Molly’s Game actress Jessica Chastain said she had based her character in the Aaron Sorkin film on reality TV personality Kim Kardashian West. The 40-year-old actress took inspiration from the entrepreneur and her sisters to prep for the title role in the Sorkin’s directorial debut. “To play Molly Bloom, I thought about what women have to become in order to find power in a society where men are making all of the rules. I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh — the Kardashians are an incredible example of women who have their own sense of entrepreneurial power.’ And in real life, Molly looked a lot like them,” Chastain said, according to Contactmusic.

Actor Robert Pattinson has told the W magazine that he was a “dork” growing up and would often play alone. The 31-year-old actor said: “Growing up, I was pretty much a dork. I really liked playing warhammer, but I never actually figured out the rules. I just made up my own. So I never played with anybody else, because I was playing by my own rules.”

Actor Donald Glover has said the director’s change in Solo: A Star Wars Story did not affect the film’s overall vision. Director Ron Howard came on board after Phil Lord and Chris Miller left the project over creative differences. “I think we have all never been faced with anything like that and I think he did a good job of coming and tell us he didn’t want to change what we were doing at all. He wanted us to remain confident in our vision,”  Glover who plays young Lando Calrissian in the film said.

Actor Liev Schreiber has said he is trying to adjust to major changes in his life post his break-up with Naomi Watts, his partner of 11 years. “It’s always hard, you know? You build a life with someone and things change. And I think the way that we’ve looked at it is that we’ll always be partners with these kids,” Schreiber said on Sunday Today. The ex-couple are parents to boys Alexander (10) and Samuel (nine). Live said it is important that their children know that he and Watts still care about each other.
