James Gunn Says PADDINGTON 2 Is 'One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made' — GeekTyrant
James Gunn has never been shy about his eclectic taste in movies, and now he's revealed a favorite that might surprise some fans… Paddington 2 . Gunn said during an appearance on Konbini's Video Club series: '[Paddington in Peru], I haven't seen, but Paddington 2 is a classic film. It's one of the greatest movies ever made. People think I'm being ironic when I say that. I am not. I am absolutely telling the truth.' Released in 2017, Paddington 2 follows everyone's favorite marmalade-loving bear, voiced by Ben Whishaw, as he navigates a new life in London. Things take a turn when Paddington is wrongly accused of theft, leading his adoptive family on a mission to clear his name. It's a wonderful and charming film and the cast includes Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, and Hugh Grant in one of his most delightfully villainous roles. Gunn isn't the only one singing the film's praises. Critics loved Paddington 2 upon release, and it famously held a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, briefly dethroning Orson Welles' Citizen Kane before slipping to a still-astonishing 99%. That's some serious bear power. As for the franchise, a third installment, Paddington in Peru , hit theaters last year. Meanwhile, Gunn has his own major project with Superman and several other DCU projects currently in development. It's not hard to see why James Gunn thinks Paddington 2 is one of the greatest movies ever made. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out!

Ever fallen asleep in public like Hugh Grant at Wimbledon? This is what it could mean
Actor Hugh Grant has gone viral again – this time for falling asleep at Wimbledon. Sitting behind Queen Camilla in the Royal Box with his wife Anna Eberstein, the Notting Hill star seemingly started to doze off during yesterday's quarter-final match between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli on Centre Court. (To be fair to him, it did last 3 hours and 11 minutes!) Although not a particularly long nap, the moment was caught on camera – with even the BBC poking fun at him, writing on social media: "It's all got a bit much for Hugh Grant." Since, fans have shared their admiration, describing the Paddington 2 actor as a "mood." After all – nodding off in the summer heat is entirely relatable. It's all got a bit too much for Hugh Grant 😴😂#Wimbledon — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 9, 2025 According to Professor Kevin Morgan of Loughborough University, an expert who has dedicated his career to researching human sleep, there are a number of reasons why we – including Grant – fall asleep in public spaces. "Our circadian rhythm is an underlying, physiological ebbing and flowing that drives almost everything," Professor Morgan explains. "It drives our sleep, fullness and wakefulness. It drives most of the things that are rhythmic in our life, and these are usually very clear patterns that our bodies adhere to." Equally, when we age, it alters our circadian rhythm. Morgan says: "In younger people, the peaks and troughs are very clear. They tend to sleep really well, wake up comfortably and hammer through the day. But the older we get – certainly beyond 60 – things change and our sleep gets shorter. You start going to bed earlier, waking up earlier, and your sleep is both lighter and more fragmented. "Put that all together and it means generally you go into the day more vulnerable to those troughs." Now, we're not suggesting that dear Hugh was bored by Djokovic and Cobolli's playing, but oftentimes, a lack of stimulus creates a setting in which you are more likely to fall asleep, according to Morgan. He says: "While we may be able to tolerate less exciting things – more monotonous or boring things at other points of the day, if these things occur mid-afternoon, chances are we will succumb to our sleepiness." On that note, while the sound of tennis balls being hit from one side of the court to the other might not be the direct cause of sleepiness, Morgan agrees that certain environmental factors, such as noises, rhythmic sounds and vibrations, can encourage drowsiness. He adds: "There's a kind of reciprocal rhythm to the sound of a tennis ball being hit. Of course, if you're really into the match, your arousal levels may be high, but if not, it can feed into this monotony. "Studies show that if you're tired enough, no amount of noise will prevent you from nodding off – so it's not that you need to have some kind of hypnotic, rhythmic pulse to fall asleep. But it can set up an environment which encourages it." Of course, this week has been pretty warm in the UK, and temperatures in Centre Court can be rather toasty, given the design of the space – something that Morgan believes could have played a part in the actor's sleepiness. "It's no accident that in countries in southern Europe they have adopted the siesta in the middle of the day," he says. "It coincides, again, with our circadian rhythm and the hot weather encourages a kind of stupor – one of the reasons why being that we tend not to be so active in the heat and generally feel lethargic. So, again, it's about people's natural propensities interacting with environmental challenges." Another key factor in why we can feel drowsy in the day is how well we slept the night before – and for how long. "If you go into the day sleepy, you're more likely going to fall asleep under any circumstances," Morgan comments. Finally, what we eat throughout the day can have a big impact on how we feel and perform. For example, if you have a heavy, carb-filled lunch, you're more likely to start drifting off in the afternoon as a result.

Hugh Grant Caught Sleeping At Wimbledon
For the average person, sitting in the Royal Box at Wimbledon would be a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable experience. But for some of the UK's most prestigious stars, it's literally just another day out — and it certainly seemed that way for Hugh Grant this week. If you're unfamiliar with the Royal Box, it's the super fancy bit of Wimbledon's Center Court that is reserved for the British Royal family (duh) and other Royals from around the world, as well as heads of government. Most celebs who go to Wimbledon do not get to sit in the Royal Box unless they are specifically invited by the Chair of the All England Club. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Hugh was absolutely thrilled by the honor to sit with the Royals and watch the world's best tennis players do their thing on Center Court. But, at the same time, it also looked like he may have had a little snooze amid all the action. During the live TV broadcast of Wednesday's quarter-final between seven-time Wimbledon Champion, Novak Djokovic, and 23-year-old Italian player, Flavio Cobolli, the BBC cameras cut to Hugh in the Royal Box looking suspiciously like he might be having a nap. For what it's worth, the Notting Hill star had his sunglasses on, so it's hard to tell if he was actually sleeping or not. But, either way, his slumped posture definitely gave the impression that he wasn't all that focused on the match. His wife, Anna Eberstein, looked totally unfazed by her husband's apparent sleepiness. And to make matters even funnier, the couple were sitting right behind the literal Queen Camilla. Eeek. Fortunately, the Queen appeared not to catch on, although Hugh's sleepy moment didn't go unnoticed by viewers. Some weren't all that pleased by Hugh's apparent lack of engagement with the match, with a few X users suggesting that his behavior was ungrateful and that he shouldn't 'get an invite again if he can't be bothered to stay awake and watch.' However, it's safe to say most people found the whole thing quite amusing. My favorite reactions are those pointing out that he showed no signs of sleepiness when he attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London last year, where he seemingly had a lot of fun hanging out with Travis Kelce in the VIP tent. And in the most British turn of events ever, the one and only Paddington Bear decided to weigh in on the conversation, too. (Hugh was in Paddington 2. If you don't know, I suggest you get to know.) Hugh hasn't addressed the moment yet, but my eyes are glued to his X account in case he decides to grace us with a funny post about the whole thing. That said, it's also possible he's still sleeping. Who knows?
