“How dare you do that?”: Charlize Theron Faced Unexpected Backlash After $1.2 Billion Dream Movie With Vin Diesel


Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde) appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in a 2021 episode to promote her second appearance in Vin Diesel’s long-running action franchise.
While she promoted the ninth installment – F9 (2021), she brought herself to talk about her character Cipher who was first introduced in The Fate of the Furious (2017).

The Fast & Furious franchise peaked with Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious as they collected $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion respectively at the box office.
The feeling of joining a franchise that now stands at $7.3 billion including the collections of Fast X was surreal, according to what she told Jimmy Fallon. But, there was an initial backlash.

Charlize Theron Reflected On Fan Backlash in The Fate of the FuriousThe Fate of the Furious became Charlize Theron’s top-grosser of her film career so far, but she told Jimmy Fallon that it wasn’t exactly easy at first.
She said that the Fast & Furious franchise runs on a strong family theme that fans have come to cherish over the years. Playing Cipher came with its own set of troubles for Theron.

“The F9, the Fast & Furious franchise… it’s massive. The audience, the fans are just so passionate. When did you realize, ‘Oh… this is, I’m stepping into a whole universe here?’” — asked Fallon.
“So, when I showed up as the baddie in Fast 8… and turned Dom [Vin Diesel] against his family, I definitely had a couple of fans like, ‘How dare you do that to Dom! How dare you turn him against his family! But we want a good baddie,’” said Theron.

Over the course of the film’s theatrical run, as Charlize Theron said, the audience came to appreciate her portrayal but warned her to not do that again.
Charlize Theron’s Cipher Did The Unthinkable To Vin DieselVin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto was finally shown to be settling with his family after dealing with Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw in Furious 7, but Charlize Theron’s Cipher came as another formidable threat in The Fate of the Furious.
Toretto had to turn on his family as she held Elsa Pataky’s Elena Neves and her son Brian Toretto captive. Charlize Theron’s performance as Cipher had been intimidating in the film and the actor reprised her role again in F9 and this year’s Fast X.
Charlize Theron is expected to reprise her role in Fast X: Part 2 which the lead actor Vin Diesel announced should arrive in theaters on April 4, 2025.
As per Collider, Fast X will be available for streaming exclusively on Peacock starting September 15.

‘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.
