The outing sparked speculation that Fonda split from Elfman, who was previously accused of sexual abuse and harassment. In 2017, pianist Nomi Abadi claimed she was sexually harassed by the star, who she accused of stripping naked and masturbating in front of her. Elfman denied those claims; however, he reportedly settled the lawsuit she filed against him for $830,000 in 2018. 15 Bridget Fonda and Danny Elfman in 2002.

Her lawsuit accused Elfman of allegedly 'grooming' her when she was 21 and a student at the New York Film Academy in 1997. Elfman denied the accusations against him, with his spokesperson telling The Hollywood Reporter: 'The allegations of misconduct made against Mr. Elfman are baseless and absurd. His legal team is assessing all options and he will vigorously defend these claims in court.' 15 Danny Elfman at the 2023 Burbank International Film Festival.

Michael Fassbender says he blew his James Bond audition – by recommending Daniel Craig
Michael Fassbender blew any chance he might have had of playing 007 when he recommended another actor for the iconic role – Daniel Craig. Speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, released Thursday, the Irish actor recalled meeting with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and auditioning for the role. During the meeting, Fassbender dropped Craig's name into conversation. 'I don't know why I was promoting him, I should have been promoting myself,' he joked, though he also told podcast host Josh Horowitz that he never really believed himself to be 'in the mix' for the part. The month of March brings an influx of movies. Rick Damigella runs down ten films heading to theaters. Craig, who went on to make his debut as the MI6 spy in 'Casino Royale' in 2006, became the face of the Bond franchise for five films. 'Obviously, Daniel did a fantastic job,' said Fassbender, adding that he thinks Craig 'went on to be the most successful Bond in history.' The 'Inglourious Basterds' and '12 Years a Slave' star admitted that auditions haven't always been his strong suit. 'I was terrible at auditions,' he said of his Bond experience. Sharing another flashback to an audition gone wrong, Fassbender said he got lost on his way to an audition for 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' After arriving an hour late, he was 'not in the correct headspace' and described an 'excruciating' audition. The lead role ultimately went to Tom Hardy, who was two years below Fassbender in drama school. Asked if he thought there was any prospect of his playing Bond in the future, Fassbender was downbeat. 'I think it's over,' he said. But he didn't hesitate to make another recommendation for who could be next at the wheel of the famous Aston Martin, suggesting his 'Black Bag' co-star and 'Bridgerton' actor Regé-Jean Page could be a 'frontrunner' for the role. Fassbender still gets to be a spy, though, starring alongside Page and Cate Blanchett in 'Black Bag,' in which he plays a secret agent.
