Charlie Cox
, popularly known as Marvel's Daredevil, made an unexpected mark within gaming with his Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's role. Despite him voicing the key character in the surprising 2025 game hit, Cox offered a disarmingly modest take on his involvement.
He stunned the fans with a remarkably humble reaction, as he received all praise for his role in the game's success. The candid comments shared by him reveal an unexpected perspective on the game's acclaim.
Charlie Cox gives an unexpectedly humble reaction to his
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
role
When fans and critics continued praising Charlie Cox's role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the Daredevil star was caught off-guard. In one of the recent interviews, Cox didn't hold back feelings about all the praise coming his way.
The actor confesses openly, "People keep saying how amazing it and congratulations and I feel like a total fraud." His honesty stems from his limited contribution—via voice recording and the lack of gaming experience.

The star further added that his role was confined to a single and brief recording session that lasted only about 4 hours. "My agent asked me if I wanted to go and do a voice-over. I was in the studio for 4 hours… maybe," he stated.

Despite the modesty shown by Cox, Gustave's role has been praised widely; after all, it adds an emotional depth to the protagonist of the game. As he has not played this critically acclaimed game, an overwhelmingly positive response caught him off-guard.
He was thrilled about the achievement of the development team.
A low-key role proved to be more in this breakout hit
Unlike some big-budget games that go on and on with months of promotion, Cox was actually not a part of Expedition 33 marketing push.
During its release, he was actually busy filming 'Daredevil: Born Again.' It left very little time for him to do the game-related press. Such lack of visibility led many fans to mistake Gustave's voice for another actor's, adding to Cox's fraudulent remark.
Yet, the performance of the Daredevil star stood out. Some of his co-stars, including Ben Starr and Andy Serkis, praised Cox for his commitment. They said they are all not just tourists in the game.
Despite a very brief recording time, Cox was able to deliver a gripping portrayal that helped elevate Expedition 33 to be Game of the Year contender.
Developed by Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has defied expectations. With the hybrid combat system and unique art style, the game has become a surprise hit. The game proves that even a small role can create a lasting impression with the emotional core of the story that was brought in by Coxs Gustave. While Cox might downplay contributions and feel like an accidental star, the fans and the critical do disagree.
With the success of the game, Expedition 33 is a standout title today, and it opens the door for many more Hollywood talent to join in on gaming—especially after Cox's performance.

'Pleading for forgiveness':Blake Lively refuses to let Taylor Swift cut her off as Travis Kelce quietly sides with the his lady love
Blake Lively's longstanding friendship with Taylor Swift is said to be over (Getty Images) Blake Lively is fighting to save more than her reputation—she's desperately trying to hold on to her friendship with Taylor Swift , even as the fallout from her legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni sends shockwaves through her personal life. With Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce now quietly distancing himself from Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds , insiders say the divide is becoming increasingly public—and painful. Blake Lively fights to win back Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce cuts ties with Ryan Reynolds Despite Swift's decision to step back, Blake Lively is reportedly doing everything she can to repair the rift. 'Blake is devastated that things have gotten to this place, and she's refusing to accept that their friendship is over. She's been texting and calling Taylor, pleading for forgiveness,' a source close to the actress revealed. — PerezHilton (@PerezHilton) The rift widened after a leaked message from Blake to Baldoni stirred controversy. 'If you ever get round to watching Game of Thrones , you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi. And like her, I happen to have a few dragons,' Blake reportedly wrote—an eyebrow-raising statement that some believe referenced Swift as one of her symbolic 'dragons.' But sources close to Taylor strongly deny she'd ever see herself in such a role. 'She would never think of herself as Blake's dragon, or protector,' one insider emphasized. And the fallout is now reaching beyond the women themselves. Travis Kelce, who has become a central figure in Taylor's highly public personal life, has subtly made his stance known by unfollowing Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo It's a quiet move—but one fans haven't missed—and suggests Kelce is standing in solidarity with Swift as she distances herself from the drama. Blake, meanwhile, isn't backing down. Determined to make things right, she's reportedly enlisted mutual friends like Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek to help rebuild the bridge to Taylor. Jackman, a longtime friend of Ryan, is said to be acting as a mediator behind the scenes. But Blake may be losing more than just Taylor. Insiders say that members of Swift's inner circle, including Gigi Hadid , Selena Gomez , and Cara Delevingne, have already backed away from the actress. 'They acted like they were her friends, but the moment Taylor was upset, they showed their true colours,' the source added. With Blake continuing to plead her case and Travis Kelce quietly backing Taylor, the odds of a full reconciliation remain uncertain. Still, Blake isn't giving up. 'She loves Taylor and misses her terribly, and she'll do anything to fix this,' says the source. Whether Swift—and Kelce—are willing to open that door again remains to be seen.

Stefon Diggs trains like a beast even while vacationing in a castle with Cardi B
Cardi B lives like royalty as Stefon Diggs surprises her with castle vacation in the heart of France (Getty Images) Most of us would be chilling by the pool if we were staying in a literal 13th-century castle in France with Cardi B. But not Stefon Diggs. The man's on vacation, surrounded by chandeliers and moats, and he's still out here hitting workouts like Week 1 is tomorrow. Talk about a grindset. The wide receiver isn't just winning in the romance department, he's proving he might be one of the NFL's hardest workers too. Stefon Diggs and Cardi B are living their royal fantasy in a real French castle Yes, this isn't a metaphor. Stefon Diggs rented out the Château de Farcheville, a legit medieval castle just outside Paris, for a dreamy escape with Cardi B. We're talking stone towers, a full-blown moat, grand halls, and rooms straight out of Bridgerton. According to The Cut , the castle goes for a casual $12,000 per night, and it comes with wild extras like a music room, underground wine cellar, a spa, and even a spot where Cardi joked she would 'take that royal s—.' Iconic. Cardi went full MTV Cribs on Instagram, showing off the massive estate and asking the very valid question: 'Why this man got us staying in a castle?' Let's be honest, we were all wondering the same thing. But Stefon Diggs wasn't just lounging, he was grinding like it was training camp While Cardi was giving castle-core queen, Diggs was giving boot camp prince. She posted videos of him actually training on the castle grounds, working out with resistance bands and going through drills while the rest of us would've been floating in the indoor pool. Because apparently, 'no days off' applies even when there are literal knights' statues and gold leaf ceilings involved. That's dedication, you don't just fake for the 'Gram. Diggs and Cardi just made things public with their courtside debut at a Knicks game earlier this summer. This castle trip? It feels like the hard launch of a football-rap power couple. With Cardi teasing her next album and Diggs gearing up for a fresh chapter in Houston, this French getaway is doing double duty: it's romance and PR rolled into one.
