British YouTuber Apologises Days After Eating Chicken In ISKCON's Govinda's Eatery In London
British-African YouTuber Cenzo went viral a few days earlier after a video of him eating chicken in a vegetarian restaurant started making rounds. The footage also drew outrage after people criticised him for hurting the sentiments of a community. Now, the YouTuber has issued an apology, acknowledging his mistakes.
The viral video showed Cenzo entering an outlet of Govinda's Restaurant in London. The popular eatery is part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), which follows spiritual and religious practices. Cenzo could be seen confirming at the counter if it was a vegan place. After he received an answer that the place doesn't serve any meat or chicken, the man took out a KFC box from a plastic bag.
He not only opened the bag but also ate the pieces in front of the people standing at the counter. He can then be seen roaming around the premises of the restaurant, asking people if they would like to have a bite of the chicken piece.
Cenzo, who is of African descent, was soon asked by the restaurant staff to leave the premises. However, his actions at the vegetarian kitchen were enough to upset several netizens. While he clarified that his act was part of a prank to visit vegan places, his video garnered widespread outrage.
In a follow-up video shared on X, Cenzo said, 'If I had known that the restaurant was with the temple, I would have never filmed that prank and left." He revealed his intention to personally visit the restaurant and apologise. He also accepted that his actions were 'ill-timed and irresponsible'.
He added that the criticism forced him to research about the restaurant and its religious ideology. 'They believe in no violence and peaceful behaviour towards animals and people. My actions came off as offensive to the community, and I would like to offer heartfelt, sincere apologies," he said.
The YouTuber also read about the strict dietary practices of the community, who believe in eating no meat, or even onion and garlic. He believes that his actions crossed a line and hurt the Hindu community.

Ben Affleck ‘Uncomfortable' With Jennifer Garner, Ryan Reynolds' Growing Bond: Report
Last Updated: Jennifer grew close to Ryan Reynolds through director Shawn Levy, a mutual friend and the man behind Deadpool & Wolverine. Jennifer Garner is said to be spending more time with Ryan Reynolds, and not everyone is thrilled about it. Her ex-husband Ben Affleck isn't too happy about how close the two have become in recent months especially as they share more professional ties. According to National Enquirer, Affleck and his longtime friend Matt Damon don't exactly see Reynolds eye to eye. 'Let's just say up front that Ben and Matt are not friends with Ryan, and, in fact, [they] see him as something of a direct competitor, even though they have tons of mutual collaborators and even business team members in common," a source told the publication. Garner reportedly grew close to Reynolds through director Shawn Levy, a mutual friend and the man behind Deadpool & Wolverine. The source adds that Levy 'prides himself" on building creative connections, and with Reynolds and Hugh Jackman teaming up for an upcoming comedy. 'It's a safe bet that Jen is going to show up in that project," the source said. Garner recently stepped back into her role as Elektra with a short cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine and sources say she is excited about being part of that creative circle again. According to the insider, she finds the 'energy" around Reynolds and the rest of the team 'different" especially compared to what she experienced with Affleck and Damon. 'As Jen continues to cement her own Hollywood coalition, Ryan is a key player in all that," the source added. Though Garner and Affleck have kept a cordial relationship since their 2018 divorce and co-parent their children, the source notes that her new dynamic with Reynolds has left Affleck feeling uneasy. 'That's not comfortable for him, but he simply doesn't have any choice or say in the matter. He has to accept it!" the insider added. This development follows Affleck's recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez whom he married in 2022 after rekindling their early 2000s romance. Their split was finalised in January this year. As Affleck adjusts, he has reportedly been leaning on Garner for support. In December 2024, In Touch quoted a source saying, 'Ben leans on her for everything. He's got his own place, but he's still at her house all the time for family dinners and she never fails to send him home with a care package of food." The insider also said, 'He goes to her whenever he has a big career or life decision to make for her advice." Affleck and Garner got married in 2005 and went their separate ways in 2018 after almost 13 years of marriage. The former couple share three children together: Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose and Samuel.

Games Of Thrones Fame Peter Dinklage Teases The Toxic Avenger's First Glimpse At San Diego Comic-Con
Peter Dinklage and Elijah Wood thrilled fans at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 with a sneak peek of their superhero movie, The Toxic Avenger, releasing on August 29. Hollywood stars Peter Dinklage and Elijah Wood have made fans super happy. On Thursday, the duo teased an early glimpse of their upcoming superhero movie, The Toxic Avenger, in Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The four-day event will conclude on July 27. The Toxic Avenger, directed by Macon Blair, was announced back in 2023 with its trailer premiering in September of the same year. The film was, however, stalled after the makers failed to secure a distributor. The much-awaited superhero reboot is finally coming to the US theatres on August 29. The Toxic Avenger revolves around an ordinary janitor, Winston Gooze, played by Peter Dinklage, who transforms into a mutant vigilante after an accident at a chemical factory. The newfound superpowers help Winston fight against the slimy criminals and a corrupted CEO. Apart from Peter and Elijah Wood, the movie also stars Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige in crucial roles. Peter Dinklage revealed that slipping into the shoes of the 'mop-wielding superhero" Toxie in the film was 'an easy yes" for him, reported People magazine. The Game of Thrones actor credited this to the filmmaker and fellow Comic-Con panelist Lloyd Kaufman, who made the original Toxic Avenger film in 1984. Peter Dinklage On The Toxic Avenger Subtly hinting at the theme of The Toxic Avenger, Peter Dinklage said, 'Environmental concerns are an ongoing thing, now more than ever. The great way to get into that is through satire, through the backdoor, through humor. This just felt so perfect and necessary and needed." The actor further admitted that he was a 'huge fan" of director Macon Blair. Peter Dinklage heaped praise on his body-double, Luisa Guerreiro, for doing a fantastic job. 'Over 70% of my performance is not me. Guerreiro studied all my movements like a hawk and did a better me than I did." Elijah Wood, who essays the character of an antagonist, Fritz in The Toxic Avenger, said, 'There's a beating heart in there. I love the horror genre because of the possibilities. This movie is filled to the brim with ideas, and fun and playing with the medium."
