advance seat selection, said she doesn't want passengers to be 'forced' to swap seats if they have paid for it. She continued: 'The next time you feel yourself getting angry or getting frustrated that you're not getting the seat you want, you need to remind yourself that you didn't pay to pick your seat. Otherwise, you'd be in it.' Mitra revealed that the frustrating seat-swapping drama occurs on roughly 80 per cent of her monthly flights. It comes after travel expert Jamie Fraser, of Wild Packs American summer camp, offered his top tips on how to respond to a seat swapping request with proper etiquette. His advice comes in the wake of a viral incident involving a woman who was filmed by a passenger and berated online after refusing to give up her seat to a crying child - resulting in her losing her job. Jennifer Castro, a 29-year-old bank employee from Brazil, became the centre of an internet firestorm after a row on a GOL Airlines domestic flight in December 2024, and has since filed charges against the airline and the passenger who filmed her. According to YouGov, a mere six per cent of Brits would not switch seats under any circumstances, even though this could cause a disturbance. To ensure a hassle-free flight, Jamie Fraser recommends following his advice next time you're asked to move on a plane. Fraser stresses that passengers are not obligated to switch seats with a fellow flyer. Your seat number is printed on your boarding pass, and if you have pre-booked a window or aisle seat, for example, you are entitled to choose to remain in that designated spot. If you are asked to switch to a middle seat, Fraser advises to simply tell the passenger you prefer to keep the seat you're in. If the request persists, Fraser recommends calmly repeating your refusal without further explanation. After all, your fellow passenger had just as much opportunity as you to book their preferred seat in advance. If the passenger doesn't take no for an answer, Fraser recommends staying firm but polite. The expert explains: 'If the passenger continues to press you to swap seats, it is important to stay firm but polite in your response. 'Remember that it isn't rude to decline. Calmly reiterate that you won't swap seats. 'If necessary, involve a flight attendant as they are trained to handle these types of situations.' When should you consider swapping seats? Fraser notes that there are a few situations where it may be appropriate to consider a seat swap. He advises: 'You should only seriously consider swapping your seat when a young child has been separated from their family. 'However, the family should first consult the airline for help before asking a passenger to swap seats. Even then, you are not obligated to switch seats. 'You can, of course, consider swapping seats if you are unhappy with your current one, and a passenger offers you a better seat. Outside of this situation, however, asking to swap seats is considered poor travel etiquette.' Fraser adds that wanting to sit next to a friend, disliking a middle seat, or failing to book seats together in advance are not justifiable reasons to expect someone to move. Another major mistake to avoid is assuming that it's okay to take another passenger's seat without their input. An important rule when travelling is to never sit in someone's seat before they board, as this can cause unnecessary delays. It can also potentially lead to tension or, worse, a confrontation between you and the rightful ticket holder. Fraser warns: 'A member of staff may ask you to leave the plane or you could find yourself going viral online.' Offering a 'fair' swap If you're the one requesting to swap seats, it's important to make sure you are offering a fair trade. This could be the same type of seat elsewhere in the cabin, or a seat upgrade with more space. Fraser stresses that expecting someone to swap their window or aisle seat for a middle seat is not good travel etiquette. It comes after influencer Maddie Borge, 24, revealed she'd managed to bag a whole row of seats to herself on an Etihad Airways flight, thanks to the carrier's neighbour-free scheme. The scheme asks passengers to put in how much money they'd be willing to spend to get the row to themselves and if the plane is not busy, they are then awarded the extra seats.
