Brandon Routh 'Cried No Less Than Three Times' Watching 'Superman'
Judging by all accounts, whether it's been the initial reception from critics, fans, or those all-important box office numbers the James Gunn-directed film has been putting up, one can probably safely say it's been a huge success.
Having just released in theaters nationwide on July 11, Superman has already seen a domestic box office total of $235 million as of July 20, not to mention $406.8 million globally.
We have even reached the point where another Superman, Brandon Routh, who starred in Superman Returns (2006), was so moved by the reboot starring David Corenswet it apparently brought him to tears multiple times.
"It was a lot of fun," Routh said on Jul 21 while promoting his new film, Ick. "I really enjoyed it. I think David [Corenswet] is fantastic. I cried no less than three times."
From one Superman to the latest Superman, to say you cried "no less than three times" while first seeing the film, in addition to expressing the desire to go see it again, feels like a compliment of the highest order for Corenswet.
And, really, Gunn too.
"I see this in a different way. I come at it from a different perspective," Routh explained. "I really got into it as I'm watching him navigate those tricky Superman moments in the first conversation with Lois and Clark in the apartment. And then all of the family stuff for me really hit. It's a big movie. There's a lot in there. I have to go see it again."
Routh has notably been on the Superman hype train since its domestic release, posting, "Go see #Superman in theaters now!" on Instagram while tagging the movie and some accompanying heart emojis.
The 45-year-old actor went on to express excitement over "the potential for the DC Universe,' adding, 'A successful launch with this is just good for everybody who wants more of what DC has to offer."
Routh's latest project of note, Ick—which is listed as a "science fiction horror comedy"—is scheduled for a limited release in New York City and Los Angeles on July 24, followed by a wider domestic release on July 27.Brandon Routh 'Cried No Less Than Three Times' Watching 'Superman' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 21, 2025

Hulk Hogan's wife Sky breaks silence after his death in heartbreaking post
Hulk Hogan's wife, Sky, has shared an emotional statement about his death. The former wrestler died Thursday at the age of 71, after medics were reportedly called to his home in Clearwater, Florida. While a cause of death hasn't been revealed, TMZ reported he experienced 'cardiac arrest.' Sky, who married Hulk in 2023, broke her silence Friday on Instagram, sharing a sweet picture of herself kissing him on the cheek. In the caption, she also shared details about his physical health before his death. 'I wasn't ready for this…and my heart is in pieces,' Sky, 46, wrote. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time. 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process,' she continued. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.' She added that her husband loved his fans a great deal, 'despite his growing physical discomfort.' 'He did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him,' Sky continued. 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home.' 'Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality,' she concluded. The yoga instructor got engaged to Hulk in July 2023, after a year of dating. They officially tied the knot in September 2023. Sky was Hulk's third wife. The WWE legend was married to Linda Hogan from 1993 to 2009 and then to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021. He and Linda shared two children, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 36. However, Brooke has been estranged from her parents for nearly a decade. Only days before Hulk's death, Linda shared a throwback photo with her ex-husband. She posted a snap from 1996, when they attended a convention in Las Vegas. She simply captioned the post: 'The good old days !' Before meeting Hulk, Sky welcomed three children of her own, but she keeps their lives out of the spotlight. Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hulk skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s, bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream. He went on to become an eight-time WrestleMania headliner and six-time World Wrestling Entertainment champion, in addition to an actor and reality television personality. Hulk has been mourned by the WWE, fellow wrestlers, and political figures. On his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump issued a tribute to Hulk, who became a fixture during Trump's 2024 re-election campaign, appearing at the Republican National Convention to appeal to voters. 'We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,' Trump wrote. He continued: 'He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive.'

Bobbi Althoff Opens Up About Judging Her Mom for Having Kids by Different Men: 'You Are a Hoe'
Bobbi Althoff is learning the hard way that the same standards we judge others by often circle back to bite us. During a recent candid interview with rapper Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast, the viral content creator opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, motherhood, and her complicated relationship with the past, including how she once harshly judged her own mother for decisions she now finds herself unintentionally mirroring. 'You Are a Hoe': Bobbi Admits to Harshly Judging Her Mother In the vulnerable sit-down, Althoff revealed that her current life path, specifically as a co-parent to her two daughters following a divorce, has forced her to revisit the judgments she once hurled at her own mother. 'I judged my mom a lot for doing that,' she admitted around the 13-minute mark of the interview. 'She had two baby daddies and I was like, 'You are a hoe.' And then I got divorced. If I have more kids, I'll have two baby daddies, and that's kind of crazy.' The striking confession stunned listeners for its rawness and honesty. Althoff didn't sugarcoat her hypocrisy. She fully owned it. 'I was married and stuff, and I thought we would be married forever, so I didn't think I was having kids in a broken home, but it happened.' The viral podcaster's self-awareness is cutting and tragically relatable for women who grew up under one set of assumptions only to live through a very different reality. The Divorce: Bobbi and Cory's Split Althoff's split from her now-ex-husband, Cory Althoff, was finalized earlier this year, following a July 4, 2023 separation. In a February Instagram statement announcing their divorce, Bobbi struck a tone of gratitude and mutual respect. 'As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,' she wrote. 'As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to coparent with such an incredible father and person. While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him.' The pair, who share two young daughters, continue to co-parent. But the marriage's collapse left Bobbi publicly reevaluating her image and values, especially as she now faces the likelihood of having more children in the future with different partners. The Drake Rumors: What Really Happened? Despite the amicable public breakup, Bobbi's divorce wasn't without speculation. A persistent rumor swirled in 2023 that the catalyst for the Althoffs' split was a rumored hookup between Bobbi and rapper Drake. The speculation ignited after her The Really Good Podcast interview with the Toronto rapper went viral, then mysteriously vanished. Not only was the interview abruptly deleted, but the two unfollowed each other on Instagram shortly after. That alone was enough for social media sleuths to erupt with theories about what might've happened behind the scenes. Althoff, for her part, shut it down. When Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy messaged her on Instagram to ask whether the Drake rumor was true, she replied privately: 'I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right, that is not true.' Though the denial was clear, the internet continued to speculate. Bobbi's swift rise to podcast fame with high-profile guests and sharp editing had already turned her into a mysterious, deadpan It-girl. The Drake drama only added to the intrigue. The Mystery Man and Another Public Breakup Adding more fuel to the fire, Althoff appeared to 'soft launch' a new relationship on TikTok in December 2024, posting cryptic clips that hinted at a new romantic chapter. Online sleuths speculated that the man in question was NFL cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting of the Atlanta Cardinals. Murphy-Bunting quickly shot that rumor down, clarifying that the two were not dating. Althoff followed up with another announcement: she was single again. Watch the full interview with Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast. Bobbi's monologue begins around the 13-minute mark.

Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to father Ozzy, 'the best friend I ever had'
Ozzy's ex-daughter-in-law also posted a heartfelt tribute to the late rocker, who was a beloved grandfather. Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to her father, Ozzy, on Thursday, sharing poignant lyrics from a song the two recorded together before he died at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease. 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔,' Kelly wrote in a post to Instagram. These are lyrics from the Black Sabbath song 'Changes,' released in 1972 but recorded by Kelly and Ozzy as a duet in 2003, with revised lyrics that showed their strong father-daughter bond. Earlier this month, Osbourne performed what was dubbed his 'final bow' from a throne at Villa Park in the U.K. After the show, Kelly became engaged to her longtime partner, musician Sid Wilson of the band Slipknot, after he got down on one knee backstage. Kelly shared a video of the engagement on Instagram, during which you can hear Ozzy say to Wilson: 'F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter!' which was met with laughs. Wilson and Kelly welcomed a son named Sidney in 2022. More of Osbourne's loved ones have started to post personal tributes to the heavy metal icon, who lived with Parkinson's disease until he died on July 22. Lisa Stelly, who was married to Osbourne's son Jack from 2012 to 2019, posted an emotional tribute to her ex-father-in-law on Instagram, honoring him as a loving grandfather. Jack and Stelly had three daughters while they were married: Pearl, Andy and Minnie. 'The world got Ozzy. We got Papa,' Stelly wrote in the caption. 'One of one. Larger than life. It hurts to say goodbye, but what a gift it was to have him. We will never stop missing you.' The post gives a softer look at the 'Prince of Darkness,' who is smiling as he holds one of his young grandchildren. The post also includes a video of him playfully dodging kisses from one of his grandchildren as she giggles. Other images show the Black Sabbath frontman puckering up for a kiss, cuddling two kiddos at once on a couch and sitting at an outdoor table with Stelly. After Osbourne died, the Osbourne family released the following joint statement signed by wife Sharon and their children Kelly, Jack, Aimee, as well as his son Louis from his prior marriage to Thelma Riley: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Solve the daily Crossword
