Rupert Friend missed daughter's birth due to Jurassic World Rebirth filming
Rupert Friend has revealed he accidentally missed the birth of his baby daughter while filming Jurassic World Rebirth. During an appearance on the Today show on Monday, the English actor, 43, shared that he had recently welcomed a little girl with his wife, athlete-actress Aimee Mullins, 49. However, Rupert confessed he didn't actually witness the birth because he had just returned to London to film the dinosaur movie Jurassic World Rebirth after a trip to New York to see Aimee. 'I'm hoisted up on a wire, a hundred feet in the air, doing a stunt, and the crew start saying, 'Get him down, get him down,'' he recalled, before describing how he was handed a phone. 'I'm like, 'Honey, I'm a little busy.'' Rupert then revealed Aimee told him her waters had broken and she was in labour. 'Then it was a mad dash to get on the last seat on the last plane out of England to get all the way back to the States to be there for the birth, which I very sadly missed,' the Homeland actor continued. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Rupert, who plays Martin Krebs in the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel, was able to watch his daughter's birth via video call at the airport. '(I) nearly missed the flight and there was that fateful thing where it was like, 'Do I stay on FaceTime 'cause I need to see this? Or do I get the plane because I need to get there?'' Rupert recounted. 'And then, that wonderful – I'll never forget it – sound came through the airport and they said, 'Ding-dong, your flight is delayed for 20 minutes,' and that's when they said, 'You have a baby girl.' It was amazing.' While Rupert didn't share his daughter's name, he joked that she's 'always gonna be a dino baby'. Jurassic World: Rebirth, also starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, hits theatres on 2 July. Rupert and Aimee tied the knot in 2016 after meeting three years previously. While Aimee acts – having starred in Stranger Things as Eleven's mother – she first garnered fame as an athlete. She was the first female amputee ever to compete in the The National Collegiate Athletic Association, and she took part in the 1996 Paralympics as a sprinter. More Trending Aimee was born with fibular hemimelia – missing fibula bones – and as a result, both her legs were amputated below the knee when she was one year old. Despite being told she would never walk again, Aimee learnt to walk using prosthetic legs by the age of two, before taking up sports. Previously reflecting on their wedding, Rupert revealed on Live With Kelly in 2017 that they eloped with just two witnesses. 'We got married in a compost shed at a beautiful farm in the rain — it was the perfect wedding — and then we went and played pool in Manhattan,' Friend said. Got a story?

Aimee Lou Wood sent 'vile threats of violence' after sharing anti-war speech
The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Woods reveals she was on the receiving end of violent death threats after posting a famous anti-war speech by British politician Tony Benn British actress Aimee Lou Wood has claimed she was on the receiving end of violent threats after posting an anti-war speech to her Instagram account. In the wake of the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on June 15, The White Lotus star came to Instagram to share a clip of British politician Tony Benn's anti-war speech. In 1998, the former member of the Labour party appealed to MPs as they debated whether the UK should carry out a bombing raid on Iraq in conjunction with the US. He emphasised how innocents, including children, are the main casualties of war. It includes the famous and harrowing line: 'Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?' However, Aimee later posted an Instagram story claiming that she had received threatening messages on the back of her post. Over a selfie, the 31-year-old wrote: "Love getting vile threats of violence and death just for saying I'm against war and innocent people dying... The world is crazy.' Reacting to the post on Reddit, fans were quick to share their support and commend Aimee for making a statement. One wrote: 'F them, I'm so glad Aimee is speaking up.' 'Apparently not wanting another war and innocent people dying is not in fashion this year,' a second joked. Another simply added: 'She's right, the world is stupid.'

Others also expressed dismay and concern over the political landscape – as well as what it might mean for the future. One commenter said: 'Shows how small minded the world is.' They added: 'How people can be accepting of all the terrible fucking shit our 'world leaders' do. I am petrified of what life my children are going to have.' Another pointed out that Aimee has been vocal in her support of other causes, notably Palestine: 'Aimee has been pretty vocal about her support for Palestine since October… attacks. I admired her back in the day for her postings when NO one was doing anything.' On the back of the October 7 attacks, the actress also took to Instagram, frequently reposting fundraisers and appeals for the Gaza humanitarian crisis and statistics on the rise in Islamophobic hate crimes in London. She told The Cut that she had a personal tie to the cause, as her grandfather had been 'a soldier in Palestine'. However, her outspoken support led to intense backlash online. As reported by The Cut, she was warned by police that the threats she was facing could have real consequences and that she should be cautious.
