Image credits: Getty Images "Ain't nobody looking at him." Whoever thought someone would say this about Andrew Garfield one day? However, if there's a woman as beautiful as the one sitting behind him in this picture then we get the sentiment too. Recently, Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield attended a Wimbledon match with his girlfriend, actress Monica Barbaro . Clad in white, the couple painted the picture of the perfect love birds, enjoying the thrill of the game and the togetherness with a partner in the stands. Soon the internet was full of happy photographs of the couple enjoying their time at the games. However, while people may have been gazing at Barbaro and Garfield, many were fangirling over a beautiful woman sitting behind the actor in the stands. An X account with the handle @fowlerfiles took to the social media platform to share a picture of the match day writing, "ain't nobody looking at him. who is that gorgeous woman" The gorgeous woman in the picture is none other than actress Charithra Chandran , the younger Miss Sharma- Edwina Sharma from the popular Netflix series 'Bridgerton.'

The Traitors: It's a crime that Karan Johar didn't get more acting roles after Bombay Velvet; what a vamp he is in Prime Video's reality show
Leave the cameras running for long enough on a reality show, and people will reveal their true selves. Even when they're playing characters, or pretending to be somebody else. For instance, the standout performer of the recently concluded Prime Video series The Traitors isn't one of the contestants, but host Karan Johar. He saw an opportunity to unleash his inner queen and he took it. More on him and his outfits later. Karan wasn't competing for a prize pot of Rs 1 crore, but he certainly didn't phone it in like another popular reality show host, who, once upon a time, actually demanded a drink while he was on stage, and somebody magically presented one to him. Indian reality television has a clear hierarchy; The Traitors mostly featured the sort of people who'd consider Bigg Boss to be beneath them. Not that they're strictly above Bigg Boss themselves, considering how some of them behaved. Mukesh Chhabra, for instance, kept threatening people by saying 'haaye lagegi' if they vote him out. They did it anyway, literally on day two. Perhaps denying them an appointment at his Aram Nagar office would've been a better threat. But at least Mukesh survived longer than Raj Kundra, who got knocked out on day one. Someone had to be the first to go, but to go out like he did, which was basically by painting a target on his back, was just poor television. Also read – Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: How Karan Johar defied his own Dharma and delivered his most subversive film yet In a sense, The Traitors was bookended by incidents that can be described as fully antithetical to the idea of great reality TV. The show ended with perhaps the most lacklustre finale imaginable, all because of the laziness of two finalists. When Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha — the last surviving 'traitors' — were overheard discussing their plans by Uorfi Javed, it essentially robbed the show of its most important conceit. With no room left for guesswork, all that Uorfi had to do was play Harsh like a fiddle and walk away with the trophy. Having to share the title with Nikita Luther — a poker player who might want to consider an alternate career — is probably the closest she'll come to being in Javed Akhtar's shoes. The poor man remains eternally attached to Salim Khan despite having forged an immense solo career. Like the great writer — this is the only time anybody is going to compare them with each other, so pay attention — Uorfi has a brash attitude and an inherent need to be the centre of attention. They also share a take-it-or-leave-it honesty that has probably earned them several detractors over the years. When Uorfi offered to forgo her half of the Rs 70 lakh prize money to Nikita, you didn't doubt her. Not that she doesn't need the cash; who knows? But the look on her face revealed a certain vindication, as if she'd just proven to the world (and herself) that she's capable of achieving something. On the other hand, Nikita would be the first to admit that she didn't deserve to win. Having a hit-rate of zero would've been funny anyway, but having a hit-rate of zero despite being a professional poker player is… funnier. Perhaps she should've taken a leaf out of Ashish Vidyarthi's book; the veteran actor would walk up to people menacingly, look them directly in the eye, and ask, 'Are you a traitor?' He would then gauge their response based on nothing but a self-proclaimed ability to read people. He got knocked out in the first half of the show as well, becoming perhaps the first reality TV contestant in history to earn precious air time for afternoon siestas. When he wasn't napping, however, Ashish was definitely playing a character. His performance was so over-the-top that his peers voted him out the second they could; not because they really felt that he was a 'traitor', but because he was getting to them. But at least they considered him worthy of being called an actor, because the same courtesy wasn't extended to Sudhanshu Pandey, who survived till the very end with a look of sheer bamboozlement on his face. During one of the final 'circle of shaq' sessions, Purav straight-up forgot what Sudhanshu does for a living. What's worse; a middle-aged actor having to do a reality show, or a middle-aged actor being outsmarted by a bunch of Gen Z kids on that same reality show? One of those young contestants was Sufi Motiwala, who was instrumental in knocking Raftaar out. After doing so, Sufi retreated into a corner and began weeping, not because he was wrong, but because he thought that this would make him 'the villain of the season'. Sufi wishes. It's one thing to make cruelty your personality — it gets old real quick — but it's another thing to reveal how cruel you are despite your best efforts to present yourself as a green flag. The dishonour of being the show's real 'villain' belongs to Harsh, who not only made a terribly sexist remark at Uorfi, but then threw a hissy fit directed at her when he was evicted. He went out whining. Read more – Nadaaniyan: Ibrahim Ali Khan makes one of the worst debuts in years; is Karan Johar determined to set fire to his career before it even begins? What was she supposed to do? Let him (continue to) use her? There's a reason why Uorfi and Apoorva Mukhija — another standout contestant — didn't see eye to eye on the show. It's because deep down, they're very similar. And similar personality types often clash. It's true that Apoorva coasted on the strength of her memorable dissection of Raj Kundra's antics in the first episode, but she never stopped playing the game like it's meant to be played. Unlike Purav, who began crying because of all the traitorous stuff that the show was making him do, Apoorva and Elnaaz Norouzi saw the humour behind the sham. The Traitors nosedived the moment Elnaaz left, which just goes to show how heavily it was relying on her. Her decision to project herself as, essentially, a dumb blonde exposed the sexist and xenophobic mindsets of common Indians. Of course a pretty foreigner must be stupid, right? While everybody continued underestimating Elnaaz, she was running circles around them. She's the real winner of the show, along with Karan, of course. He seemed to be channeling Cruella De Vil every time he stepped into frame, wearing the most outlandish costumes and savouring every word that rolled off his tongue. 'Rise and shine, it's dhoka time,' he said at breakfast every morning, before pulling a framed photo of an eliminated contestant off the wall and letting it shatter on the floor. He never broke character, at least not on camera, and seemed to be entirely in his element even when things become visibly tiresome in the latter half. It's a crime that he didn't act after Bombay Velvet; there's an alternate career out there for him.

With Brad Pitt's 'F1' success, rising star Damson Idris enters Hollywood's fast lane
The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks read more Damson Idris was trying to tune out the noise, but that's a little difficult at a Formula One race. The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks. While Idris' profile has been rising in recent years, after six seasons starring in the FX series 'Snowfall,' there's nothing like being next to globally famous Formula One drivers and a Hollywood megastar to put things into perspective. He was pretty sure he was going to coast under the radar. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Then he started hearing not just his own name from fans in the crowd but 'Franklin Saint,' too, the name of his drug kingpin character on 'Snowfall.' 'It's funny, because I see myself as a young actor who nobody knows,' Idris, 33, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Revving up to the next level Anonymity may already be a thing of the past for Idris, though. In May, he made a splash at the Met Gala, arriving in a full racing suit (branded with 'F1's' fictional team name APXGP) and a Swarovski crystal-studded helmet that he and two ushers removed to reveal a second look underneath. The boldness and theatricality of the stunt made it one of the most talked about moments at an event where everyone is trying to stand out. And things are poised to rev up even more when 'F1' opens globally Friday. Speeding into theaters on a wave of great reviews and the promise of a 'Top Gun: Maverick'-style spectacle, filmmaker Joseph Kosinski is pretty sure Idris is going to start hearing people shout 'Joshua Pearce' at him too. That's the name of Idris' character, the hotshot rookie driver of the worst team on the circuit who's desperate to prove himself and hang on to one of the coveted seats. 'I'm very excited for people to see him own this character and go toe to toe with a giant movie star,' Kosinski said. 'I think he can do anything. He's just super talented, and I feel like I'm lucky to see him at the beginning of what's going to be a pretty stratospheric launch.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Idris tries to seek out projects that challenge him and characters who are as different as possible — from each other and, especially, from him. Joshua Pearce fit the bill in a moment when he was preparing to say goodbye to Franklin Saint. After he read the 'F1' script, the character even infiltrated his dreams. 'I said to myself, 'Man, no one's going to be able to play this part like I will.' I remember writing Joe (Kosinski) a letter and telling him that,' Idris said. 'When we finally jumped in the cars for the first time, I was hooked. I was like, 'Yep this movie's mine. It's no one else's and I can't wait to give my all to it.' And that's exactly what I did.' Giving it his all at 180 mph 'F1' wouldn't just require playing a part. Both he and Pitt had to learn how to drive the cars at speeds of up to 180 mph. It took months of training behind the wheel the supervision of stunt drivers Luciano Bacheta and Craig Dolby, as well as physical training to adapt to the G-forces they'd feel in the car. When it came time to film, which they did with special cameras attached to the cars, sometimes they were driving during breaks at real races with hundreds of thousands of spectators around. Every time you see Idris' or Pitt's face in the car, Kosinski said, they're really driving that car. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's so insane. It's actually quicker in real life and it looks really fast on the screen,' Idris said. 'In a split second, a decision could be really detrimental. But I couldn't imagine doing this movie any other way. If it was on green screen, you'd be able to tell.' There's a bit of art-meets-life symmetry wrapped up in 'F1,' in which an up-and-comer teams up with a veteran. In the film, it's a reluctant pairing of two alphas. The mentorship is fraught, the lessons are hard-earned and the competition is not exactly friendly. Unlike Joshua, Idris is more than willing to get advice from those around him, whether it's producers like Jerry Bruckheimer and Jeremy Kleiner, his director Kosinski, or his co-stars, from Pitt to Javier Bardem. 'I speak to them every day and I ask for advice,' he said. 'The main focus is on stories, playing characters that I can be proud of and range. That's everything I'm setting out to do in this career.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Acting was not always the goal for Idris. Like many kids in South London, he once dreamed of being a soccer player. Sure, the idea of being a renowned athlete held some appeal, but he also loved the sheer discipline it required. Then, at age 18, he realized he'd never be as great as Lionel Messi. 'When I see him one day, hopefully I'm blessed to meet him, I'm going to tell him that he's the reason why I quit football, because he was so good,' he said. 'Wonderfully, acting is a subjective industry, so I can at least cheat my way into working with Brad Pitt.' Cheating is, of course, a bit of cheeky hyperbole for an actor who studied drama at university and continued training at London's Identity School of Acting afterward. Since he made his stage debut in Ade Solanke's 'Pandora's Box' over 10 years ago, Idris has been hitting the pavement like the rest of his peers. And he's just getting started. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What's next for Damson Idris Idris recently wrapped filming the Tomi Adeyemi adaptation 'Children of Bone and Blood' in Cape Town, South Africa. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, Idris plays Prince Inan in the African fantasy that co-stars Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Idris' idol and real-life mentor Idris Elba. 'It's not just a namesake,' Idris said. 'I feel so blessed to be able to say that I'm like his little brother and I can call him and get advice.' Next up, Idris will prepare to portray Miles Davis in Bill Pohlad's 'Miles & Juliette,' about the jazz legend's romance with French singer Juliette Gréco. He's also founded a fine jewelry line, named Didris, inspired by his mother, and is getting into producing as well — his production company has a deal with FX Networks and wants to make opportunities for emerging talents. And like his character in 'F1,' Idris is learning to block out the noise. He knows that a film career is a long journey and there will be ups and downs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's a huge moment, but I'm fortunate to have so many people in my life that keep me grounded,' Idris said. 'I've soaked in information from people I admire who say the same thing during these higher moments: Pinch yourself, stay grounded, remember where you came from. 'That's exactly how I'm walking through this portal and into these next couple of years. I'm excited, I'm humbled, I am blessed and I can't wait to see what the future brings.'
