You won't believe what Wilson from Cast Away looks like today
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Wilson surely remains the most famous volleyball in Hollywood. Yet, in the incredible 25 years that have passed since he made his big screen splash as supporting actor to Tom Hanks in 2000's Cast Away, he's yet to get another major role. These days, AI can make Tom Hanks look any age (see our piece on Tom Hanks' de-aging in Here). But what would Wilson look like? A sobering new campaign shows us. The Odyssey of Wilson campaign mixes immersive website design, a short film, public installations in coastal cities and live activations during sports broadcasts. With the agency Africa Creative helming creative development, it was created by the Onda Azul Institute with telecoms company Vivo to promote UNESCO's new scientific frameworks ahead of the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice. Wilson's imagined path through the world's oceans is used as a metaphor for the long-term degradation caused by plastics, bringing real datasets to life in a devastating interactive journey that covers 450 years of environmental change – the time it will take for Wilson to decay. The experience traces currents, tides, and climate events to visualise the famous volleyball's transformation into microplastics, taking in ecological disasters like acidification, ice shelf collapse and rising sea levels along the way. Scientific data can often be dry and off-putting, but in Wilson's story, Africa Creative have found a clever device to transform complex data into a story that resonates emotionally. 'This project is about making science human,' says André Luis Esteves, director at the Rio de Janeiro-based Onda Azul Institute. 'By following the journey of a simple object, we illustrate decades of invisible damage caused by plastic waste – and why it urgently needs global attention. With Vivo and inspired by UNESCO's scientific leadership, we've transformed data into a story people can feel.''Science alone doesn't move people – stories do," adds Raphael Vandystadt, VP of Sustainability at Africa Creative. "By turning complex data into a powerful visual journey, we help make the invisible visible. Communication plays a strategic role in mobilizing collective action for our oceans ahead of the UN Ocean Conference.' Add some effective interactive web design, and the campaign becomes an engaging experience and a powerful call to action aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water.

Phillip Schofield's daughter Molly breaks silence on ‘secret wedding' after she is flooded with well-wishes
PHILLIP Schofield's daughter Molly has addressed rumours that she had married in secret after being congratulated by fans. The former This Morning star's eldest child, 32, took to social media to clear up the misunderstanding. 4 Phillip Schofield's daughter Molly has broken her silence on her 'secret wedding' Credit: Instagram 4 Molly was left bemused by a report from a local outlet Credit: Andrew Sims - The Times It comes after a local media outlet reported that Molly had tied the knot in front of her family and friends. It also suggested that the mystery groom would leave fans stunned. This prompted her followers to reach out to her with well wishes. Molly seemed bemused and insisted it wasn't true. She shared a photo of the headline and wrote: "Sounds like it would have been lovely day - if any shred of this was true. "Can confirm I am not married, but thank you to the many people who were misled and have congratulated me." Molly relatively keeps out of the spotlight but last October she was forced to hit back at cruel trolls after he made his TV return in Cast Away. The shamed TV presenter, 62, made his comeback to screens on in Channel 5's Cast Away, a documentary series where he was stranded on a desert island for 10 days. Phil shares daughters Molly and Ruby with wife Stephanie Lowe, and the three women appeared on the show for a goodbye dinner before he headed off. Watch as Phillip Schofield recounts the exact moment his agent rang to tell him he had been 'sacked' from This Morning Phil and Steph split after he came out as gay in 2020. He later confessed to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger male colleague. After the first episode of Cast Away aired, Molly was forced to take to social media to slam cruel trolls. She reposted a comment which read: "So if she's so proud of him why does she use her mother's name and go by Molly Lowe? "That's a recent change. She was always Schofield and no doubt happy to use it..." But Molly fired back: "I'm Molly Schofield... and proud to be." She added a middle finger emoji to drive her point home. During the three-episode series, Phil blamed his brother for being "fired" from his lucrative This Morning and Dancing on Ice gigs. In April 2023, Timothy Schofield was convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child – including emotionally blackmailing a child into sex acts. Phillip believed the discovery of Timothy's crimes caused ITV to edge him out before firing him. However, according to The Mirror, ITV insiders are highly refuted the claims, saying: 'Phillip's new comments are simply untrue, he is lying again." Instead, they claim he quit when the fallout of the conviction – combined with his 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a 19-year-old runner on This Morning – became too much. 'We stood by him through his brother's court case and he then stepped away when things became too much,' the source said. 'He then admitted himself he had been lying about an affair and he resigned from ITV altogether. 'We didn't sack him, he lied to us and then he resigned, there is not much else to say and we as a network just want to move on." 4 Molly was forced to hit back at cruel trolls after her dad returned to TV last October Credit: PA

Tom Hanks loses his mind after Francisco Lindor homers for Mets at star-studded Citi Field
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free There might be no crying in baseball, but that doesn't mean you can't show emotion. Because Tom Hanks was sure amazed by the Mets' offense on Tuesday night. Advertisement As Francisco Lindor capped off a four-run rally against the Diamondbacks in the second inning with a two-run homer, the Oscar-winning actor stood up in near-disbelief, clearly mouthing 'wow' as the ball barely cleared the wall — which was upheld upon official umpire review. The 68-year-old Hanks, donning a blue Mets cap, then put his hand on his head before waving his hand in the form of a home run signal as if he were a base umpire. Advertisement 3 Tom Hanks could not believe Francisco Lindor's home run. SNY Mets/X The 'A League of Their Own' actor is well-known for his baseball fandom, as he's had a presence at a few ballparks in just the past few years. During the COVID-shortened 2020 season, the A's had a cutout for Hanks, who was formerly a vendor at Oakland Coliseum. Hanks, two years later, threw out a first pitch with a Wilson volleyball at a Guardians game in a nod to the movie 'Cast Away.' Advertisement 3 Tom Hanks could not believe Francisco Lindor's home run. SNY Mets/X And, earlier this year, Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani's power wowed both Hanks and Rob Lowe in Los Angeles. And Hanks wasn't the only celebrity to watch the team with MLB's best record (20-9) on Tuesday. 3 Francisco Lindor celebrates after belting a wo-run home run during the second inning of the Mets' game against the Diamondbacks on April 29, 2025. Robert Sabo for NY Post Advertisement Singer-songwriter John Mayer threw out a first pitch before the proceedings, while 'Walking Dead' actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan each had their own tosses as well. Morgan and Mark Vientos also posed for pictures before the game with a barbed wire baseball bat. Director Judd Apatow — a noted celebrity Mets fan — was also taking in the opening game of the series.
