He wrote: 'New Hair! New Normal! Dear Souzles, forgive the radio silence! Three weeks ago I broke my leg falling off my bike.' He credited 'very very kind people' who helped get him to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, as well as the team who looked after him once at A&E. 'You know who you are and I will never be able to repay you,' he commented. Praising the 'extraordinary team', he said: 'the gorgeous paramedics, doctors, nurses, domestic and administrative staff, all of whom made me feel so welcome and comfortable and safe. 'As it turned out, I had a tibial plateau fracture (more commonly known as bike leg) and needed an operation.' 'St Mary's is one of the best trauma centres on planet earth and so, naturally, there were lots of poor people with injuries far graver than mine queuing up for operations that needed doing quickly, which meant my mangled knee would have to wait a little bit before getting patched up,' he continued. 'And so it was that I ended up spending the most wonderful, inspiring, insightful, love-filled fortnight on St Mary's Valentine Ellis and Zachary Cope wards, waiting for my surgery!' Sebastian noted: 'I have never been treated with such kindness, care, respect, sensitivity and love, nor have I ever seen such professionalism and compassion shown so consistently by anyone to everyone, ever.' 'Thank God for @nhsengland @nhsenglandldn,' he said. 'As far as I'm concerned the NHS is the greatest institution ever invented and should be supported, protected and celebrated at all costs. Forever.' 7 The star made light of the situation, sharing a picture grabbing a pint in a pub Credit: Instagram 7 The actor is known for Skins, Normal People and Medici Credit: BBC Apologising for the long message, Sebastian went on to praise his family and friends for supporting him 'through this fascinating new chapter'.

I hope you gave your best Leslie Phillips from 'Carry on Nurse'' Another added: 'You 'll bounce back in no time Sending you lots of love' While a fan account for The Life List wrote: 'My sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery to you, beloved Sebastian!' 7 Sebastian praised the NHS for their "kindness, care, respect, sensitivity and love" Credit: Instagram 7 The actor waited two weeks for his operation Credit: Instagram

Elle Fanning Joins Hunger Games as Young Effie Trinket
We know Elle Fanning is going to be in highly anticipated projects like Death Stranding 2 and the next live-action Predator movie, but she's also signed up to be in one of the most prevalent movie franchises in modern day— The Hunger Games . As per the official announcement, Fanning has been cast in the role of Effie Trinket in the upcoming prequel Sunrise on the Reaping . Check out the post: Effie Trinket. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – in theaters November 20, 2026. — The Hunger Games (@TheHungerGames) May 20, 2025 The role of Effie was originally played by Elizabeth Banks in the films, and besides being the escort for Katniss and Peeta, she was also known for her lavish outfits—what with being a local of the Capitol. Although Effie did buy into the Hunger Games' system and the Capitol propaganda, she still ended up working for the rebellion and helping Katniss with her revolutionary image even after she left the Capitol stage. As for the prequel, Effie is said to be Haymitch's stylist when it comes to the Games. It's worth noting that Effie also has a younger sister Prosperina who appears in the book, but it's not clear if she will have a role in the movie yet. When it comes to the casting of Fanning, a lot of people think that she was a great choice. If you've watched her on The Great , you'll know that she's used to being in very intricate costumes—perfect for a character like Effie. The Sunrise cast continues to be filled up, and it's exciting to come back to another era of the franchise with a whole new batch of familiar characters. Catch The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping when it comes out Nov. 20, 2026.
