Harrison Ford's chip eating steals Jessica Williams' thunder at SAG Awards 2025
Williams, who was introducing herself and sharing her acting journey, was mid-sentence when Ford, seated beside her, grabbed a chip and began to eat. Realizing he was in the frame, Ford slowly pulled the chip from his mouth, which caused laughter from the audience.
Williams, reacting to the humorous moment, joked, 'I told him to turn away. Don't look!' Ford complied by turning his chair away from the camera. However, he couldn't resist continuing to eat, and when Williams moved her head, Ford's back was once again in full view.
The 2025 SAG Awards featured many actors discussing their personal journeys in the entertainment industry, but this lighthearted moment between Ford and Williams quickly became a highlight. Williams, who was nominated as part of the ensemble cast of Shrinking on Apple TV+, continued with her speech after the funny interruption.
As she resumed, Williams shared anecdotes about her experiences, including preparing for auditions in a Starbucks bathroom and crying in a Del Taco bathroom afterward. She also recalled a casting director eating a salad during her monologue, adding humor to her storytelling. The playful exchange between Williams and Ford provided a moment of levity during an evening dedicated to celebrating achievements in film and television.

Jennifer Aniston to play toxic mom in a dramedy based on Jennette McCurdy's ‘I'm Glad My Mom Died'
Jennifer Aniston is taking on one of her boldest roles yet - playing a controlling, narcissistic mother in a new Apple TV+ dramedy inspired by Jennette McCurdy's explosive memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died. The series, officially greenlit for 10 episodes, is set to explore the harrowing and darkly funny complexities of mother-daughter dynamics in the spotlight. Aniston, who also executive produces the show via her Echo Films banner, will portray the overbearing mother of an 18-year-old actress caught in the pressure cooker of child stardom. The character is described as someone who thrives on being 'a starlet's mother,' mirroring the deeply personal themes McCurdy explored in her 2022 memoir, a raw and often heart-breaking account of her life as a young star under the thumb of a domineering parent. The series is written and co-run by McCurdy herself alongside Ari Katcher (Ramy), with production led by Apple Studios. Other executive producers include Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg (Merman), LuckyChap's Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara, and comedian Jerrod Carmichael. This marks a continued partnership between Aniston and Apple TV+, where she stars in the hit series The Morning Show, returning this September for its fourth season. It also follows the streamer's award-winning collaboration with Horgan on Bad Sisters. McCurdy's memoir spent over 80 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and has become a cultural flashpoint for conversations around trauma, fame, and healing. With Aniston at the centre, the adaptation is poised to bring its sharp wit and emotional honesty to a whole new audience.

Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton show dazzles with retro tailoring and Indian-inspired designs
Pharrell Williams's latest Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week was worth the wait, despite some initial frustrations over its delayed 9 pm start time. The rescheduling, initially met with collective sighs, was quickly forgiven when news broke that Beyoncé and Jay-Z would attend the event, alongside other high-profile figures such as Omar Sy, Steve McQueen, Spike Lee, and Victor Wembanyama. The spring-summer 2026 collection, Williams's most impressive yet since becoming the brand's creative director of menswear in 2023, featured retro tailoring with unique combinations, such as cargo pants paired with shrunken sweaters. The collection showcased the luxury brand's latest tactic of transforming everyday items into premium versions, including striped polo shirts and boxy work shirts, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Titled Paris to India, the collection drew inspiration from modern Indian sartorialism. The influence was visible in the ornate decorations on some of the trunks carried by models and a set designed by Bijoy Jain, featuring a giant hand-painted rendering of snakes and ladders, a traditional Indian game. The soundtrack included a Punjabi track co-produced by AR Rahman, adding another layer of Indian cultural influence. While the collaboration with Indian creatives offered an authentic cultural voice, some critics raised concerns over more reductive elements, such as embroidered exotic animals, which seemed to draw from past Louis Vuitton designs created for Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. However, the collection's playful references to modern-day India, like cricket-themed striped ties and camping backpacks, added a relevant and fresh twist. Despite some controversy surrounding Williams's work, including criticism over the symbolic placement of the Louis Vuitton logo on Doechii's cheek and the use of luxury materials, Louis Vuitton remains optimistic that Williams's star power and pop-culture-driven designs will continue to drive sales. (Louis Vuitton and LVMH are under pressure, with the group's fashion and leather goods divisions reporting a decline in revenue during the first quarter of 2025.)

Alfie Williams reflects on 28 Years Later debut and mentorship from Danny Boyle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
British teen actor Alfie Williams is stepping into the spotlight with 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic sequel to the cult classic 28 Days Later. Though only 14, Williams finds himself at the center of a massive genre film, playing Spike—a boy forced to grow up fast in a world still haunted by a deadly rage virus. Williams, who hails from near Newcastle, is featured prominently in promotional materials, including atop a towering 'bone temple' built for the film. The visual spectacle mirrors the intensity of his character's arc. 'Spike's a young boy living with his parents on Holy Island. On his 12th birthday, his dad starts training him to survive the mainland,' Williams explains. That coming-of-age survival tale drives the film's emotional core. Director Danny Boyle calls Williams 'hugely talented,' praising the young actor's growth on set. 'He benefitted from what was almost a guardianship from Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and later learned stillness and presence from Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes,' Boyle told Variety. Though unfamiliar with Boyle's work at first, Williams caught up quickly, diving into 28 Days Later and Trainspotting. His commitment landed him the lead role after four audition recalls. He kept his natural accent and underwent archery training to embody Spike's transformation. Filming was immersive, with minimal green screen. 'Everything was built—the bone temple was real. I had to climb it, fully harnessed,' Williams recalls. He also describes hiding from explosions and confronting eerily realistic infected on set. Beyond the screen, Williams finds joy in comedy films and draws inspiration from his actor father, Alfie Dobson. With a second installment, The Bone Temple, due in January, Williams' journey is just beginning. Like 28 Days Later did for Cillian Murphy, 28 Years Later could mark the start of a major career.
