Natalie Portman and John Krasinski star as sister and brother in Fountain of Youth The actress spoke exclusively to PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere hosted at the American Museum of Natural History The Apple TV+ original film begins streaming Friday, May 23Natalie Portman got to live out one of her wildest dreams in her latest film alongside John Krasinski. During the Fountain of Youth red carpet premiere at the American Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles on Monday, May 19, the Black Swan actress, 43, opened up about why playing the sister of PEOPLE's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive, 45, was special for her. 'It was so incredible to get to work with John. He's so funny. He's so kind, such a good actor and to play brother and sister was really fun because both of us, I think, had an imagination of what it might be like,' Portman tells PEOPLE. She explains, 'I'm an only child and he has only brothers, so we both kind of had that lifetime imagination of what it would be like to bring to our characters and it was great to travel to all these incredible places with the entire cast.' Krasinski has two older brothers, Paul Krasinski and Dr. Kevin Krasinski. Kevin is an orthopedic surgeon, while Paul is a tech CEO. The Thor: Love and Thunder actress adds that being on set felt like being with family, and getting to travel the world while making the mystery movie made it that much better. 'We really had a crew the whole time and we all really had fun together. And then we got to shoot at the pyramids and be in Vienna and it was just magical,' Portman tells PEOPLE. In the Apple TV+ film directed by Guy Ritchie, treasure-hunting mastermind Luke Purdue (Krasinski) is estranged from his sister Charlotte Purdue (Portman). However, the two must come together to pull off a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. A mysterious billionaire named Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson) funds their mission, but unbeknownst to the Purdues, the wealthy investor has an ulterior motive for helping the bickering brother-sister duo. 'I love the initial juxtaposition between Luke and Charlotte — this idea of the adventurous spirit and the person who is always playing it safe,' Krasinski says in production notes for the film. Ritchie used their sometimes-strained relationship to play up the drama.

"With brothers and sisters, there will always be squabbling. And, as far as I'm concerned, squabbling is the best version of arguing. Brothers and sisters can say things to each other that no one else can. You can warm your hands off that kind of banter,' the director said. In addition to Krasinski and Portman, the upcoming film also stars Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Laz Alonso, Arian Moayed and more. Fountain of Youth debuts on Apple TV+ Friday, May 23.

Benny Blanco Reveals Unusual Showering Habit That Made Selena Gomez Say 'Whoa'
isn't afraid to get candid about his showering rituals, even when they raise eyebrows. The Grammy-nominated producer recently opened up about his unconventional bathing habits in a behind-the-scenes TikTok for Interview magazine's March issue, where Benny Blanco and fiancée answered fun couple questions. When asked which of them takes the longest showers, Gomez didn't hesitate before pointing at Blanco. He fully embraced the label and even explained why his time under hot water stretches out so long. "OK, I might not get to shower every day, but when I do, when I feel like I deserve it, I'm in there for so long contemplating life,' Blanco admitted in the TikTok. 'I sit down in every shower I go into.' But it's not just about relaxation because Blanco also finds solace in using his showers as a form of emotional release. 'Have you ever cried in the shower? It's incredible,' he told Interview before turning to Gomez with a curious question of his own. 'Do you cry in the shower?' he asked, prompting Gomez to burst into laughter. Blanco went on to describe another recurring experience during his extended showers, something that he calls 'death realizations.' 'I always get death realizations when I'm in the shower,' he revealed in the TikTok clip. Gomez, appearing taken aback, simply responded with a stunned 'Whoa.' 'No, like, I realize I'm gonna die, but it's in the shower,' he elaborated. In response, Gomez playfully raised the question cards to cover her face. 'And then I cry about it a little bit, and then it goes away, and then I feel great because I'm … the warm water.' Before diving further into his shower musings, Blanco cut himself off, wrapping things up with, "OK, next question." Blanco's shower discussion with Interview magazine comes months after he first opened up about his bathing habits in PEOPLE's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue. Sharing his own philosophies about self-care, the producer told PEOPLE in the November issue, 'Don't stink. Do all the stuff.' Blanco also told the outlet that he does not 'believe in always shampooing" (or conditioning) his hair. 'I'm really clean, but I don't shower every day,' he said at the time. 'Some people I know shower two to three times a day, but I feel like the oils on your skin don't have time to rejuvenate and get juicy.' As for his preferred scent, post-shower or otherwise, the producer said he likes 'to use a hodgepodge.' 'I want to smell [like] tobacco, but also like cotton candy. I want there to be an aroma as I'm walking by,' he explained. 'I want it to smell a little bit like man, a little bit feminine. I definitely lean a little more feminine in every sense.' Gomez and Blanco are making a major move (literally). The couple recently purchased a stunning Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, taking their relationship to the next level with a jaw-dropping new home. According to TMZ, Gomez and Blanco sealed the deal on the lavish mansion in December, spending a staggering $35 million to secure the property. The sprawling residence features seven bedrooms and twelve bathrooms, offering plenty of space for the pair to settle in. Beyond its luxurious living quarters, the estate boasts resort-like amenities, including a grand swirling staircase, a library, and a glass greenhouse solarium. The property also includes a private gym and a swimming pool, making it the ultimate oasis for relaxation and entertainment. Adding to its allure, the mansion comes with a significant Hollywood pedigree. Prior to Gomez and Blanco's purchase, the estate was previously owned by a major Hollywood director, further elevating its prestige. Their multi-million-dollar deal stands as one of the priciest real estate transactions in Beverly Hills for 2024, placing them among the city's elite homeowners. But for Gomez, who recently reached billionaire status thanks to the immense success of her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, this purchase is just another lavish addition to her impressive collection of assets.
