The Australian star who once captured hearts in The Kissing Booth has officially entered the most prestigious circle in Hollywood. Jacob Elordi has secured his first-ever Academy Award nomination, marking a massive turning point for the 28-year-old actor.

Elordi reportedly spent anywhere from four to ten hours a day in the makeup chair to become the stitched-together Creature.

Christina Applegate has opened up about a major career moment involving Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy . The actor revealed that the studio’s initial pay offer for her role as Veronica Corningstone was so low she considered it offensive. To ensure she stayed on board, director Adam McKay and star Will Ferrell stepped in to give up portions of their salaries. An Offer She Had To Refuse In her new memoir, You With the Sad Eyes , Applegate recalls the casting process for the 2004 comedy classic. While she beat out several high-profile actresses for the part, the financial side of the deal was less than stellar. The original offer from the studio was significantly lower than the pay for her male co-stars. Applegate says she knew her worth and was prepared to walk away from the project because the number did not meet her professional quote. The discrepancy was particularly sharp given the film’s plot. Anchorman famously satirizes the 1970s newsroom culture and the struggle for ...

It is often noted that he would personally call the parents of his younger colleagues to let them know their children were being looked after during fil...
