People are only just realising that Thing from Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ has a big secret, and cannot believe what they were seeing when seeing the behind-the-scenes footage

Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ has returned for a second series – and it’s promised to be better than ever with a whole host of celebs added to the cast, including Joanna Lumley and Billie Piper. Lady Gaga even made a subtle appearance after the sped-up version of her song ‘Bloody Mary’ reached new heights of popularity thanks to the first season of the show.

However, many people were left wondering whether ‘Thing’ from the show is CGI. For those not in the know, Thing from The Addams Family is a disembodied hand that serves as a loyal and helpful companion to the family.

In the Netflix spin-off series, Thing is portrayed by 28-year-old Victor Dorobantu, a Romanian magician, but people were shocked to learn there was a person behind the hand.

Victor shared some behind-the-scenes footage of him portraying the unusual character, and some people said he had the “hardest job on the set”.

Taking to X, someone wrote: “Rather than relying entirely on CGI, Thing was performed by Romanian magician and actor Victor Dorobantu, who wore a specially designed costume and prosthetics.”

His costume was blue with a hood so that he could be edited out of the background easily.

In the comments of Victor’s video, someone wrote: “Imagine telling the grandkids you were in the Wednesday series, every time thing comes on ‘that’s me’. So cool to know it was a person and not CGI.”

Another said: “Wow I actually thought Thing was like an AI type of thing. Not going to lie, he has the hardest job on set. That looks like a good workout lol.”

Somebody else shared: “The way I checked IMDB so fast this season to make sure it was you again before watching!! I was so stoked it was… love how you play Thing.”

“This is INCREDIBLY cool! I’m so happy you shared this,” a woman praised him.

A man penned: “Dang I never thought it was actually someone’s hand I thought it was just animated.”

An Instagram user shared he must have a lot of strength, writing: “I know it takes immense shoulder strength to be able to pull off something like this. I know your shoulders are well built. I know your shoulders hurt.”

“Ok, no, but in all seriousness, the way this dude communicates and sends feelings across the screen is beyond me,” a fan praised.

Some tried to put the actor down, though, saying: “All this technology we have and there was no room for a robot hand? But I guess this makes it look more realistic.”

Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper was left fuming after he was forced to pull over by police as they escorted US Vice President JD Vance around the Cotswolds

Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has revealed how his Clarkson’s Farm colleague Kaleb Cooper launched a foul-mouthed jibe at officers following a recent encounter.

US vice president JD Vance’s recent visit to the area sparked outrage among some residents in the peaceful town of Chipping Norton. WhilsE some locals voiced their political opposition to his trip, Kaleb’s fury stemmed from entirely different circumstances.

Writing in his latest The Sunday Times column, Jeremy Clarkson detailed how the politician was given a police escort while travelling through the local vicinity.

Describing how officers were tasked with moving people aside as the convoy passed through town, Jeremy recounted how his Clarkson’s Farm co-star Kaleb was amongst those affected.

Reflecting on how events transpired, Jeremy revealed: “One of the people they ordered to pull over was Kaleb Cooper, my tractor driver, but it was starting to rain and he urgently needed to get his load of wheat into the shed, so he invited his tormentor to eff off. And carried on regardless.”

Following the incident, Kaleb expressed his frustration by responding to one of Jeremy’s Instagram posts, explaining what had occurred.

He commented: “My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo(y) stopped me in the rain in chippy. I could have easily went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way.”

In brighter news for the 27-year-old farmer, he celebrated the arrival of his third child with partner Taya on Thursday (August 14). Having popped the question almost three years ago, Ashton has become the pair’s newest addition.

Announcing the joyful news on Instagram, Kaleb penned: “Baby number 3. everyone meet Ashton weighing 6.13lb born 14th august at 6:28pm at chipping norton maternity. Ps don’t worry I bought the amazing midwife’s a Chinese as well.”

While Kaleb voiced his own concerns about being affected by the politician’s entourage, the Clarkson’s Farm favourite wasn’t the only resident to express their frustration.

In Charlbury, near to his accommodation, demonstrators organised the “Vance Not Welcome Party” courtesy of local “Everybody Hates Elon” and “Stop Trump Coalition” organisations.

However, some residents were delighted by his visit, with newly confirmed Strictly contestant and former Apprentice star Tom Skinner receiving an invitation to the vice-president’s holiday residence following their previous social media exchanges.

Following their get together at Vance’s retreat earlier this week, Tom posted on X expressing his appreciation: “Unreal night with JD and his friends and family.”

Reality TV stars Abby and Brittany Hensel have been spotted with a newborn baby, leading to speculation that they’ve grown their family

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been spotted with a newborn baby, leading to speculation that they’ve decided to grow their family.

The 35-year-old twin sisters were seen carrying the infant in a car seat before carefully making sure the baby was secured in the back of the vehicle. The siblings then spent some time chilling out at the back of the Tesla boot before leaving the car park in Arden Hills, Minnesota.

It comes after rumours began circulating last year that they were pregnant with their first baby. The pair are yet to confirm whether the baby is their own and the teacher sisters now prefer to stay out of the spotlight.

Abby and Brittany shot to fame back in 1996 when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show at the tender age of six-years-old. This initial exposure led to huge public interest, before they bagged their own TLC reality show, Abby & Brittany.

The series documented their lives as they graduated from college and entered the complex world of adulthood as conjoined twins.

Abby tied the knot with Joshua Bowling in 2021 and is already a stepmum to his daughter Isabella from a previous relationship, but has also previously expressed her desire to expand their family.

“We’re going to be moms,” Brittany said in Joined for Life: Abby & Brittany Turn 16 in 2006. “We haven’t thought about how being moms is going to work yet.”

Abby and Brittany are dicephalic parapagus twins, which means they share one torso to which their two heads are joined, and they also share one pair of legs.

Abby, who is on the right side of the body, controls the right arm and leg, and Brittany has control over the left limbs. Conjoined twins are very rare, but the Hensen sisters are even more unusual because they are really pretty symmetrical compared to other conjoined twins.

They have always been really candid about their unique shared lives, and recently posted a video on their TikTok page, which saw a doctor explain how their joined anatomy actually works.

“Abby and Brittany Hensel’s anatomy is a remarkable blend of shared and individual organs and tissues,” the video they shared by molecular biologist Hashem Al-Ghaili explained, “The twins each have their own distinct upper body systems. Abby and Brittany have two heads, two brains, two spinal cords, and two hearts, which are part of a shared circulatory system.”

Despite having the same blood circulation system, their brains and spinal cords are their own, which means they have to work in tight-knit coordination to carry things, get places, or drive a car.

The pair previously opened up on their reality TV show for TLC just how painstaking the coordination has to be on a minute-by-minute basis.

“We have two licenses,” Abby said back in 2012, “When we got our driver’s licenses, we each had to take the test. We both passed.”

Brittany explained that they both have to steer, but her sister was the one in charge of the brake and acceleration pedals.

Despite having their own hearts, brains, spines, and four lungs, the sisters share one set of reproductive organs.

When they were children, their parents were offered the possibility of separation surgery, but they turned it down, because it was unlikely that both their daughters would have survived.
