Harry Potter star Timothy Spall reveals how losing weight has changed his career and shares the one diet change he made to shed the pounds
Harry Potter star Timothy Spall has revealed how losing weight has changed his career. The actor, 68, has discussed his weight loss journey and told how he decided to shed the pounds for his role in 2015 horror The Enfield Haunting. Timothy, who famously played Peter Pettigrew/Wormtail in the wizarding franchise, revealed he was suddenly considered for parts he wouldn't have been before. Admitting it changed his career, Timothy also revealed the one major diet change he made in order to lose weight. 'I wanted to lose weight for a part in The Enfield Haunting, so I stopped drinking wine and that regulated my diet,' he told Saga magazine. 'The weight came off and I started to get parts I wouldn't have had before - funnily enough, I'm currently filming a Netflix movie directed by Kate Winslet called Goodbye June where I had to fatten up by wearing a strap-on belly.' The actor, 68, has discussed his weight loss journey and revealed how he was suddenly considered for parts he wouldn't have been before (pictured left in 2022 and right in 2006) Timothy also discussed his weight transformation back in 2019, revealing it felt 'liberating' to change his lifestyle. 'As a character actor, it's put me in a position where I'm not hobbled by being a certain shape. I'm no longer that avuncular round bloke,' he told The Radio Times. In his wide-ranging interview with Saga, Timothy also discussed being diagnosed with myeloid leukaemia - a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells - at the age of 39. He emotionally admitted he begged for God to 'spare him' and revealed there was a time when his family thought he wouldn't make it. 'The pain and the horror of what me dying would do to the people I loved was the only unbearable side of it, the rest I could take,' he bravely shared. Timothy has been married to his wife Shane since 1981 and they share three children - famed actor Rafe, 42, and daughters Pascale, 49, and Mercedes, 40. He has secured many major film credits throughout his career, including in 1996's Secrets and Lies, 2023's The Sixth Commandment and Wicked Little Letters. Timothy also secured the role of betrayer and rat animagus Wormtail in the Harry Potter franchise, appearing in six of the eight popular movies. He didn't appear in the first two instalments but made his debut appearance in The Prisoner of Azkaban, coinciding with the storyline of JK Rowling's novels. He then appeared in the subsequent films - The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows' Part 1 and Part 2. Despite his decades-long career, Timothy was only awarded his first BAFTA last year when he took home the prestigious Best Actor gong. He collected the accolade for his 'heart-wrenching' performance as murdered Peter Farquhar in The Sixth Commandment. Receiving his award at the Royal Festival Hall with a beaming smile on his face, he told the audience: 'Acting's a stupid thing, it really is. 'It's a soppy old thing really. Standing up, pretending to be somebody, p****ing around in costumes. 67 and you think, is this me - am I still doing this? 'But, the reality is, sometimes you get the chance to play people that have had a terrible thing happen to them and all they wanted was love and it's a beautiful thing to be able to tell a story about something like that. 'This story is about many things, it's about a terrible crime but it is also about love. We're privileged, especially when telling real stories about real lives, that people give you permission to do this. 'We're just storytellers really, when we can tell stories that are really touching and really affect people and it makes a difference and we can all share in this human condition, some of it horrible, some of it beautiful and some of it both. Admitting that he was overjoyed by the award, Peter, who was given the gong by Lashana Lynch, said: 'Even though acting is a silly, stupid thing, and the other actors in this are bl**dy brilliant and I am in owe of their talent. 'It's lovely, I've always wanted one of these - it's lovely to have one. I'll shut up now because I'm just drivelling on. But I'm just so pleased to be here, among you lot. We have quite a good life really don't we. Thank you very much.' Timothy previously quipped that he was always 'a bridesmaid and never the bride at these awards'. In 2014, after a win at Cannes Film Festival, he said: 'I've always been the bridesmaid at these awards. I've been nominated for BAFTA awards but never won.'

‘Squid Game' Powers Netflix in Heated Korean Streaming Wars as Tving Closes Gap, New Data Reveals
South Korea's premium streaming market demonstrated robust growth in 2024, with Netflix maintaining its leadership while homegrown platform Tving surged to nearly match its market share, according to new data from Media Partners Asia (MPA). The report reveals that Korean viewers streamed a whopping 131 billion minutes of premium VOD content last year, marking an 18% jump from 2023. The sector raked in $2 billion in revenue, up 14% year-over-year, as total subscriptions climbed to 22.9 million.

The two streaming giants collectively commanded 70% of total premium VOD viewership and snapped up 80% of new subscriptions in 2024. Netflix showed particular strength in the fourth quarter, capturing 39% of viewership thanks to 'Squid Game,' 'Culinary Class Wars,' and licensed titles such as 'The Tale of Lady OK' and 'Doubt.' The streamer also struck gold with a strategic partnership offering free, ad-supported viewing to Naver Plus members. Tving's impressive growth was fueled by an aggressive content strategy combining original productions, broadcast shows, variety programming and sports, all offered through a budget-friendly ad-supported tier. The platform ended 2024 with 5.2 million subscribers, trailing Netflix's estimated 8 million Korean subscribers. E-commerce giant Coupang's streaming arm, Coupang Play, emerged as a serious contender, closing out 2024 with 3.2 million subscribers. The platform gained ground through investments in local series and sports content. Local content proved king, with Korean dramas and variety shows dominating the year's top 15 titles. Netflix's 'Queen of Tears' topped the rankings, while Netflix and Tving together claimed 13 spots in the top 15, underscoring their content prowess and audience appeal. 'Netflix and Tving were the primary growth drivers in Korea's premium VOD market in 2024,' said Dhivya T, lead analyst and head of insights at MPA.

Kate Winslet to Make Directorial Debut with Netflix Movie "Goodbye June"
Yara Sameh Kate Winslet is set to make her directorial debut with with 'Goodbye June,' a contemporary family movie that is being produced for Netflix. Along with directing and producing the movie, Winslet will also star in it alongside Toni Collette, Johnny Flynn, Andrea Riseborough, Timothy Spall, and Helen Mirren. Kate Solomon is producing with Winslet, with Working Title as executive producers. Penned by Joe Anders, Winslet's son, the movie is set in present-day England and is described as 'touching, yet humorous' drama, which sees "a fractured group of siblings pull together under sudden and trying circumstances,' the synopsis reads. "Goodbye June" will go into production on location in the U.K. later this year. Although Winslet has never directed a film, she was highly involved in Ellen Kuras's 'Lee,' which she produced and starred in as American photographer Lee Miller. She was nominated alongside Solomon for outstanding British film at the BAFTA awards. While promoting "Lee" last fall on the How to Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day, Winslet explained how though she had resisted calls to direct, partly due to the time commitment involved, she now felt a sense of 'urgency' and responsibility to women in Hollywood to step behind the camera. 'So many people will say to me on film sets, people I work with and know well, whether it's an actor or a crew member, they will say, 'Why aren't you directing?' and I'll go 'No, no, no, please don't say it. Stop saying it. Why does everyone keep saying it?'' she explained. 'But the more I'm not doing it now, with the need to change the culture, the more I feel like I'm actually letting down other women by not doing it. I'm really starting to feel that in quite a loud way.' The "Titanic" actress added of female directors, 'The more of us that are doing it, the more will be inspiring others to do it.' And Winslet said she felt ready to helm a film because she now understands the technical side of filmmaking. 'There's no way I'm ever going to do something unless I really know how to do it properly,' she said. In addition to "Lee", Winslet most recently starred in the HBO limited series "The Regime", for which she also received a Golden Globe nomination, earning the rare distinction of being nominated for multiple roles at the same ceremony. She won the best actress Oscar in 2009 for her role in "The Reader".
