Christian Bale brings Raiders drama to life in upcoming Madden NFL movie unrecognizable as Al Davis
Christian Bale has shocked fans yet again with a jaw-dropping transformation — this time into late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis for the upcoming sports biopic Madden. The Oscar winner is almost unrecognisable on set in Atlanta, with a receding hairline, bleached brows, and a full Al Davis swagger. Okay, so Christian Bale has done a lot of wild body transformations in his career but this one might top the charts. A leaked first look from the set of the upcoming Madden movie has fans doing double takes because, no joke, he looks nothing like himself. Playing legendary (and often polarizing) Raiders owner Al Davis, Bale is decked out in bleached eyebrows, a widow's peak wig, retro Raiders gear, and even massive Super Bowl rings. People legit thought the photo was AI-generated. But nope, it's real, it's intense, and it's already viral. Christian Bale's Al Davis transformation has taken over NFL Twitter and for good reason In the leaked image, Bale is practically unrecognizable. His slicked-back hair, thin sideburns, and era-perfect Raiders outfit instantly give off old-school NFL boss vibes. Even his eyebrows are bleached to match the legendary Davis look. The fit? Spot-on 1980s Raiders executive style. The rings? Blingy replicas of Davis's Super Bowl wins. The internet's response? Total chaos. One fan posted, 'How is that even Christian Bale? I had to stare at it for 10 seconds.' Others joked that Bale's commitment to roles is so intense, he probably studied every Al Davis press conference for a year. Not far off, this guy went full method for Vice , remember? The Madden movie is shaping up to be a major NFL storytelling moment So what's this Madden movie all about? It's a biopic on legendary coach and broadcaster John Madden, played by none other than Nicolas Cage. The film will track Madden's rise from head coach of the Raiders to becoming the face of one of the most iconic video game franchises in history— Madden NFL . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brazilian Bikinis 2025 Expertinspector Click Here Undo Directed by David O. Russell (who's worked with Bale on American Hustle and The Fighter ), the film also stars John Mulaney, Kathryn Hahn, and Sienna Miller. But the addition of Christian Bale as Al Davis? That instantly changes the tone. This won't be just a sweet football movie, it's going deep into the drama, the egos, and the high-stakes tension that built NFL history. Why Christian Bale playing Al Davis is such a big deal for football fans Al Davis wasn't just an owner, he was the most controversial, rebellious, and trailblazing figure the NFL had ever seen. He clashed with the league, pushed boundaries, and ran the Raiders like a true renegade empire. Oh, and he's the reason Madden became a head coach in the first place. By casting Bale in this role, it's clear the movie isn't shying away from Davis's big role in Madden's journey. Their partnership and later tension, defined an era of football. Bale as Davis? That's Oscar-bait stuff right there. Also read - Elon Musk's Epstein tweet about Donald Trump sparks wild Antonio Brown reaction

Why was Washington's most eligible bachelor, Judge David H. Souter, unmarried?
FILE - David Souter, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is shown, Dec. 1993. (AP Photo/Marcy Nighswander, File) Judge David H Souter died at 85 in his beloved New Hampshire. Appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, he was expected to be a conservative stalwart but often sided with the court's liberal bloc. A lifelong bachelor, Souter preferred quiet solitude, shunned the spotlight, and returned to his native New Hampshire after retiring in 2009. For years, David H. Souter—Supreme Court Justice, New England intellectual, and fiercely private man—held an unusual title in Washington: one of the capital's most eligible bachelors. Ruggedly smart, quietly handsome, and a Harvard grad with a love for literature and long hikes, Souter was the kind of guy who could've had his pick. So… why didn't he? But maybe that's exactly the point. Operation Sindoor India's air defence systems shoot down Pak drones in J&K, Punjab & Rajasthan India-Pakistan tensions: Delhi airport issues travel advisory Operation Sindoor: Multiple explosions heard at several Pakistan air bases Souter was a New Hampshire guy to his core—frugal, independent, and deeply introverted. Friends and clerks over the years have described Souter as married to his work. He logged long hours at the court, obsessively editing opinions and often staying late to research every possible legal angle. His idea of a wild Friday night? Reading classic novels or hiking a remote trail in New Hampshire. Sounds peaceful—but probably not date night material. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brazilian Bikinis 2025 Expertinspector Click Here Undo There were rumors, of course. One woman in his younger years was briefly mentioned in profiles—someone he reportedly dated but didn't propose to. The reasons why? Totally unknown. But even his friends admit that he seemed content on his own, not exactly pining for lost love or heartbreak. And let's not forget: being a Supreme Court justice is no small gig. Once you're nominated, your personal life gets sliced, diced, and broadcast on a national stage. Souter, who famously hated TV cameras in the courtroom, likely didn't want cameras in his private life either. Remaining single might've just been easier, cleaner, and more in line with his deeply held value of personal privacy. In fact, when he retired in 2009, he didn't move to a luxury condo or a city think tank. He packed up and quietly returned to his modest farmhouse in Weare, New Hampshire—no entourage, no fanfare. That's Souter in a nutshell. So, why didn't David Souter marry? Maybe the simplest answer is the truest: he just didn't want to. He lived a life full of books, law, nature, and solitude—and by all accounts, he liked it that way. In an age when personal lives are posted, liked, and shared by the second, Souter reminds us that a quiet life is still a life fully lived—even without a wedding ring.

Ben Roethlisberger claims Aaron Rodgers is snubbing the Steelers while secretly waiting for a Vikings reunion
Ben Roethlisberger suggests Aaron Rodgers might prefer Minnesota over Pittsburgh (Imagn Images) The NFL offseason is often filled with speculation, but Aaron Rodgers' prolonged free agency has taken center stage. Despite being one of the most decorated quarterbacks of his generation, the 4-time MVP has yet to commit to a new team after parting ways with the New York Jets. And now, former Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has added an intriguing twist to the saga. Ben Roethlisberger suggests Aaron Rodgers might be eyeing Minnesota instead of Pittsburgh Aaron Rodgers has been linked heavily with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who still have a major gap at quarterback. With Mason Rudolph, rookie Will Howard, and Skylar Thompson filling the depth chart, there's a clear opportunity for Rodgers to take over under center. But despite sightings of Rodgers working out with new Steelers addition DK Metcalf, no deal has materialized. — MotorcycleSp (@MotorcycleSp) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brazilian Bikinis 2025 Expertinspector Click Here Undo Ben Roethlisberger addressed the situation on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, saying: 'I think Aaron secretly, again, just my opinion, I think Aaron is secretly still holding out for Minnesota, which is why he hasn't signed with the Steelers.' He further added, 'Why else would you go throw to DK and be working out, and put it out blast to everybody that I'm throwing to these guys, but you won't sign?' A Vikings move would echo Brett Favre's final NFL chapter The Minnesota Vikings could offer Rodgers a smoother fit. Their quarterback-friendly offense under Kevin O'Connell and elite weapons like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison make them a compelling destination. Rodgers is also no stranger to the NFC North, having battled the Vikings for years as a Packer. This potential move would mirror the path taken by Rodgers' mentor Brett Favre, who left the Packers for the Jets before ultimately joining the Vikings. Earlier this offseason, Favre even voiced his hope that Rodgers would follow a similar trajectory. Are the Vikings even interested? That's the biggest unknown. The Vikings already invested in young talent like J.J. McCarthy, Sam Howell, and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer. McCarthy is reportedly ready to lead, which may close the door on Rodgers in Minnesota.

But if Roethlisberger's theory holds water, Rodgers may still be waiting for a call that's unlikely to come — one from the Vikings. Until then, the saga continues.

Weekend round of nuclear talks between US and Iran are postponed, Oman says
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi (left) and Steve Witkoff (right) (Image: AP) DUBAI: Planned negotiations between Iran and the United States this weekend over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program have been postponed, Oman announced Thursday. A message online from Omani foreign minister Badr al-Busaidi made the announcement in a post on the social platform X. "For logistical reasons we are rescheduling the US Iran meeting provisionally planned for Saturday May 3rd," he wrote. "New dates will be announced when mutually agreed." Al-Busaidi, who has mediated the talks through three rounds so far, did not elaborate. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei issued a statement describing the talks as being "postponed at the request of Oman's foreign minister." He said Iran remain committed to reaching "a fair and lasting agreement." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brazilian Bikinis 2025 Expertinspector Click Here Undo Meanwhile, a person familiar with the US negotiators said that America "had never confirmed its participation" in a fourth round of talks in Rome. However, the person said the US expected the talks to occur "in the near future." The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations. Rome soon will see the Vatican begin the conclave on Wednesday to pick a new pope after the death of Pope Francis . Two other rounds of talks have been held in Muscat, the capital of Oman. The talks seek to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the US has imposed on the Islamic Republic closing in on a half-century of enmity. The negotiations have been led by Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff . US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran's program if a deal isn't reached. Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels. Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers did limit Tehran's program. However, Trump unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018, setting in motion years of attacks and tensions. The wider Middle East also remains on edge over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the US continues an airstrike campaign, called "Operation Rough Rider," that has been targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels, who long have been backed by Iran. US defense secretary Pete Hegseth early Thursday warned Iran over the rebels. "Message to IRAN: We see your LETHAL support to The Houthis. We know exactly what you are doing," he wrote. "You know very well what the U.S. Military is capable of - and you were warned. You will pay the CONSEQUENCE at the time and place of our choosing." Last Saturday's round of talks, which included experts drilling down into the details of a possible deal, also took place as an explosion rocked an Iranian port, killing at least 70 people and injuring more than 1,000 others.
