Funny Comedy Sketch Imagines Hollywood Red Carpet Interviews if They Were Honest — GeekTyrant
Imagine a red carpet where the glitter fades and the truth hits like a spilled mimosa. That's exactly what this hilarious new comedy sketch from Ryan George delivers. Ditching the rehearsed charm and phony modesty, it reimagines Hollywood red carpet interviews as brutally honest trainwrecks. The host is a painfully unqualified social media influencer. Among the interviewees, there's a desperate action star fighting age with collagen and chaos, a TikTok influencer turned 'fashion mogul' who's one missed payment away from a lawsuit, and a washed-up teen idol dressed like a Spirit Halloween mannequin, insisting it's couture. It's chaotic, sharp, and it's an amusing Hollywood roast that will give you a laugh.

‘Falling to bits': Tom Hardy's devastating health update
Tom Hardy says his body is 'falling to bits' now that he's middle-aged. The Dark Knight Rises actor, 47, discussed all of his latest ailments in a recent interview with Esquire. 'I got dizzy today,' he told the outlet. 'I took a Sudafed and it's starting to work, so I feel better, but in the interviews I was sitting there, and you know when you feel not right, but you can't tell someone you don't feel right?' He then joked about potentially passing out during the interview before explaining the other health burdens he's been dealing with — after years as an action star. 'I've had two knee surgeries now, my disc's herniated in my back, I've got sciatica as well,' he shared. 'And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? And why? Why?!' Hardy added that he also pulled a tendon in his hip. 'It's like, it's all falling to bits now, and it's not going to get better,' he said. The Inception star then reflected on some of the medical advances he is open to exploring. When asked if he would consider doing stem cell treatment, he replied, 'Probably, yeah.' 'I think if it comes down to the wire and it seems the sensible thing to do and I take advice,' he continued, before diving into other medical things, including custom homoeopathic treatments like 'tinctures.' 'This is the biopsy of where we're at: two vapes, somebody else's clothes, and a hotel room that neither of us feels comfortable in!' he told the reporter, referring to their sit-down at a swanky hotel. Despite his struggles, Hardy has stayed committed to keeping up with his fitness by doing jiu-jitsu. 'I did the posturing bit of boxing and hitting mitts, and trying to be a bloke,' he said. 'But ultimately I was sort of scared of blokes, because there's so many of them, and there's always one stronger than you.' He continued, 'You know, somehow you're supposed to be able to look after yourself in this wicked world, but in a numbers game it's not possible to be the strongest. So eventually I was like, 'Just have a go, who cares who wins.' And of course I care who wins, but you spend the first couple of years trying to forget it. You're not winning anything. It's very humiliating, in the right way.' Hardy, who earned his purple belt, called the martial art 'a submission sport.' 'It's about stopping your opponent. They submit to defeat, or you choke them, shutting off the carotid artery so the blood doesn't go to the brain,' he explained. 'But once you isolate a limb — an arm or a leg — and put pressure through the joint, and it's correctly applied, you needn't go any further. It's a fait accompli. It's done. You are done. Only your ego will take you any further.'

Keanu Reeves, 60, pulls up to John Wick event in a motorcycle he made with his Arch company
Keanu Reeves was every inch the action star as he arrived at an event for his upcoming John Wick documentary Wick Is Pain. The movie pulls back the curtain on the rollercoaster behind-the-scenes process of bringing the original movie to the screen in 2014. After clearing a string of dizzying hurdles - including running out of money a day before production started and being saved by a $6 million investment by Eva Longoria - the film blossomed into a billion-dollar franchise. Wick Is Pain premiered at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles this Thursday, and Keanu, 60, was seen rolling up to the event in style. He was glimpsed showing up on a motorcycle, from his very own company Arch that he launched in 2011. The star was wearing an Alpinestars jacket and a scarlet scarf that popped against his otherwise black ensemble. After its screening in Los Angeles this Thursday, the documentary will be released on Friday on video-on-demand and digital platforms. On the personal front, Keanu is still happily involved with visual artist Alexandra Grant, 52, whom he was seen out to lunch with last month. Alexandra and Keanu first became acquainted at a dinner party in 2009 and collaborated on two art books together before going red carpet official in 2019. However in the intervening years they have tended to guard their privacy and rarely discussed details of their relationship in public. Alexandra found herself at the business end of an internet frenzy when she went red carpet official with Keanu at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in early November 2019. 'I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating,' she told British Vogue a few months later. When she was asked in 2020 about the prospect of marriage, she said: 'Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How's that for dodging the question?' She added: 'I do not believe that isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships.' By the time they went red carpet official, they had been friends for around a decade and it had been reported that Keanu wanted the romance out in the open. The movie pulls back the curtain on the rollercoaster behind-the-scenes process of bringing the original movie to the screen in 2014 They first collaborated in 2011 on Keanu's book Ode To Happiness, which she illustrated. The project marked her first book as an artist and his first as a writer. They worked together again on the actor's 2016 book Shadows, to which Alexandra once again contributed the artwork. She is his first known girlfriend since Jennifer Syme, who died in a car accident in 2001 less than four months after delivering her and Keanu's stillborn baby. In 2010 a photograph surfaced of the Matrix star sitting glumly on a park bench, resulting in the wildly viral 'Sad Keanu' meme. When the meme took off there was much speculation that his expression was connected to the shattering losses he had undergone in the past decade. However in a 2021 interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Keanu dished that he actually looked forlorn in the picture because he was feeling peckish. 'Man, I'm eating a sandwich!' the movie star said of the picture. 'I was thinking. I had some stuff going on. I was hungry.'
