Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Disney's Pixar studios hit a milestone with the multi-award-winning Finding Nemo, which became a cherished part of many childhoods thanks to its groundbreaking animation. The film follows Marlin's quest to find his missing son, taking him on an adventure through and beyond the ocean, meeting a host of characters voiced by a star-studded cast. But what has happened to the cast of Finding Nemo more than 20 years after its 2003 release? Albert Brooks - Marlin Taking the role as the lead character, Marlin, Brooks voices the clownfish in his desperate search for his son. Outside of Finding Nemo, Brooks is no stranger to voice acting, he's picked up credits on The Secret Life of Pets and various roles on The Simpsons over the years. He came back in 2016 to reprise his role in Finding Dory, but outside animation, he appeared in some big-budget films. He's picked up credits in Taxi Driver, Drive and Concussion, but now, aged 77, has dialled his appearances back slightly.

Ellen DeGeneres - Dory (Image: AFP via Getty Images) Bringing her a memorable performance to the forgetful Dory, DeGeneres picked up a few other acting credits during her career but became much more famous from her wildly popular talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired across 19 seasons with 3294 episodes. The show wrapped up in 2022, but after being "cancelled" for allegations that she created a toxic workplace on her show and the star moved to the Cotswolds for a quieter life alongside her wife, Portia De Rossi. The pair are thought to live in the same village as Jeremy Clarkson and are known to drop into his pub in the quiet Oxfordshire village. Alexander Gould - Nemo (Image: Sipa/REX/Shutterstock) Just nine when he voiced the film's title character Nemo, but now, more than 20 years later, he has taken a step back from acting. After the Pixar classic, the former child star picked up a role in the comedy TV series Weeds, but when that came off the air in 2012, Gould was now 18 when he chose to attend college over continuing to pursue acting. In Finding Dory, he picked up a cameo as delivery truck driver, Carl, but was recast as the lead role. Speaking on Good Morning America, Gould said: "People ask me to do the voice and then I have to explain that I was, you know, 9 years old and my voice has changed a little bit since then." Willem Dafoe - Gill (Image: Getty Images for BAFTA) Dafoe played the wise, old and crafty fish Gill, stuck in a dentist's fish tank, and Nemo finds himself stranded in it. Since his smaller role in the film, Dafoe has gone on to become one of the most recognisable actors of the past few decades. He has earned four Oscar nominations for his roles in Platoon, Shadow of the Vampire, The Florida Project and At Eternity's Gate, but also gained fame for his parts as the Green Goblin in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films. Geoffrey Rush - Nigel Playing the lovable and extremely Australian pelican, Nigel, the Oscar-winner went under the radar and marked a much more casual role for the award-winning actor. He may be best known for his roles as Shakespeare in Love, Quills, The King's Speech and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Joe Ranft - Jacques The writer and voice actors played the lovable and eccentric French shrimp who is obsessed with the fish tank's hygiene. Known more for his writing talents, Ranft played a big part in the creation of Toy Story, for which he also earned an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. He also helped write the story for A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 and Cars. The writer was killed in a car accident in 2005, with the Pixar film he was working on becoming dedicated to his memory. Andrew Stanton - Crush Stanton was the director and co-writer of the original film, but also picked up a voice-acting role as the surfer-dude sea turtle crush. In his 20 years since the film he directed, Wall-E, Finding Dory, as well as a host of TV episodes. He remains at the studio where he is now the Creative Vice President.

Rosie O'Donnell moved for 'safety and sanity'
Rosie O'Donnell "needed" to leave the US for the "safety and sanity" of herself and her youngest child. The 62-year-old comedienne revealed last month that she and her youngest child Clay, 12, had relocated to Ireland earlier this year after Donald Trump was re-elected as president and they couldn't be happier in their new home of Howth on the outskirts of Dublin. She told Us Weekly magazine: 'I know myself enough to know that this was something I needed to do for the safety and sanity of myself and my non-binary child... "There's a great, great school there. And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming. 'And I love the little town, the little village. It's in the heart of Dublin, but it's still a village where you know the name of the grocer and you know the name of the cashiers. People are unbearably kind in a way that shocks me every single day.' Rosie - who is also the adoptive mother of Parker, 29, Chelsea, 27, Blake, 25, and 22-year-old Vivienne - has found one part of relocating that has been "very hard" is no longer being able to regularly participate in group calls with her closest friends because of the time difference, but she's doing her best to stay in regular contact. She said: 'It's been very hard because of the time zone for me to participate in that. And I really miss that. 'I call my kids, I FaceTime my kids. I have two best friends, Junie and Jackie, since I [was] three years old. They're really like sisters. And I talk to them all the time. I have two brothers I'm very close to. I talk to them all the time.' Fellow comic Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have moved to England as a result of the political climate in the US and Rosie admitted she was "shocked" by the 'Finding Dory' star's move. She said: 'I've never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually. "I've been a political person my whole life, not better or worse, it's just a different way to be in the world. I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving, and I don't think it came as a surprise to anyone. "We're not really in each other's worlds, and it's been kind of awkward but you know what? I wish her the best. I wish that she has peace and love in her life and that she is OK.' Although there is still unresolved "stuff" between herself and Ellen, Rosie - who previously accused the former talk show host of claiming she didn't know who she was - doesn't bear any "malice" towards her. She said: 'I don't want to fight against another gay woman. It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people. "We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved. And not in any way as, as partners or lovers or anything like that, just as friends and comedians, but I wish her the best. I seriously do."

50 Hilariously Inappropriate Photos That Scream "You're Going To Hell If You Laugh At These!"
Shame, shame, shame! Clicking on an article with such a sinful title — what are you, Satan with a Wi-Fi connection? I'm Enid Strict, the Church Lady. And I suggest you close this filth and open a Bible. Still here? Well, isn't that special. Go ahead and yuck it up then — just don't come crying to me on Judgement Day when you wake up somewhere a little warmer than you'd hoped. 1. Oh! Look at you! Surely giggling like a schoolboy at a harmless typo because — gasp — it sounds SEXUAL! 2. I bet the photo on the left also made you howl, didn't it? Well, it is simply a noble knight atop his valiant steed. But keep cackling, heathens! 3. And anyone who sees anything other than a calendar note about Jack and John being off for the day — probably at church, unlike some people — is a sinner! 4. This one made you chuckle, did it? Well, it's just the Danish word for "end." You know the word "end" — it's what you need to park in a pew this Sunday! 5. And let me guess — you howled at the end of the Danish version of Finding Dory too. How precious. 6. I don't know what offends me more — you giggling at the name of a Nobel Prize-winning chemist like some 8th-grade delinquent, or disrespecting the Happy Birthday song... a sacred tune penned by God-fearing church ladies! 7. I don't even want to know how many rosaries I'll need to do to scrub this one from my soul. But have your little giggle! 8. And I bet you're the type to howl at seeing this whale relieve itself in the tank at SeaWorld... ...and then splash all that defecation-filled water onto the innocent crowd! 9. Ohhh, you think this is funny? A child — a child! — making comments about his parents'... intimacies? 10. This poor man didn't think through his new trucking company's name before ordering a truckload of merch... and you're sitting there giggling like a little demon! 11. Well! I'm sure I don't know what this little diorama is supposed to be… although my hellbound nephew says it has something to do with — and I quote — a" backroom casting couch porno." Isn't that special? 12. A young man jokingly using his computer voice to humiliate his own mother in public is supposed to be funny now, is it? 13. I won't comment on this filth.

But you didn't care, did you? You just laughed and laughed. 14. Enjoy your pixels of perversion, you godless little gremlins! 15. Such filth indeed! Hands have no business being anywhere near the bosom! 16. Oh my! I bet you'd even laugh at this sweet little 10-year-old girl, who, upon shopping for her first bra, saw this and asked her mother, "Bras need to be charged?" 17. A blind man tried to take a photo of something weird on his elbow to send to his friend, but took this instead. I bet that amuses you. You and Satan. 18.
