Pedro Pascal was "appalled" by the way he looked in Wonder Woman 1984 and says he'll never go back to a clean-shaven look again "unless it were completely necessary"

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Pedro Pascal will go through a lot for a role. He'll get beaten to death with a golf club, he'll get his eyes gouged out in trial by combat, but he won't go clean-shaven. Not after Wonder Woman 1984, at least. "I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off… I really look very… Strongly disagree with a clean-shaven me," Pascal said in a new interview with LADbible. One role that involved being clean-shaven, however, was Maxwell "Max Lord" Lorenzano in the DCEU's Wonder Woman sequel, which was released in 2020. Max is a businessman who uses an artifact known as the Dreamstone to save his failing oil company and wreak havoc on the world. The character sports an '80s mop of blond hair, and a completely smooth face. "I was so appalled by the way I looked," he continued. "I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never have gone back unless it were completely necessary. If they asked me to be clean-shaven for Fantastic Four, and if they had insisted, I would've done it. But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie." Now, of course, the DCEU is dead and James Gunn's rebooted DCU Chapter One has kicked off on the big screen with Superman (in which Sean Gunn briefly appears as Maxwell Lord). And Pascal has swapped DC for Marvel, playing Reed Richards, AKA Mister Fantastic, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps alongside Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in UK cinemas on July 24 and US theaters on July 25.

Winona Ryder says she still plays poker with Al Pacino

US actress Winona Ryder has said she still plays poker with Hollywood star Al Pacino and that she once confessed her love to him. Ryder, 53, is best known for starring in Tim Burton's 1988 movie Beetlejuice and its 2024 sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, along with playing Joyce Byers in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. She worked with The Godfather star Pacino, 85, in the films Simone (2002) and Looking For Richard (1996), adding that she was 'actively' in love with him. Ryder, who fronts the September issue of ELLE UK, told the magazine: 'I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him. 'We were doing that workshop for Richard III, which I didn't know was gonna be a movie. I was actively in love with him. 'He was obsessed with coffee, and he would take me all over New York – like, to the weirdest places – to try different coffees. I'm 22, or whatever. Finally, he's dropping me off wherever I'm staying, and I'm like, 'I love you, you know. I really am completely in love with you.' And he was like: 'Aw, honey, noooo.' 'Then, like 10 years later, I meet his girlfriend, who's younger than me. 'I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best.' With a career spanning decades, Ryder credits actress Laura Dern for helping her navigate the industry and taking her under her wing. She said: 'I don't think I'd be here without her. I met her on my first screen test for Lucas – I didn't know what a screen test was. 'Laura was there to read for the older girl, and she talked me through it, 'cause I didn't know what the f*** was going on. 'She befriended me. I was literally 12 and – nobody knows this – she took me under her wing into my twenties. That relationship got me through.' She is now passing on her own wisdom to the younger cast members on the series Stranger Things. Ryder said: 'I've been trying to sort of change this narrative with the kids, because they have it drilled into them that they're so lucky and, you know, that this show 'made' them. 'I'm like: 'No. Netflix is so lucky. You guys are the special ones. Like, you guys are magic.'' Ryder is also known for starring in films including Heathers, Edward Scissorhands and Little Women. The September issue of ELLE UK is on sale from 31 July.

Madelyn Cline I Know What You Did Last Summer Cast Trivia Game

We've returned to Southport this summer. The new I Know What You Did Last Summer has finally hit theaters with a new cast of up-and-coming actors. Like Scream (2022), I Know What You Did Last Summer is a legacy sequel that follows a new group of friends who start receiving mysterious notes a year after covering up a fatal car accident. Alongside a brand-new cast, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt reprise their roles from the original film, too. So, to celebrate the new film, we had the cast — Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Sarah Pidgeon, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, and Gabbriette Bechtel — compete in a friendly game of Cast Wars to see who knows who the absolute best. Broken up into two teams, things got personal right out of the gate when Chase, Tyriq, and Gabbriette named their team the Pogues, LOL. We tested their knowledge on some of their costars' earliest acting roles, like Madelyn in Stranger Things and Tyriq in Legacies. And, don't worry, The Wilds fans, we even tested their knowledge on Sarah's role as Leah in the beloved, but short-lived, series. Plus, we wanted to see how well they know the OG movie, so they couldn't escape trivia about it, like what color dress Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) wore. The whole thing was so hilariously chaotic, and it'll make you love these actors (and their competitive sides) even more. You can watch the full video below: And be sure to watch I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is in theaters now! Do you love all things TV and movies?
