Sean Bean reveals how unlikely Sheffeld United tattoo landed him Hollywood role

The 66-year-old actor has starred in numerous international and domestic film and television roles, including the Lord of the Rings and the Lord of the Rings, and has become one of the UK’s most successful actors. He has also appeared in numerous critically acclaimed TV shows including Game of Thrones and National Treasure.

Sean Bean made his mark on the acting world all thanks to a body etching dedicated to his beloved Sheffield United, the Hollywood star has revealed. He got his big break after a top director was impressed by a tattoo in honour of his football team, which read 100% Blade.

In Patriot Games, Sean, 66, the BAFTA award-winning actor, Harrison Ford, played the villain opposite the biggest Hollywood star at the time, Harrison Ford, and Philip Noyce later claimed that the shoulder inking caused him to believe he was a real-life hard man.

According to Sharpe star Sean, “I had a vest on with my arm showing.” Additionally, I have a tattoo that reads “100% Blade,” which sounds quite sinister but isn’t really true. My football team, Sheffield United, is known as the Blades. I must be “a total Blade,” therefore.

“It looked very difficult,” he said. And Philip says, “Get that in, cameraman.” Get a man who is 100% bleeding. Get his arm in, get that in, “. And so I have a lot to thank him for because he was good for me.

Sean joked about his tattoo, saying, “It doesn’t look like that now.” After consuming a lot of prunes and blackberries, his shoulder appears to be covered in bird sh**. However, it looked fantastic at the time.

Bean, who grew up in Handsworth, Sheffield, has become one of the UK’s most successful actors at home and abroad in film and TV, starring in huge TV series like Game Of Thrones and hit film The Lord Of The Rings and National Treasure. He admitted that the casting was a stroke of luck given how tough he found learning lines and auditions in 1992.

At a SAG Foundation career retrospective in Los Angeles, he said, “You get your pages and the casting director reads your pages, and it was quite scary.”

“I’ve never been very good at learning lines either.” I did nothing wrong about myself. I believe so. I didn’t receive the parts because there was a lot of it. However, when we attended Patriot Games, I was aware of the lines because they sent me flying from LA to LA, and I put in a strong performance there. I took a big break from that. That was a pretty far off chance, I mean. Harrison Ford, who was at the height of his fame and wrote the Jack Ryan stories, never really gave me the idea of getting that part.

Because that was my first big film, and undoubtedly a Hollywood movie, I just had to get the part, and I couldn’t believe it. And Harrison Ford, who I had no idea I would play opposite, was amazing, which really kind of made things work out for me. Yes, it was fantastic.

This comes after Sean made a very rare appearance with his fifth wife Ashley Moore as she joined him for the premiere of his new TV series, Robin Hood, about the famous Nottingham outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

The 66-year-old, who is best known for his roles in Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, will star as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the upcoming series, which will be released on November 2 on MGM+. UK audiences can watch through an add-on Amazon Prime subscription.

Posing for photos at the star-studded Hollywood event at The Culver Theatre in Los Angeles, veteran Sheffield-born actor Sean looked dapper in a camel coloured suit, which he teamed with burgundy brogues and a matching tie for the occasion. While Ashley, 40, donned a black trouser suit and white shirt that she accessorised with a Chanel necklace.

And the pair, who wed in a romantic ceremony in Dorset in June 2017, looked as enthralled as ever as they mingled with Sean’s co-stars, including Lauren McQueen, who plays Robin’s lead role, and Jack Patten, who plays the lead role.

The actor’s longest marriage to date and his fifth appearance in public. He met former actress Ashley at random in a London pub for eight years before settling down. He had three children and had previously been divorced four times before he decided never to get married again.

Dianne Buswell has taken to social media to hit back at trolls who said they “can’t watch a pregnant girl dance”. The professional dancer shared a clip to her Instagram page where she defiantly danced and did a cartwheel for the camera.

For all those who complain that pregnant girls can’t watch them dance, the mum-to-be wrote at the top of the video: “! When I hear the beat, I can’t stop thinking.

Dianne met on the show and her partner, Joe Sugg, who was a former Strictly contestant. They are expecting their first child. Then, she responded to a Strictly viewer with one response on her Instagram Stories.

I saw this coming, to be honest. Diane couldn’t really go on, especially as she grew. God bless her. She is one of my favorite dancers, and I regret to say that, but I believe this was planned to protect her and the baby. (sic)”.

Dianne responded, “I sound like a broken record, but I’m seeing a little of this floating around again!” Why should I, I know that some people say to ignore it?

“I’ll speak up,” I promise. I would love to continue dancing this week, next week, and so forth and forth. I actually have more energy this year than I did last year.

Businesswoman gobsmacked after Michelle Obama messaged her over lashes

Lilly Ghalichi, a reality star, was shocked when Michelle Obama reached out to her personally and helped her build her beauty empire and make her products popular.

Her lashes are worn by everyone from pop superstars Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Adele to America’s former First Lady Michelle Obama. But Lilly Ghalichi, 42, who started the luxury lash brand Lilly Lashes with her sister 16 years ago, is relatively unknown this side of the pond.

The mother-of-two first appeared in the media in 2012 while participating in Bravo’s Shahs of Sunset for two seasons. Before making the decision to leave the limelight and concentrate on her beauty brand, Lilly spent two seasons on the reality TV show.

Celebrating her lashes arriving on the British high street following a huge deal with beauty giant Superdrug, she said: “We are the Hollywood lash. Everyone from Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce wear our lashes.

“Any girl that is known for glam and beauty, trusts and wears Lily Lashes. And for us that it the best award! If you’re trusted on Hollywood’s most famous faces at their most important times, whether it’s the Met Gala or a concert tour.

“Taylor Swift requested so many lashes, she wore them on every single concert of her ERAs tour. Beyonce did the same! Taylor did the same for her Vegas residency. Adele wears our lashes. Adele’s make-up artists reached out to us and said Adele will only wear your lashes.”

However, Lilly was left speechless after receiving a direct message from Michelle Obama. Can you believe Michelle reached out to us, she asked? We were unable to believe it.

After trying to achieve the glamorous appearance she wanted, Lilly unintentionally launched her lash brand. She wrote a blog post, wrote 300 lashes, and the rest is history. No false lashes, according to her, were what I needed. To achieve the glamorous look I wanted, I would be putting three pairs of them on top of one another.

Everyone else did it, not just me, but everyone else did it. It took a lot of time, not just because you had to buy three pairs of lashes. Right there must be another option, I thought.

“I put up a blog post, there wasn’t even Instagram back then, and I said ‘Hey if anyone wants these lashes, I’ve made these lashes’. I then went and made a sandwich with my sister and when I came back I had hundreds of emails.

I looked at my sister, which made me smile because there were so many other women out there who wanted more from their lashes. I said to my sister, “I’m going to start a lash line, I’m going to give everyone else glamorous lashes,” and I said, “I’m going to start a lash line.”

Lilly balances raising her three-year-old son Kashton and daughter Alara, who is seven years old, with her beauty business. Last week, her range was introduced in nationwide Superdrug locations.

She continued, “We are so excited to be opening our doors to the UK with Superdrug because we have such a sizable UK clientele. It feels so wonderful to finally be able to give our lashes to glamorous beauties over here.” Everything you need is on our kits because some of our amazing styles come with glue and are available in a variety of colors. Superdrug now sells Lilly Lashes.

Lily Allen says new album was inspired by ‘abandonment’ after David Harbour split

Some of the songs on Lily Allen’s new album have been inspired by the painful aftermath of her breakup with her husband, David Harbour, who has spoken about how the painful aftermath left her feeling “rejected and abandoned.”

Lily Allen has revealed that her split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour served as inspiration for her most intimate album to date, West End Girl, which was the result of “deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment.”

The 39-year-old singer-songwriter BMG released her long-awaited album yesterday (October 24). Since her 2018 album No Shame, she hasn’t released any music in seven years.

In that time, Lily stepped away from the spotlight to focus on theatre and acting. She earned critical acclaim for her performances in 2:22 A Ghost Story and The Pillowman, as well as appearing in the film How To Build A Girl and the Sky comedy Dreamland.

She also hosts the well-known podcast Miss Me? with long-time friend Miquita Oliver, but she claims that the breakdown of her marriage to David left her feeling destabilized and vulnerable over the past few years.

Lily reflected on the suffering that gave birth to West End Girl in a statement to Perfect magazine, calling it an “album of sorrow and pain.”

She said, “I have deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment that I’ve been tussling with for most of my adult life and probably quite a lot of my childhood as well.” And at the time, I was reacting violently to various things.

She continued, “It’s difficult for me to not have my person, you know,” after confirming that “things” had spoken of the end of her marriage. And I’m a remarkably dependent person. When I’m missing the comfort and stability of what is not available, I find it difficult to lean on those who are.

The mother-of-two added that she felt pressured to “do the work” of healing. “I am aware that what I have to do is to make myself happy, and that makes me very irritable.” It means doing the work, which I believe I’ve been doing for a long time. It’s exhausting to me. And I believed it was finished. I assumed, “Oh, I thought it would be happily ever after”?

After meeting on the celebrity dating app Raya, Lily and David tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2020. However, months of speculation about infidelity led to their announcement to end their engagement earlier this year.

Lily later admitted she entered treatment to cope with the “emotional turmoil” of the split. Since leaving their Brooklyn townhouse the singer has gotten settled in London, buying an ex-council flat in Notting Hill that she’s been decorating herself.

She previously told The Mirror: “I’ve obviously had quite a hard time and that’s really helped me.” The emotional fallout of the breakup is explored in depth in West End Girl.

Relapse explores her struggle to stay sober while her songs Ruminating and Madeline explore themes of jealousy and infidelity. Just Enough, a track about moving on and accepting yourself, closes the album.

Strictly’s Gorka Marquez ‘repulsed’ by fiancée Gemma Atkinson’s habit

After he and his fiance Gemma Atkinson revealed what life really is like at home and some ‘repulsive’ habits, Gorka Marquez and his partner Gemma Atkinson reveal what it’s really like there after he and his partner swapped dancing on Strictly for the Spanish series.

Former Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson and her fiancé of four years, professional dancer Gorka Marquez have come a long way as a couple since meeting behind the scenes on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017. They’re now parents of two – six-year-old Mia and her little brother Thiago, two – and now hosting their new podcast, Lost in Translation.

Chatting with OK! The couple revealed each other’s worst habits and explained why one of them “absolutely repulses” the other in a magazine about what listeners can expect as well as a few significant life updates. We message our producer individually about what has irritated us each week, Gemma said, and then have a discussion about it. We play silly games and examine the differences between Spanish and English, respectively.

She continued, revealing that one of her favorite childhood favorites, one of which has so far failed to impress her other half, is one of the biggest cultural clashes between the Spanish-Mancunian couple.

“Few years ago, I grew up drinking chippy tea with gravy on Friday. On chips, vinegar. This absolutely repulses Gorka, she said before adding that Thiago also loves them. He prefers them over anything else.

But vegetarian Gemma also has a few of Gorka’s favourite foods to contend with, including his love of a cured meat. “At Christmas I bring a big Spanish leg of ham home,” he shared. “It’s amazing, but Gemma’s going, ‘Get that thing out of the house!’.”

However, the couple and I both agreed that their relationship has an underlying opposite that draws people to it. Gorka, 35, admitted he was a “perfectionist” but that “Gemma’s messy” was something that bothers him further.

Gemma joked, “I’ve been folding socks wrong my entire life.” “I’ll just fold them,” she said. Gorka prefers them tucked in completely next to each other, the bottom to the top.

Gorka and the family are currently having a different end of year, with her joining the judging panel for the Spanish version of Strictly, which features Alex Kingston, La Voix, and Vicky Pattison.

Gemma said the family’s “countdown to Christmas” is on Saturday nights, and it’s already starting to look like their two young children might follow their father’s example despite not seeing their father on television.

They possess musicality, they claim. Mia has a dancing craze. Thiago already sings in tune, and he has a good ear. He adores The Greatest Showman and plays the drum at the ideal moment.
