Maybe my feelings will change once tournament fever kicks in but I can’t be arsed about the World Cup. Never thought I’d ever think that and I love my footie. Wrong time. Wrong place. Wrong everything 👎
Sod it, I’m feeling nostalgic. 6 years ago today

To ask any artist, be it actor, dancer, musician, theatre technician and those in between to ‘retrain’ goes against the very fabric of their being. 2 suggest that light be extinguished is beyond harsh & damaging to our cultural landscape. We R here. We R viable. We DO matter 👊🏻
Incredibly sad to hear about the great Robbie Coltrane. Knock-out in so many performances, Harry Potter, National Treasure, but it was Fitz in TV classic Cracker that stands out for me. No one else could’ve played that role the way he did. Lead acting at it’s finest.
11 hours queueing to pay our respects to the Queen for her exceptional 70 years of service yesterday. The warmth, affection, conversations shared, glorious views and sense of community were magical to be part of. Made me proud to be British and proud to be a Londoner. 👏👑🇬🇧

A day of history like no other. Total respect to all the armed forces for carrying out their duties to perfection. You did her proud. A beautiful and heartfelt send off. Britain was certainly Great today. Thank you Ma’am. May you rest in everlasting peace. ❤️🇬🇧

#TheLongShadow
. The idea that such an emotionally charged, controversial & infamous episode in our recent criminal history has resonated with so many is incredibly gratifying. Privileged to have made a small contribution🤍
Chandler Bing was my favourite character in Friends growing up & Matthew Perry fit the character like a glove. A huge talent, impeccable comic timing with plenty of pathos & vulnerability just beneath the surface. Thank you for the fun, joy, light & laughs you gave the world 💔
Lots of people calling for

Comedic characters don’t come much more iconic than Boycie from Fools and Horses. As soon as John Challis appeared onscreen you couldn’t help but smile and wait for that famous laugh of his. Mark of a fantastic actor that we’ll miss him so much. Thanks for the memories John 👏
Huge congratulations to all the

Utterly heartbreaking and unfathomable news about the exceptional Helen McCrory. Her brilliance, versatility and magnetic power on stage and screen were always a joy to behold. We’ve lost one of the greats. Sending my all love, thoughts and condolences to Damian and family 💔
Shattered by this news. Literally sat down with my son last Saturday to watch Goodfellas. I wanted to show him the finest definition of lead acting there is? Ray Liotta’s portrayal and narration of gangster Henry Hill will be unsurpassed. One of the absolute all time greats.💔🎞
Just finished teaching my 7 year old daughter Maths in the kitchen. My son is upstairs in his room sitting his mock exams. My wife is incapacitated after sustaining a broken leg falling on Mother’s Day and is resting in the front room. Is it too soon to open the wine cabinet?🍷
Immensely proud of the work that has been created in

Thank you for making the Three Lions ROAR again Gareth! 🦁🦁🦁 Just like the man himself, his retiring statement is absolute class. You made us believe again. Be proud. We will be forever indebted to you 🏴

My Bill Nighy tweet. After a long night shoot on The Limehouse Golem and having missed the last train home from Leeds, he insisted I share his car all the way home to London. We stopped off for a McDonald’s and jammed to Mark Morrison’s Return of the Mac. The man is a don👌
RIP to the legendary Bobby Ball. What a loss. Loved watching him as a kid in Cannon & Ball. The fondest memories meeting him on the set of Mrs Biggs and bumped into him again in a hotel for a wedding I was attending. I was totally starstruck on both occasions! That smile 😃👏🏻
I know how much passion and integrity

Yes, the rumours are true…
I’ve just taken over at Brighton. I’d like to thank the chairman and board for the opportunity and of course build on the fantastic work of my predecessor Graham Potter. First game in charge is away to Liverpool…I’m getting sacked next morning 😬
Today we lost an acting God from our profession. Irreplaceable. How lucky I was to have encountered such beguiling magic, personality and talent like him. They say never meet your heroes, let alone worked with them. With Michael, that couldn’t have been further from the truth 💫
As male dominated as

Just rewatched Cast Away. The whole family in floods 😭 Wilson. The musical score kicking in when he leaves the island. The scene with Kelly in the rain. A barnstorming classic and total masterpiece. Is there any actor more moving to watch than
@tomhanks

Sneak peek from tonight’s Ep 2.
A total privilege to sit across from David Tennant in this role. A master of his craft delivering one of the most eerie, unsettling but captivating performances I can remember. Lucky me 🤍

Farewell to the iconic Sean Connery. In a career that spanned decades and a sea of masterclass performances he leaves behind a towering legacy. My favourite will always be Malone from The Untouchables. Power, presence and that unforgettable voice. RIP 🤍
TV/film productions falling like dominoes or being postponed, theatre’s falling dark. In times of great depression the arts are always there to lift us. This is gonna be hard. Wanna send my love to all my fellow freelancers in my industry at this difficult time. We’ll be back 👊

1/2 Desperately sad news about the untimely passing of comedian Sean Lock. I passed him in the street once. He looked at me and I looked at him. I wanted to tell him how great he was but I bottled it. How I regret that now. Well Sean…you were beyond funny. Any panel show that
