James Gunn Says Nicholas Hoult Wasn't Cast as Superman Because He's a 'More Controlled Actor' While David Corenswet Is 'Loose'
It's widely known that Nicholas Hoult auditioned to be James Gunn's new Superman, and the director is revealing why he lost out on the legendary part. During a recent appearance on Jake Hamilton's Jake Takes, Gunn admitted that the Nosferatu star is 'a great actor' but he merely 'didn't fit the role' of Clark Kent. The Guardians of the Galaxy director thought he was a bit too 'controlled' for the part as opposed to David Corenswet. More from The Hollywood Reporter Nicholas Hoult Recalls Auditioning for 'Superman' on the Same Day as David Corenswet James Gunn's 'Superman' Tracking for $135 Million U.S. Box Office Opening James Gunn Says the "Movie Industry Is Dying" Due to Films Being Made With Unfinished Scripts 'You know, Nick Hoult auditioned [for Superman]. He's a great actor. I mean, some might say he's better than David in certain ways, but he just didn't fit the role, and that's why he didn't get that,' Gunn said. 'As much as you can transform yourself as a person, Nick was just more controlled.' The DC Studios boss further explained that Hoult took part in chemistry tests with other actresses who were up for the role of Lois Lane. 'One of the things that we were also doing was mixing and matching Lois' and Clark's when we were auditioning them, and so I wanted to make sure that we had that chemistry right,' he said. 'And the truth is, Nick, who is a more controlled actor, had really good chemistry with another Lois that was less controlled, so they were opposites.' Ultimately, he settled on casting Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois because of their opposite on-screen chemistry. Gunn clarified, 'David had better chemistry with Rachel [Brosnahan] because she's a very controlled actor, and David is a little bit more, you know, loose, and that creates a different type of dynamism on-screen.' It was previously reported by THR that Hoult was in talks to star in the next Superman. However, he ultimately joined Gunn's new DC universe as villain Lex Luthor. Of their time going for the role, Hoult and Corenswet recalled when they crossed paths on-set while auditioning for the film on the same day during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'I walked out of doing one of my audition scenes, and I was like, 'Yeah, not bad. OK,' And I walked around the corner, and there was lots of shadows on the studio lot and then one ray of sunshine,' Hoult said. 'David had taken a seat in this ray of sunshine and was sitting there, charging up from the sun like Superman does, getting his power… And in that moment, whilst we were shaking hands, I was like, 'I'd be happy if this guy was Superman. I was like, 'You're perfect for it.'' Earlier in the interview, Hamilton asked Gunn what other actors who were up for the part lacked in comparison to the Twisters star. 'A lot of times casting is finding the right person for the right role,' he said. 'So, most people weren't doing anything wrong; they just didn't fit how I envisioned this Superman to be.'

Lizzo Fires Back at Ozempic Critics: ‘This S**t Is Hard'
Lizzo is once again hitting back at busybodies and skeptics who won't stop speculating on her weight loss. In an interview with Women's Health, the 37-year-old singer aimed to make her mindset, motivation, and methods crystal clear. She directed some comments at those who, despite her previous statements, insist that Lizzo's changing figure is attributed to GLP-1 drugs. Lizzo shared with writer Jessica Herndon that she's recently received questions from fans, like, 'Are you taking Ozempic?' and 'What happened when you said it's okay to be fat?' This is not to say that the artist seeks to shade those who turn to GLP-1 drugs in their healthcare journeys. She said, 'If I did all of this on Ozempic....I would be just as proud of myself, because this s**t is hard.' For the 'About Damn Time' singer, this wasn't a weight loss journey, but a weight release journey. Because, as Lizzo sees it, she didn't actually lose anything. 'It's okay to release weight...[and] it's okay to gain weight after you've released weight,' she says. In January, Lizzo posted photos to her Instagram wearing workout gear paired with an ecstatic caption. 'I reached my weight release goal,' she wrote, adding a motivational message for fans about achieving their own goals. 'I wanted to be 'big-girl skinny,'' she tells Women's Health. 'Every big girl knows what I'm talking about. Big-girl skinny is 250 pounds.' This meant a balance of feeling like herself while reducing back pain and health concerns she struggled with. The change, she explains, came from consistent exercise and a nutritious diet with lean proteins and vegetables. Each week, she performs a mix of strength training and cardio for three days, and dedicates two days to 45-minute cardio workouts. It wasn't about chasing thinness—only feeling better in her body, on her terms.

On 40th Anniversary Of Live Aid, Bob Geldof Denounces 'Thuggery' Of Trump, Vance, Musk As He Questions Why Charity Has Become 'Almost An Embarrassment'
Bob Geldof didn't mince words about those in charge across the pond as he celebrated 40 years of Live Aid. 'The thuggery of Musk, and Vance and Trump, this confederacy of dunces, these abject fools,' he said at an event launching a set of BBC Live Aid shows late last week. More from Deadline BBC Sparks Storm Over Failure To Pull Plug On Glastonbury Act Bob Vylan's "Appalling Hate Speech" Simon Wiesenthal Center Slams Glastonbury's "Bland Response" To Bob Vylan's "Death To The IDF" Chant 'Squid Game' Creator Compares Show's Villains To Elon Musk: "Musk Is Everywhere These Days" Geldof was bemoaning how rather than upping charity as the world flounders under several generational catastrophes, the response from the U.S. and others has been to 'cut it off.' 'These ketamine-crazed narcissists swing their f**king hedge trimmers around their heads and say, this weekend, we're feeding U.S. AID to the wood chipper,' he added of the end of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 'Seriously, the strongest nation on Earth, the most powerful man on the planet, and the richest individual ever seen in the history of our world… cackle, over feeding U.S. help to the weakest, most vulnerable people in the world into the wood chipper. Ladies and gentlemen, there is something seriously f**ked about that.' He flagged a recent New York Times opinion piece that questioned Musk's claim that 'no one' has died since American aid was slashed, pointing to the crisis in South Sudan, which has been struggling without U.S. Aid. Forty years ago, Live Aid's benefit concert and its catchy 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' tune was celebrated as a generator of millions to help poor people suffering from famine around the world. But in recent years, critiques of a white savior complex have crept in. Geldof said the very notion of charity has become 'an almost embarrassment.' 'We have to say it in inverted commas, in ironic quotes,' he added. 'It sounds pious, but you pass by outside in [Central London's] Piccadilly, someone in the street, and you don't have to put your hand in your pocket, but to just not acknowledge it and register. Then I'm convinced that something deeply human inside of you withers and dies. That's charity. I'm not embarrassed in the least by that word, but we can't say it on radio anymore, television.' A BBC-CNN co-production, Live Aid at 40, will launch on July 6 on the BBC and July 13 on CNN featuring exclusive interviews with Geldof, Bono and George Bush. Live Aid the Concert will also be shown on the BBC. The shows are produced by Zinc-backed Brook Lapping, Ronachan Films and Zinc Media.
