with Esquire UK where Elba said that he had stopped describing himself as a “black actor” since it limited his career. The “Cats” actor said it is “really difficult” for celebrities to have an opinion according to a new interview with The Guardian. Explaining that his words were “overly scrutinized, taken out of context” and “thrown into some sort of bulls–t, zeitgeisty social media argument.”“Me saying I don’t like to call myself a Black actor is my prerogative.

Idris Elba has further addressed his thoughts on race and why he doesn’t call himself a “Black Actor”, telling critics it’s his “prerogative”.The actor had originally discussed racism and his thoughts on it within the scope of his career and life last month. Elba said while “racism is very real,” he said that he believed people gave it too much power and allowed it to hinder their growth and aspirations.“If we spent half the time not talking about the differences but the similarities between us, the entire planet would have a shift in the way we deal with each other,” Elba told Esquire. “As humans, we are obsessed with race.”The Suicide Squad star continued: “And that obsession can really hinder people’s aspirations, hinder people’s growth.

Despite having music in her blood — she’s the granddaughter of Elvis Presley — Keough says she had no professional singing experience coming into the show. That seems almost unbelievable upon hearing the first note she sings, her voice velvety yet jagged, in the debut episode.

Riley Keough and her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, are bringing their love to the big screen.The 33-year-old actress revealed Thursday's episode of  how her husband scored a cameo in Daisy Jones & The Six.“Well, the cameo came about because I have to have intercourse,” Riley said, adding, «With a random person on the show.»Riley said the producers thought “it would be so funny” if they cast her husband — and he agreed. When Meyers asked if it was easier to shoot the scene with her husband, Riley had a surprising answer. “It was more awkward,” she admitted. “I think that they were thinking it would be less awkward, then we got there and like this is really uncomfortable.

Shooting intimate scenes with your actual partner can be pretty awkward.
