“I just needed something to be wrong with him”: Hollywood Star Asked Chris Hemsworth to Shut Up After Frustrating Experience


The 2016 Ghostbusters reboot tried to put a refreshing twist on the beloved franchise. While the spotlight has predominantly focused on stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, actor Chris Hemsworth surprised audiences with his delightful and hilarious portrayal of Kevin, the Ghostbusters’ secretary. But despite Hemsworth’s positively surprising performance what forced one of his co-actors to ask him to shut up?
Cast as the good-looking yet dim-witted Australian receptionist, Hemsworth’s comedic talent proved to be a pleasant surprise. Although Hemsworth may not have been widely recognized for his comedic chops before, his previous experience in the 2015 film Vacation showcased his potential in the genre.

Why was Melissa McCarthy forced to utter a guttural ‘Shut Up!’ to Chris HemsworthDirector Paul Feig assured Chris Hemsworth that he needn’t worry about generating laughs, as he had the option to stick to the script. However, Hemsworth’s improvisational skills proved to be exceptional. While the Thor: Ragnarok actor’s co-stars showered him with praise during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Melissa McCarthy jokingly expressed her desire for him to have a flaw, confessing that she had never rooted for someone to be a jerk. She said,
“I have never rooted for someone maybe to be just an unbelievable jerk. I just needed something to be wrong with him. And there was nothing!”

Explaining how Hemsworth’s perfection irritated her, McCarthy revealed an incident that forced her to ask him to shut up.
We were talking about music or playing something and I said what song are you talking about? And he started singing and I did not mean to, but very …it was deep and guttural, I was like ‘You shut up! Will you shut up Chris?’ He started to sound like a songbird and I was like ‘You can’t have another thing. Just be quiet.’ I don’t tell people to shut up but I was like ‘You shut up!’

Furthermore, another Ghostbusters actor, Leslie Jones added that everyone on set suspected Hemsworth of bringing his own writers to work due to his effortless comedic brilliance.
When Chris Hemsworth almost quit GhostbustersIn one of his media interactions, Chris Hemsworth revealed his initial uncertainty about accepting the role of Kevin, the assistant to the Ghostbusters team. In an interview with Variety, Hemsworth expressed his reservations and almost considered pulling out of the film.

The actor explained that despite director Paul Feig’s assurance that the character would be developed, the script remained largely unchanged. Hemsworth’s agent, Bryan Lourd, organized a meeting with Feig, who highlighted the role’s potential for improvisation and memorable moments. However, this didn’t alleviate Hemsworth’s concerns, and he admitted feeling nervous and unprepared on set.
“The night before I was shooting, I almost pulled out. Three or four weeks prior, Paul [Feig, director] said to me, ‘I’m going to write up the character. Don’t worry.’ And then I got the script and nothing had changed.’”
Yet, Hemsworth turned his apprehension into a strength. He found himself relying on the talented cast, feeding off their energy, and embracing the ridiculousness of his character. The film went on to achieve commercial success, grossing $128 million in the U.S. and $229 million worldwide. Although praised by some critics, Ghostbusters faced backlash from fans who criticized its focus on female characters.
Reflecting on the negative reception, Hemsworth expressed disappointment and questioned the entitlement of certain fans to dictate the direction of beloved characters. He found the backlash unfortunate, emphasizing that the film offered a fresh and exciting take on the Ghostbusters universe.
Fans can watch Ghostbusters on Apple TV or ABC. The movie is also available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
