It is true what they say about actors: they change like chameleons!

 
In new, now-viral photos of Oscar-winning actor Helen Mirren from the London set of her new film has left everyone confused: she is barely recognisible as Israel's former Prime Minister aka 'Iron Lady' Golda Meir.&nbsp; 
The facial prosthetics has turned Mirren years older, with her looking frumpy as she dresses in a baggy dress and wears her silver hair in a back-pulled messy bun.&nbsp;

In these pictures, Mirren can be seen smoking cigarettes, reportedly as part of her character preparation, with co-star Camille Cottin. &nbsp;

 
“Golda Meir was a formidable, intransigent and powerful leader. It is a great challenge to portray her at the most difficult moment of her extraordinary life. I only hope I do her justice!,” Mirren had said in the past about her playing the iconic leader in 'Golda'.

Died in 1978, Golda Meir has stood for her country during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 — when Egypt, Syria and Jordan launched a surprise attack on Israel for regaining power that they had lost during the Six-Day War in 1967.&nbsp;

 
“Every day I put on makeup. I didn’t do it for Taylor because Taylor never notices. He asks if I’ve got makeup on or not and doesn’t really care, but he certainly doesn’t notice,” she had once told a media outlet about her love for make-up and how she doesn't glam up for her husband, director Taylor Hackford.

Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif to stay in exclusive royal suites worth 7lac per night

Spend 10 seconds with Colton Underwood, and you get why “The Bachelor” figured he was a home run. He has a boy-next-door smile and an aw-shucks manner. He’s brawny. He hikes.

 
But in April, in an emotional interview on “Good Morning America,” the former NFL linebacker, who made hearts flutter two years ago as the virginal leading man on ABC’s aggressively heterosexual hit dating franchise “The Bachelor,” said the no-going-back words “I’m gay.”

 
Underwood, 29, brawls with contradictions. He’s a Christian who refuses to believe in the version of God he learned about as a Catholic altar boy. He loves football, but the locker room is where he felt most afraid to reveal his true self.

 
Now he shops at Kohl’s and on Rodeo Drive. He has a boyfriend, and is also attracted to women, but is not bisexual. His Grindr tribes would probably be Clean-Cut and Rugged.

 
So much identity straddling — that’s what brings Underwood back to reality television for “Coming Out Colton,” a new six-episode docu-series on Netflix that arrives Friday. The series, which started filming before his “Good Morning America” appearance, is a heartfelt but carefully packaged diary, in which Underwood reveals his sexual orientation to unsuspecting family members, friends and others, and gets a crash course in gay.

 
Underwood hopes the show helps people see how coming out can be a gift. But he also wants to make amends for going on “The Bachelor” in a failed attempt, he said, to “bury being gay.” And to address troubles that arose in turn, including a restraining order filed against him by his ex-girlfriend and criticism that he’s cashing in on something he shouldn’t.

 
“I’ve lived my life so publicly straight, and I ran from a community I’ve belonged to my entire life,” he said over breakfast at Hugo’s, a diner on Santa Monica Boulevard he picked. “I knew there was going to be a lot of people who didn’t understand. Maybe at the end of these six episodes, people still don’t understand. But at least I’ve tried to undo the wrongs.”

 
Underwood gets an assist on the series from his friend Gus Kenworthy, a skier and Olympian who came out as gay in 2015. Compared to Underwood, Kenworthy is a gay sage: He teaches Underwood what cisgender means (“cis means that your gender that you identify with is the same as the gender you were assigned at birth,” he explains in one scene) and sits with Underwood for a history lesson at the Stonewall Inn.

 
An executive producer on the series, Underwood knows he has privilege and a platform, which is why he said he sought counsel from people who aren’t white gay cisgender men, including Nicole Garcia, a transgender Latina pastor. In an email, Garcia said Underwood could be a role model, especially to let young athletes know they “can be male, athletic, gay and be successful, loved and respected.”

 
This being reality TV, Underwood didn’t prepare the people he comes out to on camera — what we see, he said, is their genuine reaction to the news that he is gay. Initially, that didn’t sit well with his mother, Donna Burkard, the first person he comes out to on the show. (Underwood’s parents are divorced but on good terms.)

 
Burkard said her son’s revelation was a surprise, and she was uneasy with the camera but resigned to it. Then her mama bear emerged.

 
“We decided if we could help a single family, and hopefully multiple families, by showing the love and support that I believe I displayed, other gay men and women in hiding could see a flicker of hope that their parents are going to respond with open arms,” she said in a phone interview.

 
Underwood’s biggest protector on the show is his father, Scott Underwood, who said he loves his son — “a strong person,” he called him for coming out on national television. But did he have to get the news while they fished?

 
“I’m not saying I’m upset about it, but I would have preferred it had been done differently,” he said by phone. But his son is “an entertainer, let’s face it,” he continued. “That’s what he’s chosen to do for his career.”

 
“Am I going to say it’s for fame?” he added, referring to his son’s decision to star in the series. “No. Did he come out on TV for money? Sure. But who in reality entertainment doesn’t leverage their life and put it all out there for money?”

 
Check out Underwood’s recent Instagram post about the series, and it’s clear that a lot of people think his post-“Bachelor” controversies should disqualify him from a Netflix deal. (Many others disagree.)

 
An online petition with more than 35,000 signatures as of late November asks Netflix to cancel the series because of stalking and harassment allegations that Underwood’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, outlined in a restraining order she filed against him in September 2020. Randolph was the woman Underwood chose to marry on “The Bachelor,” but their season didn’t conclude, as most do, with their engagement.

 
In November 2020, Randolph dropped the order, and the two reached a private agreement that prevents much from being said publicly. Underwood has apologized for his behavior.

 
“It’s more sad than anything else that I was ever even in a position to say the things I said to her or do the things I did,” Underwood said. Randolph did not reply to requests for comment.

 
Jeff Jenkins, an executive producer of “Coming Out Colton,” said a talent agent originally pitched the show to him as a reality series about Underwood and Randolph as a couple. When their relationship ended, Jenkins said, the show’s direction pivoted. Underwood met with him to explain that he was considering coming out.

 
“We saw the positive of him sharing his story,” said Jenkins, an executive producer of “I Am Cait,” a series about Caitlyn Jenner’s life as a transgender woman, with which “Coming Out Colton” shares LGBTQ reality show DNA.

 
Asked about Underwood’s motives, Jenkins said: “He already has fame and — not to speak out of turn — but this documentary is not going to make him rich.”

 
Damla Dogan, Netflix’s director of unscripted series, wrote in an email that the streaming service trusted the producers to address Underwood’s “complicated story, which includes him taking accountability.” Asked how the show fits into Netflix’s strategy for queer programming, especially following the accusations of transphobia in Dave Chappelle’s most recent comedy special, “The Closer,” Dogan said, “It would be unfair to Colton to put the weight of all LGBTQ representation on his shoulders.”

 
“One person’s experience will not fill the void of queer stories on TV,” Dogan wrote in an email. “We have to do better as an industry to highlight more kinds of lives and love.”

 
Then there’s the timing. The series begins on Nov. 6, 2020, five months before Underwood revealed his sexuality on TV, which means he came out to his professional team before his family. To some, that appears more like a monetized career move than an unvarnished emotional reckoning.

 
John Casey, the editor-at-large for The Advocate, wrote in an opinion column that Underwood “has failed women and the LGBTQ+ community by deriding our coming out process, particularly for those of us who took on great peril to be ourselves.”

 
Attempts to reach Casey were unsuccessful. The LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD, which is thanked in the show’s credits, declined to comment.

 
Underwood said his hand had been forced because, as he also told Variety, he got an anonymous email last year from someone who claimed to have nude photos of him at a spa known for a gay clientele. He admits he was there, but the photos never surfaced. The first person he ever came out to was his publicist.

 
Underwood knew his family had to be next. Having cameras around, he said, captured the drama but also held him accountable. He said he found comfort thinking: “Today you’re about to come out to your dad and you cannot run.” (He came out to people in his life off-camera, too.)

 
The only time Underwood looked antsy in our conversation was while talking about his boyfriend of several months, political strategist Jordan C. Brown. Underwood didn’t say much other than that he was “very happy and very in love” with Brown and that the two men’s families have met.

 
“The easiest way for me to say it is that it was like me bringing a girl home,” Underwood said, blushing and sounding like someone who really is new to this whole gay thing. “Like, nobody batted an eye.”

 
Underwood isn’t sure what comes next — maybe another gay TV project of some kind. His priority, he said, is doing something he has never been good at. “I have to take care of myself first,” he said.

 
And that means social media, Christians, gay guys, Bachelor Nation, everybody else will have to wait. 
“If it does not make me happy and it does not fulfill me, I don’t want anything to do with it,” he said.

Asked about Underwood’s motives, Jenkins said: “He already has fame and — not to speak out of turn — but this documentary is not going to make him rich.” Damla Dogan, Netflix’s director of unscripted series, wrote in an email that the streaming service trusted the producers to address Underwood’s “complicated story, which includes him taking accountability.” Asked how the show fits into Netflix’s strategy for queer programming, especially following the accusations of transphobia in Dave Chappelle’s most recent comedy special, “The Closer,” Dogan said, “It would be unfair to Colton to put the weight of all LGBTQ representation on his shoulders.” “One person’s experience will not fill the void of queer stories on TV,” Dogan wrote in an email. “We have to do better as an industry to highlight more kinds of lives and love.” Then there’s the timing. The series begins on Nov. 6, 2020, five months before Underwood revealed his sexuality on TV, which means he came out to his professional team before his family. To some, that appears more like a monetized career move than an unvarnished emotional reckoning. John Casey, the editor-at-large for The Advocate, wrote in an opinion column that Underwood “has failed women and the LGBTQ+ community by deriding our coming out process, particularly for those of us who took on great peril to be ourselves.” Attempts to reach Casey were unsuccessful. The LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD, which is thanked in the show’s credits, declined to comment. Underwood said his hand had been forced because, as he also told Variety, he got an anonymous email last year from someone who claimed to have nude photos of him at a spa known for a gay clientele. He admits he was there, but the photos never surfaced. The first person he ever came out to was his publicist. Underwood knew his family had to be next. Having cameras around, he said, captured the drama but also held him accountable. He said he found comfort thinking: “Today you’re about to come out to your dad and you cannot run.” (He came out to people in his life off-camera, too.) The only time Underwood looked antsy in our conversation was while talking about his boyfriend of several months, political strategist Jordan C. Brown. Underwood didn’t say much other than that he was “very happy and very in love” with Brown and that the two men’s families have met. “The easiest way for me to say it is that it was like me bringing a girl home,” Underwood said, blushing and sounding like someone who really is new to this whole gay thing. “Like, nobody batted an eye.” Underwood isn’t sure what comes next — maybe another gay TV project of some kind. His priority, he said, is doing something he has never been good at. “I have to take care of myself first,” he said. And that means social media, Christians, gay guys, Bachelor Nation, everybody else will have to wait. “If it does not make me happy and it does not fulfill me, I don’t want anything to do with it,” he said.

Colton Underwood comes out and comes clean

As Zendaya starts with her press tour for the much-hyped superhero movie, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', we cannot help but talk about her gown from the opening night itself. The young actress is the queen of understated fashion and always loves to make big noise with her statement jewelry and/or gowns. So, she made sure her first public appearance in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' counts.

The eye-catching element of the gown was a golden spine jewelry piece adorning the open back. Also read: Revealed!

Zendaya went for a subtle smokey-eye look and opted for nude lips. We don't know what her performance is going to be like in the movie, but her press tour looks have left us floored already!

The Grammy-nominated R&amp;B singer has been arrested at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport for disturbing public order, reports claim.

 
Later, Lennox tweeted about the incident at the airport, stating, “I’m being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me … Fuck Amsterdam security. They hate black people … I just want to go home. I’ll never leave my house again.”

No one really knew anything about Priyanka Chopra's role in 'Matrix 4' until the film's Korean poster came out. And, we are so thrilled to learn about the character she's got to play in this &nbsp;popular franchise!

 
The Instagram page of Warner Brothers Korea has confirmed what fans have speculated all along: Priyanka Chopra is Sati in Keanu Reeves' 'Matrix Resurrections', popularly known as 'Matrix 4', as they released the film's Korean poster today.

It so happened that on Monday, Warner Brothers Korea took to their Instagram handle and shared the Korean solo posters of the characters from 'The Matrix Resurrections'. While most of the image remained unchanged, some of the text seemed to have undergone some changes.

 
In Priyanka Chopra's solo shot, the film's title was written in local language, Priyanka's character name featured in red: Sati (사티). If that wasn't enough to confirm all those months of speculations, the caption also featured the hashtag Sati.&nbsp;

Can you imagine The Beatles&nbsp;NOT being there absolute authentic selves for anyone? Never!

 
But, the platform that has&nbsp;released&nbsp;a new documentary on their life and legacy wanted the director, Peter Jackson, to do away with all the swearing and smoking.&nbsp;

 
The British rock group has officially joined forces with director Peter Jackson to release their much-anticipated musical documentary, 'Get Back', that is now available for viewing on Disney+.

Reportedly, the project involves many scenes that sees the band smoking and mouthing expletives, which Disney wanted to be dropped. However, the band refused to do that.&nbsp;

 
The three-part docu show includes a disclaimer from the streaming service at the beginning of each episode that says, “This footage contains explicit language, mature themes and smoking.”

 
In a recent interview with a global media outlet, the 'Lord of the Rings' director explained that Beatles members Paul McCartney, 79, and Ringo Starr, 81, refused to drop the cuss words from the final cut.

 
“Paul (McCartney) describes it as being very raw. He said to me: ‘That is a very accurate portrayal of how we were then.’ Ringo [Starr] said: ‘It’s truthful.’ The truthfulness of it is important to them. They don’t want a whitewash," Jackson said.&nbsp;

“They don’t want it to be sanitized. Disney wanted to remove all the swearing and Ringo, Paul, and Olivia [Harrison] said ‘That’s how we spoke. That’s how we talked. That’s how we want the world to see us.’ When [McCartney and Starr] got to see the finished thing, I was expecting notes. It would’ve just been normal to get a note saying: ‘Oh, that bit where I say that — could you cut that out?’ Or ‘Could you shorten the conversation there?’ And I didn’t get a single note,” he continued.

 
&nbsp;Jackson also noted that the band did not want to change anything about their portrayal. “Not one request to do anything. One of them said that they watched it and found it one of the most stressful experiences of their entire life. ‘But I’m not gonna give you any notes.’”

 
About the long runtime of each of the episodes, Jackson said, “I’d like to say that I didn’t really leave out anything that I thought was important … which is why the duration has crept up to what it is today.”

Since he did not want to leave out the important footages, he kept the episodes long. “I felt acutely — and this is the Beatles fan part of me kicking in — anything I don’t include in this movie might go back in the vault for another 50 years. I was seeing and hearing these amazing moments. I thought: ‘God, people have got to see this. This is great. They have to see this,'” Jackson concluded.

 
'Get Back' showcases the band’s songwriting and singing processes, as well as the hardships they had to overcome both as friends and bandmates. The never-before-seen footages also capture the legendary band's January 1969 recording session and final live London show on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters on Savile Row.
