Richard Kind Gets Candid About Body Image After Being Teased for Being Overweight as a Kid: 'In My Head, I'm a Fat Person'
Richard Kind is looking back at his childhood and getting candid about body image The Curb Your Enthusiasm star, 68, opened up in a new interview with CBS News Sunday Morning about what he used as a coping mechanism while growing up as a "fat" kid "Still a fat kid even to this day. I'll never be a thin person… In my head, I'm a fat, fat person," Kind said of his mindset all these years laterRichard Kind is getting candid about body image and how he learned to "laugh at myself" after being teased as a child. The 68-year-old actor, known for his work in Curb Your Enthusiasm and beyond, revealed in a new interview with CBS News Sunday Morning that he was teased growing up as an overweight boy. 'I was a fat kid,' Kind said. 'I bet I was a loser. I might have made fun of me." Now years later, Kind shared that it was a friend at summer camp who taught him what he said was "absolutely" a coping mechanism. As he explained, his friend — also overweight — encouraged him to "laugh at myself." "He was a fat kid, too, who then lost weight. I eventually lost weight," the actor said. "Still a fat kid even to this day. I'll never be a thin person… In my head, I'm a fat, fat person." Elsewhere in his conversation with CBS News Sunday Morning's Jon LaPook, Kind opened up about his place in television and film — as the announcer on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney, in Only Murders in the Building and even on the cast of Sharknado 2. As he put it, he's grateful to be in the room with other stars. "I am parsley on a plate of meat and potatoes," he joked. "Now, I'm good. I look great there. I'm the freshest parsley! But they're meat and potatoes. What do I do? I help make the plate look great."

That's what I usually do," he added. "But I can be cut out. I'm just not necessary all the time. And I'm fine, fine, fine with that. I've made a career of it, haven't I?" Along the way, Kind also made friends with George Clooney. He recently discussed their longtime friendship on the June 9 episode of the Still Here Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko, emphasizing Clooney's reputation as a prankster in the movie business. Asked to share some stories, Kind replied, 'But you will not hear them from me. You won't hear them from me for a couple of reasons. No. 1, George gets all the publicity he needs. I need a little more. So that's the first thing. The second thing is nobody tells them funnier than George.' Still, Kind called out his pal — whom he met while working on a failed '80s TV pilot — for a practical joke he'd 'forgotten' until recently. 'One night, years ago, I have to go to Vegas for some publicity,' Kind recalled, noting that he was staying at Clooney's old Los Angeles home at the time. 'I have my suitcase downstairs and [I'm] waiting for the car to come.' 'George, who had been in the kitchen or something like that, sits down at the foot of the stairs, and we're just chatting. We're gabbing,' Kind recalled. 'And I say, 'Oh, I forgot something,' and I go upstairs to get something. I come back downstairs, and then the car comes, and the guy who's driving the car takes the bag, and he puts it into the trunk, and I get driven to Burbank Airport, I think.' It wasn't until Kind went through airport security that Clooney's prank came to fruition. 'They pull me aside and they go, 'Sir, could you come here, please?' And I go, 'Yeah.' And he opens up the suitcase, and there's an Oscar and a SAG award that George put in my suitcase as we were waiting to go, and I have to schlep.' 'It's a good practical joke,' Kind added.

Bill Belichick playing ‘second fiddle' to Jordon Hudson as UNC debut nears: College football insider
It's the Jordon and Bill show in Chapel Hill — in that order. College football analyst Paul Finebaum said Bill Belichick is playing 'second fiddle' to 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson while he closes in on his college football coaching debut. 'Also, there's Bill Belichick, anybody heard of this guy?' Finebaum said on 'First Take' on Friday while previewing the ACC. 'He's only the most-famous NFL coach of all time this side of Vince Lombardi, but lately he's played second fiddle to his girlfriend. I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but I am.' 3 Bill Belichick (r) and Jordon Hudson (l) during the infamous 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview. CBS It's certainly hard to separate Belichick and Hudson since the duo has gone public, and Hudson has made plenty of headlines on her own. While 'CBS Sunday Morning' interviewed Belichick in April about his book, Hudson became the focus after she shut down questions about how the pair met. That led to a back-and-forth between the network and ex-Patriots coach. There has also been controversy about whether North Carolina banned Hudson from the facilities — the school has said no — accusations of Hudson attempting to hijack a Dunkin' Donuts Super Bowl commercial and recent bickering with Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday. 3 Paul Finebaum on 'First Take' on July 11. @FirstTake/X All the off-the-field headlines are contrary to how Belichick operated during his Patriots tenure, with several of his ex-players even noting how he would tell the team to limit distractions. The constant headlines have only heightened the anticipation for his first season coaching in the collegiate ranks, which begins Sept. 1 at home against TCU. 3 Belichick and Hudson have often been in the spotlight. AP The Tar Heels' Over/Under is set at 7.5 wins at DraftKings, with plus-odds to the Over. Some of North Carolina's high-profile games include an Oct. 4 home game against defending conference champion Clemson and an Oct. 31 road game at Syracuse. 'And that is a story that is really intriguing everyone. How does he do on the field?' Finebaum said. 'Mack Brown did not leave a great cupboard in Chapel Hill and I think Belichick has recruited well. Can he navigate the nuances of college football, that is really the question?'

Starmer says ‘death to IDF' chants at Glastonbury were ‘appalling hate speech'
Sir Keir Starmer said chants of 'death' to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 'appalling hate speech' and urged the BBC to explain how the scenes were broadcast. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, on Saturday led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF', before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance. Responding to the chants from Bob Vylan, the Prime Minister said: 'There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. 'I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said Bob Vylan's chants 'very much crossed a line' and added: 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Wes Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips: 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.' On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' Liberal Democrat culture, media and sport spokesman Max Wilkinson said: 'Bob Vylan's chants at Glastonbury yesterday were appalling. Cultural events are always a place for debate, but hate speech, antisemitism and incitements to violence have no place at Glastonbury or anywhere in our society.' The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. A spokesperson said: 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums with their music addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan's real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports. Robinson-Foster is listed on Companies House as being the director of Ghost Theatre Records, which is operated by Bob Vylan. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage with O hAnnaidh exclaiming 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Sir Keir said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During the performance, Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' He also said a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up. A BBC spokesperson said: 'We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. 'We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts stage. As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings.'
