Sophie Turner says famous couple broke off engagement after actor accused her of ‘flirting'
While appearing on Thursday's episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Game of Thrones star, 29, recalled an afterparty for San Diego Comic-Con, where she was accused of flirting with another actor's fiancé.
She explained to Meyers that she was with a childhood friend of hers who 'loved' one of the actors at the party and asked Turner to say hi. However, the situation took a turn when the actor's fiancée noticed that the X-Men star was waving at him.
'That was it,' she said, emphasizing that all she did was wave and didn't speak to the actor. 'Later on, I see this girl looking at me, and she's a famous actress. And I go, 'I have to go and tell her how much she means to me.''
After making her way over to the woman on the dance floor, she immediately asked Turner, 'Can you stop f***ing flirting with my fiancé?' Turner responded by asking who her fiancé was when she pointed at the actor she had waved at earlier.
'I have no idea who this man is,' Turner claimed. 'Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realize I held this power.'
The Dark Phoenix actor refused to disclose the names of the couple, saying she would get 'in trouble' if she did.
Turner is currently dating Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson after a brief split earlier this year, according to reports. She was previously married to Joe Jonas for five years, with whom she shares two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two.
The divorce from Jonas was finalized in September 2024, with a judge declaring that their marriage was 'irretrievably broken.'
Despite the former couple's divorce causing a contentious custody battle over their two daughters, they resolved the dispute after deciding to co-parent. Jonas even recently said he has 'a great co-parenting relationship' with Turner.
On a July episode of the podcast School of Greatness, he said: 'My little ones have some incredible women to look up to, including their mom.
'As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want.'

Conan O'Brien says late-night TV will 'disappear' after Colbert cancellation
Conan O'Brien isn't optimistic about the future of late-night TV as we know it. During a speech at the Television Academy Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 16, the comedian predicted the current late-night television format will go away, but stressed that the comics who host those shows still have a bright future in the industry. "Late-night television, as we have known it since around 1950, is going to disappear," O'Brien said. "But those voices are not going anywhere. People like Stephen Colbert are too talented, and too essential, to go away. It's not going to happen. He's not going anywhere. Stephen is going to evolve and shine brighter than ever in a new format that he controls completely." Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox O'Brien's comments came about a month after CBS announced its shock cancellation of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," which the network described as "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." The move sparked speculation that Colbert's fellow late-night hosts could also be on the chopping block, though no other network has followed CBS' lead since then. After the "Late Show" cancellation, some suggested Colbert could move into podcasting, pointing to O'Brien as a successful example of that pivot. After almost three decades hosting various late-night shows, O'Brien left the format in 2021 with the end of TBS' "Conan" but has stayed active as host of his podcast "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend." He also stars in the HBO Max travel show "Conan O'Brien Must Go" and hosted the Academy Awards in 2025, with plans to return in the role in 2026. Stephen Colbert is out at CBS. Is all of late-night TV officially doomed? While being inducted into the Hall of Fame, O'Brien joked in his speech, "For those of you under 40, late-night television was a service designed to distract college students until science could perfect the internet and online pornography." Joking aside, the former "Late Night" host shared a positive message in the face of changes in the television landscape. "We're having this event now in a time when there's a lot of fear about the future of television, and rightfully so," he said. "The life we've all known for almost 80 years is undergoing seismic change. But, this might just be my nature, I choose not to mourn what is lost because I think, in the most essential way, what we have is not changing at all." He added, "Streaming changes the pipeline, but the connection, the talent, the ideas that come into our homes? I think it's as potent as ever." 'I would worry about myself': Seth Meyers reveals concern about his show being canceled "Late Night" host Seth Meyers recently shared his concerns about the future of late-night TV in an interview on the "Armchair Expert" podcast, which was recorded before the Colbert cancellation. "I shifted from fearing that I wouldn't be good enough, and now, my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is at some point, the ecosystem might not support it," Meyers said. "I guess that's better than thinking it's your fault, but it is weird to not feel any control over it."

Pedro Pascal Has Had A Massive Year, But I Just Watched One Of His 2025 Movies That No One Is Talking About
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's safe to say Pedro Pascal is having a very good year. Between being a part of one of the biggest 2025 TV shows with The Last of Us Season 2 to having large roles in two of the biggest releases on the 2025 movie schedule, we've seen a lot of the former Game of Thrones actor. However, while everyone is talking about The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, there's one movie that seems to have flown under the radar: Freaky Tales. If you haven't heard of Freaky Tales, just know that it's an anthology film set in Oakland in 1987, telling four underdog stories – be it in sports, the world of crime, the East Bay's hip hop scene, or a battle between punks and Nazi skinheads. Now that's streaming with an HBO Max subscription, there's no reason not to watch this Pedro Pascal movie no one is talking about… HBO Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthPay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, with three tiers available for subscribers. You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal Freaky Tales Is A Wild And Blood-Soaked Anthology Film Will All Kinds Of Surprises Don't worry, you're not going to find any spoilers that weren't already teased in the Freaky Tales trailer below, but just know that this is a wild and blood-soaked anthology film where all four stories – 'Strength in Numbers: The Gilman Strikes Back,' 'Don't Fight the Feeling,' 'Born to Mack,' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Floyd' – share a common conneection. It's campy, it's violent, and it's fun as hell. And then there are the surprises throughout Freaky Tales. With some outrageous cameos, including one that I'm still laughing about days later, pop culture references, and one shocking turn after another, this crazy anthology film is something else! Like The Last Of Us And The Fantastic Four, Pedro Pascal Plays A Father Forced To Make A Grave Decision Pedro Pascal has played some great dads and father figures in recent years, with The Wild Robot, The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, The Last of Us, and The Mandalorian quickly coming to mind. This is the same for Freaky Tales, as the in-demand actor, who had to drop out of another great 2025 horror flick, Weapons, plays a former enforcer who's tasked with making a grave decision after the birth of his first child. Again, I won't give anything away, but his character finds himself in quite a pickle where there's only one, and incredibly violent, way out. I Honestly Don't Know How This Flew Under The Radar When I was writing about all the new 2025 action movies I wanted to see, I made sure to include Freaky Tales, as the premise and cast had me interested to see how it'd all go down. Back then, and even now, I haven't come across anyone else who's watched this movie, and I'm struggling to figure out how it flew under the radar for so long. With Captain Marvel and Masters of the Air's Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck directing, a cast that includes Jay Ellis as NBA legend Sleepy Floyd, Ironheart's Dominique Thorne, Ben Mendelsohn, and the late Angus Cloud, and some of the wildest gore I've seen all year, this checks all the boxes. Maybe now, with the movie streaming on HBO Max, this will change. Don't be like me and wait so long to watch Freaky Tales, because this is one wild-as-hell anthology film you won't want to miss.

The Usual Suspects: Why it's still one of the best crime movies ever
The Usual Suspects made its theatrical debut on August 16, 1995, introducing audiences to one of the cinema's greatest, most shocking crime thrillers. Directed by Bryan Singer, the story follows an interrogation of a con artist (Kevin Spacey) who, after surviving a drug robbery gone wrong, tries to prove the existence of a mythical crime lord who sent him and his partners to carry out their fateful heist. Disregarding the controversies surrounding Singer and Spacey, The Usual Suspects has left behind a prestigious legacy that lasts to this day. Presenting a mind-blowing story told by a fearsome, cunning villain with spectacular performers, The Usual Suspects remains a classic of cinema 30 years after its release. Recommended Videos The American Film Institute even placed it in the Top 10 list for the best mystery films ever made. Though many people already know the movie's legendary twist, The Usual Suspects continues to captivate audiences. An iconic villain steals the show The movie's antagonist, Keyser Söze, cemented himself as one of cinema's greatest villains by executing one of the greatest twists in film history. During the movie, Söze is built up to be a legendary, ruthless crime boss who may or may not exist. The only thing people know about Söze is the story of how he killed his family and the criminals who held them hostage just to prove his willpower. Such a tale established him as a ruthless and fearsome villain driven by the sole purpose of controlling others through fear and lies, turning him into the Devil or Boogeyman of the criminal underworld. The movie also delivers some truly memorable quotes to build up the terror and mystique of Söze. However, the movie changes everything in its final moments, revealing Spacey's character, Verbal Kint, was Söze, who had fabricated an elaborate story based on things he saw in Agent Kujan's (Chazz Palminteri) office to lie his way to freedom. Kint convinced Kujan and the audience that Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) was the real Keyser Söze without even saying it. This resulted in a mind-blowing double twist. As he sheds his disguise as a cowardly, pitiful man with a physical disability, Söze proves how fiendish and frightening a figure he is. Using his skills of deception, he tricked the criminal justice system into letting him go before he retreated into the shadows, proving that evil can take the most unsuspecting form. By portraying such a conniving character with so many emotional masks, Spacey won an Academy Award for his performance as Söze. A memorable twist makes the film more rewatchable Even after the film's big twist, The Usual Suspects still warrants multiple viewings from audiences. Many small details hint at Söze's identity and his clever scheme. For instance, when Kint sits alone in Kujan's office, he is seen looking around all the agent's belongings, silently building the false narrative in his head. Kint is also said to have legal protection from the Prince of Darkness, foreshadowing the reveal of his true identity, Keyser Söze. Audiences may need to watch the movie more than once to catch what they missed the first time, making for an elaborate and surprising narrative that is much more compelling. Despite its deceptive nature, The Usual Suspects tells some hard truths about the real world, and the audience comes to appreciate the story through its rewatchability. The Usual Suspects proves that not everyone is who they appear to be and that the truth is a construct that can easily be distorted. Like a true devil, Söze mixes his lies with the truth to show the flaws of the criminal justice system. Naturally, for his work on the film's mind-blowing script, future Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The Writers Guild of America even put the film's script in its list of the 101 Best Screenplays Ever Written. The film features an engaging story, nevertheless At times, it seems like this twist ending of The Usual Suspects has overshadowed the rest of the film. While Söze's story was predominantly false, that shouldn't detract viewers from seeing the value of what came before the film's big twist. What Söze made up remains unclear. Kobayashi turned out to be a real person, proving there may be some truth to Söze's story. Although Keaton's portrayal was based on Söze's fabricated story, it is difficult not to feel sympathy for him. He tries to move on from his criminal past, only to feel compelled to pull off a heist to make money and exact revenge on the NYPD for ruining his chances at a new life. Kujan argues that Keaton wasn't a changed man, and while that may have been true, Söze proved to him that he was wrong about Keaton as well. Perhaps he was trying to change, and the NYPD did prevent him from doing so. Thus, in a bit of tragic irony, the police may have inadvertently driven Keaton and his partners down the road to their destruction. In addition, Spacey's performance shouldn't overshadow the rest of the cast. The Usual Suspects features spectacular performances from its other main players, particularly Byrne, Palminteri, Benicio del Toro, and Pete Postlethwaite. It even shows Giancarlo Esposito giving a noteworthy performance long before he broke out on Breaking Bad. The Usual Suspects may be best known for its twist ending, but the film as a whole has held up three decades after its release. The movie is a gripping, gritty, and gut-wrenching crime thriller, only to flip the script and make everyone revisit and rethink what they witnessed. Few films have come close to replicating such a surprising story, making The Usual Suspects even more remarkable.
