Madsen's younger sister, actress Virginia Madsen, was one of the first to break her silence on the 'Hateful Eight' star's unexpected passing. 'My brother Michael has left the stage,' Virginia, 63, told Variety in a statement Thursday. 'He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw.

We're not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart,' the 'Candy Man' actress continued. 'Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes — gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable — half legend, half lullaby.' 'I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him,' she concluded. 'I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother.' Madsen's 'Reservoir Dogs' co-star Harvey Keitel, as well as his 'Kill Bill' co-star Vivica A. Fox, also reacted to the shocking news of his death on Thursday. 12 Madsen as Mr. Blonde and Harvey Keitel as Mr. White in 'Reservoir Dogs.'

All About Aimee Lou Wood's Boyfriend, Adam Long
Actress Aimee Lou Wood first became famous as Aimee Gibbs on Sex Education, but her dramatic role on HBO's The White Lotus spurred an even deeper interest in the star's personal life. Woods, however, prefers to keep her personal life private. In 2021 she told Grazia, 'I find it hard when I'm in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am. I'm very independent, but I'm also quite impressionable. I can be taken away from myself quite easily, I kind of start betraying myself and compromising my integrity, to keep someone else happy. That's why it's really important for me to have time alone.' Wood did previously date her Sex Education co-star Connor Swindells, but they broke up amicably after a few years together. She also told Grazia, 'We'd had some time apart and then we realized that maybe the relationship wasn't serving us both. We still really love each other and respect each other. It was an okay breakup, it wasn't dramatic. I felt like a dam burst, then all of a sudden I was hurting, but I needed to be there, because I'd become a bit numb and it was nice to suddenly feel everything again.' In June 2025, it was reported there was a new love in her life: actor Adam Long. By July, Wood was making things Instagram official with a photo in her Stories of a night out with her co-star. Here's everything we know about the new couple so far. The 34-year-old actor is best known for his role on British detective series, Happy Valley, where he plays convict Lewis Whippey. His other credits include Spike Island, Bancroft, Dunkirk, The Thirteenth Tale, Vera, The Kill Team, Masters of the Air, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, and Day of the Jackal. Long doesn't post a lot on Instagram, but he is into long-distance running and working out. He even did the Ironman competition: Long and Wood are starring in the BBC's series Film Club together, where they were actually cast as a couple. The show is about a girl named Evie who is navigating saying goodbye to her best friend after they get a job across the country. Wood actually co-wrote the show with real-life friend Ralph Davis. It's unclear when they first started dating, but they've been working on Film Club for the past year. The couple was first seen sharing a kiss in June, per the Daily Mail. In July 2025, Wood made her relationship with actor Adam Long Instagram official when she shared a picture of him in her Stories from their recent trip to the Glastonbury musical festival. In the nighttime photo, Long is laying in Wood's lap with his arms up and wrapped around her. The star is wearing sunglasses and a jean jacket with pink bottoms. She has her hair styled in two braids.
