Logan Lerman hails 'talented and good-looking' co-star Brad Pitt
Logan Lerman thinks Brad Pitt is the "coolest-looking person" he's ever met. The 33-year-old actor first met Brad, 61, during his childhood, and he relished starring alongside him in Fury, the 2014 war film. Logan told Interview magazine: "I met Brad when I was a little kid as a fan at a restaurant. He was in full leather pants, leather button-up, just the coolest-looking person I'd ever seen in my life. Then we worked together and became friends. "It's nice when you meet people you admire and they are not fussy and particular. They just want to make something great. I've worked with some people, who shall remain nameless, that aren't like that." Logan has worked with some "obnoxious people" during his career - but he insists that Brad was friendly and professional. The movie star said: "I will not [name them], but wouldn't it be fun if I just started bashing all the obnoxious people I've worked with? But Brad was so giving." Logan recalled being blown away by Brad's talent and good looks, too. He added: "You're just like, 'What the hell?' And he's humble." Meanwhile, Logan recently joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building and the actor admitted that he found the show's set to be "oddly fun". Logan stars in season five of the hit TV show, and the actor revealed that he relished the experience of working with the likes of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Speaking to People, he explained: "It's an oddly fun set to be on." The actor admitted that "sometimes, sets are not that enjoyable". However, he hailed the Only Murders set for being "a really good one". He shared: "It's so great. That's a really fun show to work on. I had a really good time." Despite this, Logan is determined to remain tight-lipped about his on-screen character. The actor doesn't want to ruin any surprises for fans of the murder mystery show. He said: "I don't want to ruin anything, but I'm excited for people to see it."

Tyson Fury's dad John urges son to stay retired following major U-turn
Tyson Fury has been training recently and has confirmed he will be coming out of retirement to face Oleksandr Usyk for a third time next year and his dad John has had his say John Fury would prefer to see his son Tyson stay retired following the boxing legend's recent change of heart. Back in January, Tyson Fury declared his surprising retirement from boxing after suffering consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. Nevertheless, he has since hinted at a possible comeback by sharing numerous videos of himself running and working out in the gym. This month, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh confirmed Fury will return to competition. "The 'Gypsy King' will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt!" he posted. Fury subsequently revealed that he will face Usyk for a third encounter - with the bout scheduled to take place next April. The 36-year-old took to Instagram and shared a fight poster featuring both himself and the Ukrainian, accompanied by the caption: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." Whilst the 'Gypsy King' appears to be preparing for a boxing return, his father wishes his son would remain retired. Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said: "People want to see the Gypsy King, but I would rather him stay retired. He's done his bit for the boxing world. He still loves his fans and he thanks them all very much for what they've done, but it's only my opinion only I'd like to see him stay retired," reports All Out Fighting. Fury Sr recognises that fans are eager to witness the Brit return to action, but the 60-year-old remains firm in his stance. "Health, and he's got a family, he's other commitments apart from boxing," he continued. "He's done what he has to do in boxing, as far as I'm concerned, and he's got a lot of young children he wants to be a father to, and he wants to be a healthy father, not somebody that's ended up an imitation or one, you know. "So it's health before wealth. He's got the wealth, he's got everything else, he just needs to calm down and concentrate on what's important." Regarding his return, Fury informed supporters at a BoxFest event prior to Daniel Dubois ' clash with Usyk that he is anticipating his comeback. "For sure. I am open to offers at the moment. I am not going to do any comebacks this year. That is a fact. I have been busy. As you can see, I have got Netflix here. I am filming 'At Home With The Furys! Season 2," he said. "And next year, the big 'G K' is going to make a f****** comeback. The takeover! I am going to be 37 in about three weeks so I am going to be the oldest swinger in town. With all these young boys coming up, it is going to be difficult, but I believe I can put on some very good nights still." As for who he wishes to fight, despite being open to offers, he will not face both Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker. The two-time heavyweight champion has trained with both men in the past and shares a close bond with Parker. "They are my two brothers," Fury expressed. "They are both lovely guys and they are both future world heavyweight champions. Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker... he has been a champion before so he knows what it is about. I wish them all the very best in the world and I won't fight either man for any amount of money because some things ain't worth fighting for." When will Tyson Fury step into the ring next? Fury is expected to make his comeback next year, despite rumours of a clash with Usyk. Alalshikh is keen to arrange a bout between the 'Gypsy King' and Anthony Joshua. During a recent stint on 'The Boxing Voice,' Alalshikh disclosed that both fighters would need to participate in tune-up fights first before facing each other. "Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury next year, we are trying to do it and we are thinking about it," he stated. "Why? Because they are both coming off losses. It's to build it up." Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, recently gave an update on his star client's future and revealed that the Brit has reversed his decision to retire. In a chat with talkSPORT, he shared: "He's been talking about it a little bit. Some calls took place and there's an agreement made, that's all I can tell you at the moment." The 73-year-old added: "He has retired, up until he said he was coming back. Look, Frank Sinatra retired a lot. Like I've said to you before if that's how [Tyson] feels in the moment, that's how he feels. We'll see what happens, but he feels he wants it fight Usyk again."

Gladiators Butlin's future decided following licensing rights row
In March, photos of the Gladiators were taken off the Butlin's website Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GLADIATORS will not return to holiday camp Butlin's next year following a licensing rights row. Stars from the hit BBC game show were forced to compete in black tracksuits rather than their usual on-screen costumes when they headlined in March. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Gladiators will not return to holiday camp Butlin's next year following a licensing rights row Credit: BBC 3 Gladiators from left: Comet, Fury, Apollo, Dynamite, Legend, Diamond, Athena, Giant, Apollo, Sabre, Phantom, Viper, Nitro, Bionic, Electro, Fire Credit: BBC Stages for the Meet the Stars of Gladiators experience were also free of the usual logos and branding at the resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness. A source said: 'Gladiators won't be coming back for 2026 and will be replaced by another headliner. 'The licensing row was a headache — and bosses have decided that it is best to make room for a new act next summer. 'Fans were excited to see the Gladiators but many were left disappointed to find out they were in black tracksuits for some of the performances.' Hungry Bear Media, owned by telly host Holly Willoughby's husband Dan Baldwin, makes Gladiators for the BBC, and is said to have agreed the deal with Butlin's. However it only holds TV rights in the UK while US entertainment giant MGM owns the original format and branding worldwide. In March, photos of the Gladiators were taken off the Butlin's website. But the stars, who are due to appear at the resorts over the summer holidays and in October, have since reappeared in full costume, including Dynamite. A Butlin's spokesman said: 'Meet the Stars of Gladiators are performing as scheduled, and we have not dropped them. 'Our contract was a one-year deal and we're looking forward to having them at all three resorts this summer and for October half-term. "We've got an exciting line-up of new headliners for 2026.' This holiday park is like Center Parcs, Haven and Butlin's in one
