6 things to know about Pom Klementieff, the silent breakout star of ‘Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning'
After wrapping one of the more demanding shoots in Mission: Impossible history, Tom Cruise gave Klementieff a personalised parachute rig. She had trained in skydiving alongside Cruise and some friends, and received her skydiving license after the required 25 jumps. She recently revealed on Fallon Tonight that she's done 233 jumps to date. 3. Her acting roots are French Born in Quebec but raised in France, Klementieff trained at the prestigious Cours Florent drama school in Paris. Before Hollywood came calling, she appeared in several French films, honing her craft in a range of genres from psychological drama to offbeat comedy. 4. She's no stranger to franchise fame While Mission: Impossible introduced her to a new audience, Klementieff is already familiar to fans of blockbuster cinema. She gained international attention as Mantis in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, where her awkward, empathic alien stood in stark contrast to the ruthless Paris. 5. Silence was a creative choice Although the some critics have raised concerns about Paris's near-wordless presence in Mission: Impossible, claiming it reinforces feminine Asian stereotypes, the choice was an artistic one, and it was deliberate. Klementieff and McQuarrie worked to strip the character's dialogue to the bare minimum, letting her body language and expressions carry the story. The result: a performance that was all tension and unpredictability. 6. Fashion is her personal playground Off-screen, Klementieff has carved a reputation for her bold fashion choices. A fixture on red carpets from Cannes to Seoul, she mixes edgy couture with unexpected accessories. Her style reflects her approach to acting: risk-taking, unorthodox and never dull.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Rory McIlroy donned his brand new green jacket for the first time in public when he appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday. The reigning Masters champion had the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics and even gave the host, who is a huge fan of the sport, a golf lesson. One of the highlights of the show was a video clip rescued by producers of an 8-year-old McIlroy demonstrating how he used to practice his chipping by using his mother's washing machine as a target. Fallon arranged for the two to recreate the scene on set and compete to see who could do it better. "As a Masters champion, I should not lose to you," McIlroy joked. The competition was for the first to get three balls into the washing machines. The Northern Irishman needed only four balls to complete the challenge (the fourth was a close call), earning a standing ovation from the audience. .@McIlroyRory and Jimmy go head-to-head chipping golf balls into washing machines like Rory used to do as a kid 🤣 #FallonTonight — The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) May 2, 2025 Ahead of this unique golfing challenge, McIlroy and Fallon discussed the significance of the Masters Tournament victory. The title gave the five-time major champion the Grand Slam of golf, which stands out among the achievements of his career: "Six people ever have achieved the Grand Slam in golf," McIlroy said. "Only four of us are living. You know, Gary Player is 90 years old, Jack (Nicklaus) is 85 or 86, then there's Tiger and myself. It's really cool to be a part of." The 29-time PGA Tour winner described some of the ins and outs of his victory, including how he spent his time away from competition.

Matthew Tkachuk recaps 4 Nations Face-Off with Jimmy Fallon: ‘I truly believe in our team'
Nobody's going to mistake Jimmy Fallon for Doc Emrick, but even the Tonight Show host sounded a little stunned when recalling an interview in which Matthew Tkachuk called the 4 Nations Face-Off final the biggest game he's ever played in. 'You won the Stanley Cup,' Fallon told Tkachuk during Monday's show. 'This was bigger?' Advertisement Tkachuk didn't take it back. 'It really was such a big tournament, such a huge stage, something that I'll never forget,' the Florida Panthers and Team USA star said. 'The thing that I'm most proud of with that team was how much pride we showed representing our country and being American and being so lucky to represent this great country.' Sidelined with an injury suffered at the 4 Nations tournament, Tkachuk took a trip to New York to be on Fallon's show while the Panthers flew to Nashville for a Tuesday night game. Tkachuk didn't have a noticeable limp and said he's 'feeling better, just recovering right now.' Wearing an all-black suit with a black quarter-zip underneath, Tkachuk played it pretty straight, repeatedly mentioning how proud he was to finally get a chance to represent the United States on the international stage. 'It's been 10 years since the last international opportunity (and) this is my ninth year in the league, so I've gotten the short end of the stick on that,' Tkachuk said (though his math was a little off, with the last best-on-best tournament coming at the 2016 World Cup). 'Myself and all the guys that were in this were just so jacked up for it, and I think that's why you saw the fights at the beginning of the game against Canada. Guys wanted to get their anger out of the way.' Tkachuk noted that both he and his brother, Ottawa Senators star Brady Tkachuk, were involved in the instantly iconic three fights in nine seconds to open the round-robin game between the two rivals. 'Dad was proud, huh?' Fallon said. 'I think he was pretty proud,' Tkachuk responded. Fallon had a picture of Keith Tkachuk crying at the end of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last June. Tkachuk drew some 'awwws' from the crowd when he said handing the Cup to Keith — who never won a championship in his 18-year career — during the on-ice celebration was 'one of the most special moments of my life.' Advertisement Brady was in that photo, too. 'My brother was crying there, too,' Tkachuk said. 'I haven't seen him cry since playing mini-sticks in the basement, throwing him through the walls.' The @NHL is a family affair for @TKACHUKycheese_ 🏒 #FallonTonight #4Nations — The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) February 25, 2025 Fallon mentioned three times over the course of the show that 'over 16 million people' watched the final, a number that includes the Canadian audience. Fallon then brought up the Milano Cortina Olympics next February, and while Tkachuk was careful to point out how many countries have rosters loaded with stars, he obviously likes the Americans' chances. 'I truly believe in our team,' he said. 'We got so close with this tournament, looking at next year being a chance at redemption. I truly believe in our chances. Wearing the USA crest there's nothing like it — we have so much pride in it, and we'll be ready to go.' Fallon closed the four-minute segment by inviting Tkachuk back. 'Next time I see you,' Fallon said, 'there'll be gold around your neck.'

Saquon Barkley gifts each of his linemen a truck full of beer
Saquon Barkley gifts each of his linemen a truck full of beer originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia We have seen how great a running back Saquon Barkley is, after having one of the most prolific seasons in league history, and helping his team to a Super Bowl championship. This week, he is also cementing himself as one of the all-time great teammates, at least in the eyes of the big men who block for him. He gifted the offensive linemen each a tricked-out golf cart for Christmas, in return for paving the way for his 2,000-plus yard season. Earlier this week, Barkley and teammate Jalen Hurts were invited on the Tonight Show, and the Eagles' offensive line made a surprise appearance, even shotgunning a beer with Barkley and host Jimmy Fallon. The @Eagles offensive line join @JalenHurts, @saquon, and Jimmy to shotgun celebratory beers in honor of their @SuperBowl LIX victory! #FallonTonight #SBLIX #FlyEaglesFly — The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) February 12, 2025 But why stop at sharing just one beer with his teammates? Today Barkley awarded each of his offensive linemen a beer truck, full of Bud Light. A pallet of Bud Light it loaded with 90 cases of Bud Light, with each case holding 24 cans. That's 2,160 cans, or nearly one for every yard Barkley gained in the regular season. Saquon Barkley with @budlight has gifted each of his offensive linemen a truckload of Bud Light. Each lineman gets a truck of beer. Bud Light tomorrow for parade day will be Bird Light Saquon also told the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon if he was gonna go on the show Monday… — John Clark (@JClarkNBCS) February 13, 2025 That many beverages will take quite a while to polish off, even if you shotgunned a few. Just another reason to raise a toast to our favorite running back, and the men up front that help him shine.
