'After 18 years together, Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have decided to separate by mutual agreement,' said a statement released by their representatives. 'This decision was made with mutual respect,' it added. Oscar winner Cotillard frequently collaborated on projects with Canet since their relationship began in 2007, including the 2010 comedy-drama 'Little White Lies' (Les Petits Mouchoirs). Cotillard, 49, and Canet, 52, who share two children together, said they hoped to avoid 'speculation, rumour, and misinterpretation' with the announcement. 'By being transparent through this statement, Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet also express their desire for their private lives, and especially that of their two children, to be respected,' the statement said. Cotillard, one of the best-known faces of French cinema, won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Edith Piaf in 'La Vie en Rose' in 2008. Canet, who is also an actor, is best known to international audiences for his role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 2000's 'The Beach'.--AFP

Tom Cruise spotted on roof of London's BFI IMAX ahead of ‘Mission: Impossible' release
Superstar Tom Cruise was photographed on Sunday afternoon standing on the roof of the BFI IMAX building in London. The unexpected sighting comes just a day before he is set to receive the prestigious BFI Fellowship, the British Film Institute's highest honour, on Monday. The actor, in town for the event, appeared to take a moment away from formalities for the unanticipated stunt. The BFI IMAX is currently wrapped in a massive advertisement for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment in the long-running action franchise. While it's not confirmed whether Cruise's rooftop moment was part of a publicity stunt, sources close to the actor confirmed it was indeed him.
