Daniel Radcliffe hits The Pages of OUT magazine

via glooce

Why the star of the upcoming movie 'Kill Your Darlings' insisted on a proper audition



When John Krokidas, the director of Beat-genesis movie Kill Your Darlings, approached Daniel Radcliffe to gauge his interest in playing Allen Ginsberg, he was struck by Radcliffe’s humility. Although a marquee name whose involvement could guarantee the investment necessary to make the film, Radcliffe nevertheless insisted on a proper audition.

“I think he was nervous about whether I would want to audition or not, and so at my first meeting with him I said, ‘I want to read, I want to audition,’ because at this point in my career, I am aware that my name brings a certain kind of cachet,” recalls the actor, who is the face of Out’s upcoming March cover. “I want to know that a director wants me for me, rather than for the cachet. I can see why people are skeptical about me playing Allen Ginsberg, because I don’t like him—although, neither does James Franco—and I’m English and middle class, and not from New Jersey, but that’s what I think is so exciting about it, because people have no idea. I’ve always known I have potential to be a good actor, and I think more than a good actor, but I’ve also at times lacked the tools and didn’t have any training. When John was first auditioning me for Ginsberg, we hadn’t even done the seventh Harry Potter yet, so I was 17 or 18, and he had nothing else to go on apart from the fact that he’d seen me in Equus.”

Director Krokidas recalls the audition as a revelation. “He [Radcliffe] wanted to make sure that the primary creative collaboration in the movie was going to be between me and him, that our chemistry was going to be successful,” he said. “In some Midtown corporate boardroom, the two of us read some lines from the script together, and wow—a lot of actors talk about colors of the rainbow and different facets of emotion in their performance, and Daniel showed me colors I’d never seen before—it was astounding.”

Dan will be on the cover of OUT Magazine's March issue.

Josh Hutcherson Reveals His Celebrity Crush

via glooce

Josh Hutcherson has revealed his celebrity crush, and it's not Jennifer Lawrence or any of his other Catching Fire costars (although he's reportedly very bromantic with Liam Hemsworth and Sam Claflin).

Instead the Hunger Games hottie is crushing on another butt-kicking babe, lovely Avatar star Zoe Saldana. Who knew he was into cougar-hunting?

The much-older object of Josh's affection recently broke up with Bradley Cooper, but Josh will be disappointed to know that she's already been spotted out and about with a mystery man. Maybe Josh should work on scoring a role as a little green man in Star Trek 2 or Avatar 2 so that he can get close to the woman who makes up half of everyone's favorite big, blue alien couple. At the very least, he should throw on a pair of antennae or Spock ears since Zoe is obviously into extraterrestrials.

It's odd that Josh Hutcherson has a crush on Zoe Saldana since his Catching Fire costar was recently linked to Bradley Cooper. Brad denied rumors that he and Jennifer Lawrence are dating, but how weird would it be if Josh hooked up with Zoe and Jen hooked up with Brad? There would definitely be no double dates going on there.

Josh has also been dealing with a slew of dating rumors—he's been linked to Selena Gomez, his ex-girlfriend Lanchen Mihalic, and Carrie Diaries star Chloe Bridges.

So since he's quite the ladies man, who knows? Maybe he actually has a chance at hooking Zoe.

Ryan Gosling featured in GQ Australia

via glooce

The world’s hottest actor, Ryan Gosling, tells us about dealing with fame and swimming with sharks. By now, Ryan Gosling should be on his fourth or fifth stint in rehab. At the very least he ought to be wearing an ankle bracelet. That’s the way it tends to be for former child stars. And make no mistake — that’s what he is; he started out like Britney, Christina and Justin, on The Mickey Mouse Club, aged 12. But today, a grown-up 32, there have been no sex tapes, no drug busts, no whiffs of scandal. Instead, he’s sharply dressed and well-groomed. He’s fit, and good at what he does for a living. He’s weirdly normal. Aside from being the coolest man on the planet.

We’ve had a hunch about this for some time, but it was confirmed recently when we launched a new GQ ad campaign, which went like this: ‘The ideal man doesn’t exist. His magazine? Absolutely.’ You may have seen it. Anyway, the day those ads went live, the emails started, along with the Facebook posts, tweets, bleets, whatever, from readers pointing out our mistake. Because of course the ideal man does exist. It’s Ryan Gosling.

“What?” says Gosling, when we tell him. “People actually got in touch to say that?”
Yes sir, they did. Because, as unlikely as it seems given that cheesy Mouseketeer beginning, he’s evolved into something entirely different: the kind of man who makes unexpected movie choices; who takes his dog, George, to yoga with him; who gets every outfit right without ever looking like he’s made an effort. The result is a unique cocktail that makes men envy him and women fall for him. It’s not bad going.

Today the only thing that’s less than ideal about the man is a touch of croakiness in his voice. Gosling’s been under the weather, and our interview has been shifted a couple of times, but don’t panic, it’s nothing serious. “It happens every time I finish a movie,” he explains in that slow, drawn-out, Brando-esque drawl that cloaks his Canadian-ness. “But I’m good, I’m good. I’m feeling top of the pops. How are you?” Oh, we’re fine. Thanks for asking."




The movie (currently without a name) that’s left him run down on this occasion
is one by director Terrence Malick, which he’s been filming in Texas with Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman. That’s set to hit cinemas later this year, but first up he stars in this month’s Gangster Squad as Jerry Wooters, a cop in late-’40s LA recruited for an off-the-book team tasked with taking back the city from the clutch of mobster Mickey Cohen, played by a chillingly shark-eyed Sean Penn.



Gosling has often found filming hard work, emotionally draining — not this time. “It was fun,” he says. “When I was a kid I was kind of obsessed with that movie Dick Tracy. Burger King had all this Dick Tracy stuff and I collected all of it, and
I had the posters and I watched it on a loop. Obviously this is a very different movie, but it seemed to have some of the sensibilities of that. So that was fun for me.” It shows. Dressed in a trilby, three-piece suit and shoulder holster, Gosling’s character is by far the best, calling women “sugar”, sipping on cocktails with umbrellas and nailing it at target practice even without taking the cigarette from his mouth. He’s also unsurpassed when it comes to the handling of a) his Zippo lighter, and b) Emma Stone. The film’s a well-written, colourful, violent blockbuster.

“Thanks,” he says, pausing. “I’ll have to take your word for it.”

Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens gets Interviewed

via glooce

 

FLOPCHIN STOVENS INTERVIEW

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dan Stevens looks shaken. We are in an empty restaurant in New York and I have justbecome the first outsider he has ever told about his death in Downton Abbey.
“It is very odd,” he says.

After the Christmas special yesterday, the entire world knows that honourable, handsome,happy Matthew Crawley has died at the wheel of his car, reducing a nation to
tears of dismay and disbelief. At the time of our interview last month, there
was a lot of speculation, but no actual confirmation. “It is very strange to
make it official especially since we are talking about it in the future
perfect,” he says, with a laugh. “I am not sure exactly what tense it is, but
it is something very weird.”

That is an almost perfect Dan Stevens joke. He is the charming, well-spoken,Cambridge-educated actor who has become as famous as any movie star thanks to
his role as the romantic lead in Downton. But his literary aspirations, his
desire to be more than just another TV sensation, meant that though his fans
wanted him to stay, they knew that he would probably choose to go.

In fact, he made the decision in February before he even started filming the thirdseries. “We were always optioned for three years,” he explains. “And when that
came up it was a very difficult decision. But it felt like a good time to take
stock, to take a moment. From a personal point of view, I wanted a chance to do
other things.

“It is a very monopolising job. So there is a strange sense of liberation at the sametime as great sadness because I am very, very fond of the show and always will
be.”

As yet, he can’t say what future projects he will take on, though “there are some excitingopportunities”. Until February, he is on stage in New York, playing opposite
Jessica Chastain and David Strathairn in The Heiress, an adaptation of Henry
James’s Washington Square. Stevens is Morris Townsend, who may or may not be a
fortune hunter. He has sideburns and an American accent and when he walks on
stage, there is the strange frisson of seeing him play someone who is notMatthew Crawley – and convey the ambiguities of a darker character very well.

This ambition to do something different is what has spurred him on. “It is a desirefor freedom really,” he says. “I don’t see money or a particular status as an
actor as a goal but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range
of roles as I can. And I think a moment like this is quite unique and presentsthose opportunities more than ever before.

“That may not be the case,” he adds, with another laugh. “I genuinely don’t know exactlywhat is around the corner but I hope it will be something a little bit
different. Morris Townsend is a little bit different, and that for me is good
enough.”

His voicetrails away, and he looks down at his hands. When he is talking about books or
theatre, there is no stopping him. When he talks about Downton, he is more
cautious. At the time he signed up, Stevens was mainly a theatre actor familiar
on television for his part in Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty. But he
was neither a household name, nor a heartthrob. Downton, playing on his boyish
handsomeness and his passionate affair with the stand-offish Lady Mary, has
made him a star, both in the UK and America. When he walks on stage in New
York, he commands a round of applause just as great as that of his movie-making
co-stars.

‘None of us had any idea of how successful Downton was going to be,” he says. “I thoughtI was signing up for another period drama that had a slightly modern feel. It
had a freedom about it because it was coming out of the head of Julian Fellowes.
Anything could happen and generally did.”

Its appeal, from the first, was its company feel – rare in TV. “There was no maincharacter. Everybody owned their storyline. And it was fun. It had a tongue in
cheek element which set it apart. I had done quite a few period dramas at that
point and I was ready not to do another one and then these scripts came along
and the Matthew/Mary relationship was just such fun – I am really glad I didn’t
turn it down.”

Stevens’s affection for Downton is unmistakable – he generally tweets “Hound’s bum abbeytime” as each episode starts, a reference to the dog’s bottom that opens the
credits. “In terms of its popularity,” he explains, “there is a kind of ironic
enjoyment as well as a serious enjoyment. One of my ways of coping with the
attention that it has received is to join the ranks enjoying the mania of
Downton rather than take the whole thing too seriously. But that is my way with
most things. Not to take them too seriously.”

That much is clear. He laughs a lot while he talks, and makes rather good jokes. But healso uses this charm to deflect questions. If he has felt any frustration, he
does not show it: but he did make his decision to leave after the second
series, the one in which Matthew – apparently paralysed in the war – was forced
by the plot to rise from his wheelchair like Lazarus from the grave.

“I think it was harder for the people who had to react to me getting out of the chair,”says Stevens, with a grin. “That was a particularly strange point in the
narrative. I think there were some justifiable criticisms of series two and its
pace. I think from what I have seen, series three has been a lot stronger. But
from the actor’s point of view all the bombs and the mud and everything were
great to film and I had a great time.”

Nevertheless,for so intelligent a man, it must have hurt when his peer Benedict Cumberbatchwas quoted as describing that second series as “f------ atrocious.” “From what
he has told me, and from what I understand, he was misquoted or certainly
quoted out of context,” says Stevens, loyally. “But the thing that upset people
was that there is a sort of unwritten rule that whatever you think of other
people’s shows you don’t diss them to journalists.”

He insists, however, that it is Downton’s capacity to surprise – whether it is aTurkish diplomat expiring in Lady Mary’s bed or the unforeseen death of Sybil
in childbirth – that sets it apart. “You think you are trotting along with a
nice Sunday night drama and something happens. It wouldn’t be Downton if it
wasn’t for all the big twists and shocks.”

Now Mathew’s death is the melodrama that has left viewers reeling. “It was veryemotional shooting the end of this series, because those guys are like family.
We have been living together for three years and have been on the most amazing
journey. I don’t think any of us, with the possible exception of Maggie, have
had this kind of explosion in our career paths, and may never again. It has
been so bizarre, and only those who have been through it can understand it.”

His closeness to the Downton tribe is obvious: he describes Hugh Bonneville andAllen Leech (Branson) as being like “hilarious brothers” to him and the
experience of working with Maggie Smith as a joy. “There are certain takes
where you can see us still half-chuckling from some remark she has made just
before ‘action’.” He will miss Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) because “after
everything we have been through it will be sad not to see the relationship
continue”.

“On the other hand, I won’t be sorry to see the back of that dining room,” he says,with a roar of laughter. “It may have held some of the key plot points, but it
is just a nightmare to shoot in. There are so many angles and edits and it gets
very airless and stuffy – and it is blacked out so even at 10 in the morning weare in the dark.”

For all his expressed sadness, he almost glistens with the excitement of what is tocome. He has left after what he describes as the “busiest year I have ever had
professionally. I hope I never have another year that is quite like this.” Even
listing what he has done is exhausting: seven months of shooting Downton, being
a judge for the Man Booker prize, producing the film Summer in February, in
which he also stars, co-editing an online literary magazine (thejunket.org),
writing a column for the Sunday Telegraph, passing 30, becoming a father for
the second time (a son, Aubrey to join Willow, aged three), starring on
Broadway.

This may have had some effect on his choice. “I was in Cornwall producing my first film.I had 145 novels on my plate with the Booker, I was writing and editing, we had
our second baby on the way [his wife is the jazz singer and teacher Susie
Hariet] and things were getting kind of crazy.”

His natural curiosity is revealed by the way he talks about each aspect of theyear. The Booker judging, in particular, allowed the bright boy who sailed out
of Croydon via public school and Cambridge to fulfil his intellectual
ambitions. “Whenever we met as judges it was like some of the finest supervisions
I had at university, talking about literature with brilliant people.” On the
other hand, in the early stages of trying to read so many novels, “I can’t even
begin to describe the depths of despair I was in at some points.”

He feels he can reveal that thanks to his liking for the experimental, he wasparticularly fond of Will Self’s Umbrella. “It is without question an
extraordinary novel but ultimately the question was, are we choosing the most
ground-breaking book or the best work of literary fiction that year. Hilary
Mantel’s Bring Up the Bodies is a brilliant, brilliant novel. And if you have
written the best work of literary fiction you should win the prize, so in that
sense it was unanimous.”

Next on the cards, I suspect, though he is guarded, is not theatre or literature, but abig film. “I haven’t done as many films as I would have liked,” he says. “A lot
of my contemporaries have done more. I don’t have ‘I will be a movie star’
emblazoned on anything, but I’d like do a bit more screen stuff and then when
the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of
beating both to watch and perform.”

It is possible, I suggest, that his life will never again reach this high point offame. “Oh it is quite possible that none of us in Downton will ever again get
the ratings this has had,” he smiles. “But from a career point of view, it has
opened so many doors.

“I genuinely don’t feel ‘I must play this role’ or ‘I must take this much at thebox office’ in order to fulfil my happiness quotient. As long as I am given the
opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, I’ll be
happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, I’ll be happy. As long as
I can write in some form, I’ll be happy. It is the essential things like that I
equate with happiness.”

However sad the end of Matthew Crawley, the happiness of Dan Stevens is likely to growand grow.

First Look of Tom Hardy as Mad Max

via glooce

Tom Hardy has only just got back from South Africa, where he's been filming Mad Max: Fury Road… And now the first picture of him in character has leaked online!

A signed photo of Tom as Mad Max was posted to Ain't It Cool News today, showing Tom in Max's signature leathers in a desolate landscape, with what looks like a bandaged hand.

Fury Road stars Tom alongside an amazing cast that includes Charlize Theron, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Nicholas Hoult and Zoe Kravitz.

When Tom was asked about the movie at the Jack Reacher premiere, he said it would come out "next year, or the next… or the next" but that he was excited for people to see it:

"It was an amazing experience. It’s a big live action, fully articulated stunt piece which picks up where Mel Gibson’s Mad Max left off and takes it to the next level."
