Will Sharpe reveals intense scene in Netflix hit Too Much left him bruised
The 38-year-old British actor, known for The White Lotus, injured himself by repeatedly slapping his face during a breakdown scene with co-star Megan Stalter.
Lena Dunham, who co-wrote and directed Too Much with her husband Luis Felber, instructed the actors to improvise the scene.
Dunham cast Sharpe for his perceived 'curiosity and depth', believing he embodied the qualities desired for his character, Felix.
The series, loosely inspired by Dunham and Felber's relationship, explores themes of adulthood and the challenges of a tumultuous relationship.

Oasis reassures cheating fans they are 'safe' after Coldplay kiss-cam saga
Oasis fans with wandering eyes have been told not to worry about being caught out for cheating. Earlier this month Liam Gallagher, 52, and older brother Noel Gallagher, 58, finally reunited for their long-awaited reunion tour. Kicking off in Cardiff on July 5, that gig was the siblings' first since their split in 2009. While their tour has been one of the most-talked about in recent weeks, some of the spotlight was redirected at fellow British band Coldplay last week when a kiss-cam exposed a cheating couple. On July 16, during a concert near Boston, Massachusetts in the United States, a couple were shown on the big screen while embracing. However, their reaction raised eyebrows after the pair quickly dropped and ducked out of view, with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipping: 'Ooh, look at these two. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy!' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It turns out his suspicions were correct, with internet sleuths soon uncovering the pair as Astronomer chief executive Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot – who are both married, but not to each other. A few days on Liam has weighed in and said his fans shouldn't be concerned about finding themselves in a similar situation at one of his band's gigs. During Sunday night's show at Manchester's Heaton Park, he asked the audience: 'Do we have any lovebirds in the house?'.

He went on to share: 'Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay, snidey f***ing camera s***. It doesn't matter to us who you're f***ing mingling with, or tingling with or fingering with. None of our f***ing business.' Throughout their Music of the Spheres global tour Coldplay have done a segment each show where they film audience members and Chris sings an impromptu song to them. However, following the unfortunate kiss-cam incident last week that exposed the affair, he warned fans at the band's show in Madison, Wisconsin that they might be filmed. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen,' he explained. Flashing a grin, he added: 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' After the footage of the kiss-cam went viral, Chris was filmed saying he hoped they 'hadn't done something bad'. More Trending On Saturday Byron, who had served as CEO since 2023, tendered his resignation from Astronomer. Cabot is believed to have joined the company as Chief People Officer nine months ago. Neither have spoken publicly about their 'affair' being exposed. Got a story?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE was the Apple of dad Steve Jobs' eye, so when the tech billionaire's youngest daughter Eve marries her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend, there will be no expense spared. Insiders said her mother Laurene — wife of the iPhone pioneer, who passed away aged 56 in 2011 — has gone all out for the wedding, with Sir Elton John booked to perform. 9 Steve Jobs' youngest daughter Eve will marry her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend Credit: Getty 9 Eve started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022 Credit: Instagram 9 Steve Jobs with his children Eve, Reed, Erin, and wife Laurene Powell Kim and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly on the guestlist and an entire village in Oxfordshire will go on lockdown from tomorrow. A source said: 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale on steroids. 'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI.' read more on eve jobs JOBS A GOOD'UN Inside glam world of Apple genius Steve Jobs' model daughter Eve They added: 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' Eve, 27, and Harry, 26, who we revealed got engaged last September, are understood to be planning a decadent, four-day celebration starting tomorrow. They are set to be joined by equestrian Jessica Springsteen — daughter of megastar singer Bruce — Apple designer Jony Ive, and Sofia Abramovich, whose dad Roman used to own Chelsea Football Club. It is understood guests will fly in on their private jets to Oxford airport this week, with helicopters on standby to transport them directly onto the grounds of the house where the couple will marry. Steve Jobs introduces the original iPhone in 2007 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation,' our insider said. 'The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday. 'Kamala, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Bill Gates' daughters, Phoebe and Jennifer, are all on the VIP guest list. 'Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys has been invited, too. It's an eclectic mix of stars and will be like a 'who's who' of the rich and famous. 'There are a lot of important American political figures going to be there. No doubt they'll all be Googling each other.' Locals revealed that, over the weekend, enormous trucks had started to slowly chug through the sleepy villages surrounding the wedding's top-secret location, before being parked up close to the estate. As well as carrying supplies for the enormous wedding bash — claimed to carry a price tag close to £50million — equipment for star act Elton is understood to be on site. 'Elton is booked to perform for an hour,' our mole added. 'He will play a selection of his songs, including some of Eve and Harry's favourites. 9 Harry made his Team GB debut at Tokyo in 2020 and won the team jumping gold himself at the Paris Olympic games last year Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Steve was keen for his children to carve out their own paths and success Credit: Rex 'A concert from Elton doesn't come cheap. Apparently they've forked out over £1million to have him perform. " It's going to be incredibly special.' Eve and Laurene didn't plan the behemoth nuptials alone, with events planner to the stars Stanlee Gatti understood to have been drafted in. He was the brains behind American Ivy Getty's extravagant 2021 wedding to Tobias Engel — where Earth, Wind & Fire performed — and has helped Elton put together his famous Oscars' after-parties over the years. 'Every final detail of the big day has been signed off by Eve and Harry, but this is Stanlee's baby,' our source explained. 'It's the meeting of two soulmates from across the Atlantic and that will be reflected in the wedding, too. 'The vibe is upper class English luxury with a cool, modern American vibe. It's going to be like nothing anyone at the wedding has experienced before.' Eve, the youngest of Apple founder Steve's four children, started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022. After studying science, technology and society at Stanford University in California, Eve moved into fashion and made her modelling debut in 2021 at Paris Fashion Week, walking for fashion house Coperni alongside stars including Gigi Hadid. 'FUNNY FIRECRACKER' She was later named by society bible Tatler as one of their 'new generation of It Girls' after signing to DNA Model Management. Eve has also appeared as a model in Vogue and Vanity Fair, and worked with big brands including Louis Vuitton. Harry, the son of London 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, was raised in Hampshire and followed his father into a career in equestrian sport. He made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and also won the team jumping gold at the Paris Games last year — with Eve spotted cheering him on in the stands at the Chateau de Versailles. The pair went public with their romance that day, with Harry later popping the question. Insiders said the pair bonded over their love of horses, with Eve an accomplished rider in her own right. She has competed internationally at Grand Prix level and won a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru while a student at university. That same year, she was ranked fifth out of the world's best 1,000 riders under the age of 25 by Horse Sports. Eve and Harry have rarely spoken about one another publicly, but after picking up his gold in Paris last year, Harry told Tatler he was keen to spend time with the heiress to take in his achievements. When quizzed on what his plans involved, he revealed: 'Go over to the States. Spend some time with my girlfriend, Eve. 'We're just going to sit and enjoy and reflect on it.' 9 Kim and Khloe Kardashian are expected to attend the nuptials Credit: Splash 9 Eve and her mother Laurene at the 2023 TIME100 Gala Credit: Getty Last month, Eve flew out to Capri in Italy for a lavish hen party alongside pals including Phoebe Gates and Olympian Eileen Gu. She shared photographs from the getaway with Harry's sister Scarlett, as well as Harry's mum Tara. The group stayed in a luxury villa during their break as well as sailing on a yacht. Harry's stag party has been far more under the radar, with the showjumper hard at work in the run-up to the wedding after he competed at the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Monaco earlier this month. Eve's siblings — her brother Reed, sister Erin and half-sister Lisa — are also understood to be attending, along with Harry's close and extended family. Throughout last night, the preparations for the big day continued, with guests expected to start touching down from tomorrow. Laurene, who founded The Emerson Collective, which invests in entrepreneurs, is believed to be overseeing events for their youngest daughter. The pair previously discussed not passing his enormous wealth down to the children, with Steve keen for them to carve out their own paths and success. Laurene told The Times in 2020: 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth buildings, and my children know that. "Steve wasn't interested in that. This might be the UK's most expensive society wedding, but there will be some incredible personal touches Wedding insider 'If I live long enough, it ends with me.' Prior to his passing, Steve spoke of his hopes for Eve in his authorised biography, calling her 'funny firecracker.' Our insider added: 'Toasts will be raised and those who are no longer with Eve and Harry will be celebrated. 'This might be the UK's most expensive society wedding, but there will be some incredible personal touches. 'The family's dedication to philanthropy will also come into play. 'It's the biggest day of Harry and Eve's lives — and they are going to make sure all of their guests go home with some amazing memories.' 9 Elton John has reportedly been paid over £1million to perform Credit: Getty 9 Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys is also on the guest list Credit: Getty Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Nicole Scherzinger: New music series shows Liam Payne ‘in his element'
Payne, who was best known for being one of the five former members of One Direction, died aged 31 in October 2024 when he fell from a third floor balcony at a hotel in Argentina. Prior to his death, he filmed as a guest judge on the Netflix competition series alongside Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, host AJ McClean, and mentor Scherzinger. Speaking on The View, American actress and singer, Scherzinger, 47, said her favourite memory of the late singer was his 'heart'. Liam Payne attending the Fashion Awards 2022 held at the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Gore, London (Ian West/PA) She said: 'When you watch the show, you'll see little glimpses of him after he's talking, or things where you just catch him off guard and it's when he smiles. 'He smiles with his eyes. It's like he's giving you a hug, like he's embracing you and holding you. 'Liam just had such a beautiful, beautiful heart. And I'm so happy that people get to remember him and see him in his light and in his element, giving back because he lived it.' The series has been described as a 'music experiment' where 50 singers must form a band without seeing or meeting one another. Nicole Scherzinger attending the WhatsOnStage Awards at the London Palladium (Ian West/PA) Payne was a former member of the pop group, One Direction, which was formed on The X Factor in 2010 with the help of Scherzinger who was a mentor on the series. The boy band, which consisted of Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, became one of the biggest pop groups in the world, with five albums and four world tours, until they went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016. Payne went on to launch his solo career and released his debut solo album LP1 in December 2019. The album included the songs Polaroid with Lennon Stella and Jonas Blue; Strip That Down featuring Quavo; as well as the track For You, with Rita Ora.
