The 65-year-old actor played jaded marine James T ‘Joker’ Davis in late director Stanley Kubrick’s searing 1987 anti-war Vietnam movie – which was famously advertised with the stark image of a battered and graffitied army helmet emblazoned with the phrase, along with a peace sign and a string of live rifle cartridges held in place by a leather strap. In the midst of outrage from fans who spotted Amazon had removed the now-iconic ‘BORN TO KILL’ white writing from the he...

Tom Hanks had “no ambition” when he was a teenager. The ‘Toy Story’ star, 67, is renowned for his many contributions to cinema throughout the years as an actor, producer, writer and director and has won numerous awards for his work, including two Oscars but he hasn't always aspired to greatness because he lacked drive as a younger man.

David’s first unpleasant brush with the BBC’s talent scouts came on 2 November 1965 when his manager organised an addition for a TV spot for the singer’s band at the time, The Lower Third. Upcoming book ‘Bowie at the BBC: ...

The ‘Old’ director has helmed the movie adaption of ‘The Cabin At the End of the World’- which stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff and Rupert Grint - but is such a fan of Paul Tremblay’s book because of how “it speaks” to all his favourite cinematic themes.
