Instead, the 44-year-old Knoxville has been building up his acting credits. He found a Knievel-esque compatriot in Jackie Chan, his co-star on the upcoming China-set buddy actioner Skiptrace. “I was watching Police Story again recently and he was just going for it, like Evel,” Knoxville said. “There are crazy scenes in it, like when he’s standing on the hill and there’s a bus coming towards him, and three guys—two from the top and one from the bottom window—they all go out onto the concrete, headfirst. I told him, ‘That looked very real to me,’ and he was like, ‘Oh, yeah—they went straight to the hospital. I didn’t rehearse then.’” … [Read more...] about Johnny Knoxville: How I Broke My Penis

Delight in deviant thoughts about Nazis and necromancers for too long, the film cautions, and beware the impulses that eventually consume your heart and soul. … [Read more...] about ‘Lords of Chaos’: How the Godfathers of Norwegian Black Metal Became Murderers

Tye: I’ve been so blessed and lucky to have the right people there with me in my team, every step of the way. When Detour came around they knew how passionate I was about the script. Everyone loved the script. “We all think Chris is amazing, Tye, I think this is a great choice for you.” I just came off a pretty big film that I was shooting this summer and now I’m doing another studio picture this summer. That’s all very new to me. I never defined myself within those films, but now I do. But I don’t know, you want to keep that element about yourself that is the artist. … [Read more...] about What It’s Like to Be Hollywood’s It Boy: Emory Cohen and Tye Sheridan Talk Han Solo Rumors

“It was a really weird situation, what we were hearing while in the U.S. was that they were going to close the borders up,” Belmonte said Monday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I was in the middle of a tournament, my concentration was wobbling. But when they said they were closing up the borders, I figured this was getting really serious.” … [Read more...] about Jason Belmonte’s back Down Under after banner PBA season
