Motherhood can change a woman's life in ways more than one. It is&nbsp;the most challenging yet beautiful phase for any lady and it teaches her how to deal with uncertainties and anxiety. Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence, who welcomed a baby in February this year with her husband Cooke Maroney, spoke about motherhood and how it changed her life in a recent interview. The 'Hunger Games' star also revealed the&nbsp;gender of her baby for the first time in the&nbsp;interview.

While speaking to&nbsp;Vogue magazine, Jennifer said,&nbsp;"It is so scary to talk about motherhood. The experience is not the same for everyone."

She further added, "Only because it is so different for everybody. If I say it was amazing from the start, some people will think it was not amazing for me at first, and feel bad."

In the same interview, she shared that she was blessed with a boy and she named him 'Cy'&nbsp;after her husband's favourite artist Cy Twombly.

"The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over,"&nbsp;she added. "Like, now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They are these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors. Now I love all babies. Now I hear a baby crying in a restaurant and I’m like, Awwww, precious."

On the movie front, Lawrence will be next seen in 'Causeway', which is an American psychological drama film helmed by Lila Neugebauer. Other than Jennifer Lawrence, it stars Brian Tyree Henry. The film's&nbsp;world premiere was held at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on September 10.

Disney shares first look of 'The Little Mermaid' at D23 Expo; watch Halle Bailey singing a classic

Queen Elizabeth II's coronation -- broadcast live for eight straight hours by the BBC in 1953 -- was the first major event of the television age. Six decades later, aged 86, she showed a surprising gift for comedy, joining "James Bond" star Daniel Craig for a sketch in which both appeared to parachute into the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

And she topped British television ratings last year with her final carefully choreographed Christmas message, a tradition she began in 1957. But did that mean the queen -- who often floated above the criticism some of her family attracted -- could be considered media-savvy? &nbsp;

Royal biographers are divided on how much mental space the queen gave to the media, which she kept at a respectful distance for the seven decades of her reign.&nbsp;She may officially have been the first British royal to embrace social platforms, with 12.3 million Instagram followers, though few believe she ever concerned herself much with her online profile.

- 'Real acting' -

But she knew how to play a role.&nbsp;Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who co-wrote the action hero sketch at the Olympics, as well as one with beloved fictional character Paddington Bear for her Platinum Jubilee this year, on Friday hailed her "brilliant" comic timing.&nbsp;

"That's real acting going on there. Paddington isn't really in the room," he told the BBC of the latter skit, in which the queen claimed she kept a marmalade sandwich in her handbag at all times.&nbsp; She decided early on to embrace mass media, historian Robert Lacey said, following the example of her grandfather George V.

The queen saw radio and television as a "way to talk to directly" to her subjects, he told AFP.&nbsp;Her first radio broadcast came at just 14 when she addressed British children at the start of World War II.

Over time, her Christmas speeches evolved from rather stilted affairs in a ballgown to highly sophisticated fireside chats -- her office or sitting rooms carefully dressed with family photos to reflect her theme.

- 'Innate reticence' -

But the queen was less than enthusiastic about letting the cameras behind the curtain to peek at the Windsors' private lives. Royal biographers like Andrew Morton -- whose study of her strained relationship with her sister Margaret appeared last year -- suspect the queen's innate reticence didn't help her complicated ties to the media.

It was the family themselves that made the first breach when her husband Prince Philip invited the BBC into the Palace in 1969 to film the fly-on-the-wall documentary, "Royal Family".

The queen's press secretary at the time, William Heseltine, admitted in 2019 that "the queen was a reluctant convert, but became much more aware of the possibilities and was prepared to participate when it came to actual filming".

The documentary was replete with awkward scenes of family barbecues and breakfasts, the royals using Tupperware, and Philip wondering if the queen's father was "mad".&nbsp;

The naturalist David Attenborough, then a top BBC executive, even warned it risked "killing the monarchy". The film has not been shown since the 1970s, reportedly at the request of the Palace, and has been taken down every time it has appeared on YouTube.

- 'Mystique of monarchy' -

Despite that experience, historian Morton said the royal family "hitched their wagon to television in the 1980s... and so swapped the mystique of monarchy for what you might call the shallow applause of the studio audience".

The author said the Palace has always tried to portray the royal family "like a swan, gliding beautifully along the surface of British society" despite the dramas going on internally.

Their press office, known as "the Abominable No Man because they always used to say 'no comment'... defined the agenda," he told the US public broadcaster PBS.

"They defined what was private and what was public and they would move it whenever they wished." 
Rather than undermining the institution, the British anti-monarchy group Republic has long claimed that the media and the royals have a symbiotic relationship.

"There is a huge disconnection between the media's portrayal of public attitudes (towards the royals) and how people actually feel," its head Graham Smith said.

He pointed to a poll saying most Britons were "not interested" in the queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year.&nbsp;"If this is the public response to a celebration of her reign, then the monarchy will be in serious trouble" with King Charles, he added.

Was Queen Elizabeth II a media-savvy monarch?

From "The Queen" to "The Lost King," which had its world premiere at the Toronto film festival Friday, Stephen Frears has built much of his storied career directing movies about the British monarchy.

But a day after the death of Queen Elizabeth II united millions around the world in grief, he admitted he was still at a loss to explain why the global public remains so fixated on the royal family.

"I don't know, people just are! And I seem to have profited from it. So I should keep quiet," he joked to AFP on the film's red carpet at North America's biggest film festival.

His latest comedy-drama "The Lost King" -- the stranger-than-fiction true story of a Scottish housewife finding a Medieval English king beneath a car park, given the Hollywood big-screen treatment -- was already an improbable movie, before the timing of its world premiere.

"It's very, very nice to be here, and quite odd on this day of all days," the director told the premiere audience at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre, which had dimmed its marquee lights following word of the Queen's passing.

"Here we are at the premiere of our movie 'The Lost King' on the day when the world is coming to terms with the lost queen," co-writer Jeff Pope told AFP on the red carpet.

The movie itself -- starring Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan -- depicts how amateur historian Philippa Langley defied all the odds to successfully track down and unearth the 500-year-old remains of controversial monarch Richard III.

"The death of the Queen is something that most Britons are genuinely moved by and, whatever their cultural differences, most people have huge respect for the Queen and what she did," Coogan told AFP on the red carpet.

"But putting that to one side, I think our film is not really about an obsession with monarchy itself -- it's specifically Richard III, who is this sort of demonized king.&nbsp;

"And Philippa Langley herself was marginalized, and is marginalized even after her quest to discover the lost king."&nbsp;

- 'Woman King' -

Elsewhere in Toronto Friday, Viola Davis and John Boyega kept the royal theme center-stage as they walked the red carpet for the launch of "The Woman King," a historical epic about the 19th-century female warriors of the west African kingdom of Dahomey.

"It's great to have a project that highlights female leaders, but at the same time, it's great to show the vulnerabilities and the hardship that can sometimes come with that," Boyega told AFP.

"To show what needs to be overcome... I think (is) something that men and women can be inspired by," he added.

And Hillary Clinton introduced "In Her Hands," a new Netflix documentary about women's rights in Afghanistan which she produced alongside her daughter Chelsea.

It focuses on Zarifa Ghafari, one of Afghanistan's first female mayors, who survived a Taliban assassination attempt and whose father was killed before she fled the country upon the fall of Kabul last year.

The former US Secretary of State said she had fallen in love with Afghan "women and girls who were able to go to school and practice their professions and, as in Zarifa's case, enter politics."

"But as we all know, tragically, the story that you're about to see is one that's almost unimaginable -- to be forced to leave your home, your friends, members of your extended family, to seek a new life elsewhere," she added.

- A-listers -

The Toronto International Film Festival has witnessed the return of large cinephile crowds for which it is renowned, after being hit badly by the pandemic for two muted years.

Steven Spielberg will lead a host of Hollywood A-listers across the border for the world premiere of his deeply personal, childhood-inspired "The Fabelmans."

Other stars due in Toronto this weekend include Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne in "The Good Nurse," Jennifer Lawrence in "Causeway," and Daniel Craig in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." 
TIFF runs until September 18.

"And Philippa Langley herself was marginalized, and is marginalized even after her quest to discover the lost king." - 'Woman King' - Elsewhere in Toronto Friday, Viola Davis and John Boyega kept the royal theme center-stage as they walked the red carpet for the launch of "The Woman King," a historical epic about the 19th-century female warriors of the west African kingdom of Dahomey. "It's great to have a project that highlights female leaders, but at the same time, it's great to show the vulnerabilities and the hardship that can sometimes come with that," Boyega told AFP. "To show what needs to be overcome... I think (is) something that men and women can be inspired by," he added. And Hillary Clinton introduced "In Her Hands," a new Netflix documentary about women's rights in Afghanistan which she produced alongside her daughter Chelsea. It focuses on Zarifa Ghafari, one of Afghanistan's first female mayors, who survived a Taliban assassination attempt and whose father was killed before she fled the country upon the fall of Kabul last year. The former US Secretary of State said she had fallen in love with Afghan "women and girls who were able to go to school and practice their professions and, as in Zarifa's case, enter politics." "But as we all know, tragically, the story that you're about to see is one that's almost unimaginable -- to be forced to leave your home, your friends, members of your extended family, to seek a new life elsewhere," she added.

As the internet turned into an ugly place for Ismael Cruz Córdova and he got subjected to several racist comments from haters and trolls online, some Hollywood actors came forward to show support for the actor, who made history by becoming the first Latino elf in the popular 'Lord of the Rings' saga.

The 35-year-old actor has been plagued by racist texts from trolls and not everyone is being supportive of Amazon's decision of casting more diversely, in terms of both race and gender. And, some netizens feel the castings won't represent the original characters or the source material.

Other than Córdova, Sophia Nomvete, who plays Princess Disa the dwarf in the series, has also been a victim of internet attacks.&nbsp;

Seeing the unnecessary outrage online, the Hollywood fraternity came forward to speak in their support.&nbsp;

The View's moderator Whoopi Goldberg called out netizens who aren't comfortable with Black actors playing pivotal roles in fantasy shows. "They don't exist in the real world," Goldberg said. "You know that, there are no dragons. There are no hobbits. And there are critics that are saying they were 'too woke' by adding diverse characters. Are you telling me Black people can't be fake people too? Is that what you're telling me?"

The discussion focused on eclectic global content trends, particularly highlighting Disney+ Hotstar’s role in shaping content in India and beyond.&nbsp;

Sharing his views on the upcoming Indian lineup, Gaurav Banerjee, “Over the last several years, India has emerged as a content powerhouse, pushing the envelope with stories that transcend language and cultural boundaries. For a nation at the center of the OTT revolution, Disney+ Hotstar’s pioneering stories have been dominating viewers’ preferred content library. We couldn't have asked for a more profound curtain raiser on our upcoming lineup at a globally coveted platform such as D23 Expo 2022, where we have an opportunity to share the glimpse of soon to be launched shows Showtime, Mahabharata and Koffee with Karan Season 8.”

Koffee with Karan Season 8

A deep, raw, unconcealed &amp; uninhibited look into the battle lines that are drawn and crossed to keep the camera rolling and the audience clapping. There is only one emperor that sits on the chair - but what’s a throne without a fight to get there? So, lights…camera…and action!

Mahabharata

The show is based on one of the greatest epics out of ancient India. The Mahabharata speaks of the ultimate conflict between Dharma &amp; Adharma manifested through the battle for succession between the Pandava &amp; Kaurava princes.
