Sam Rockwell Backed Out of 'G.I. Jane' After Drunken Night Out with Star Demi Moore When She 'Shaved Our Heads'

Sam Rockwell was cast in the 1997 action film G.I. Jane, but ultimately dropped out before filming began Rockwell said in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the training to portray a Navy SEAL was so intense he ultimately decided against the part While he didn't stay for filming, he did manage to have a memorable night with the film's star, Demi MooreSam Rockwell was nearly in the 1997 action film G.I. Jane — and while he didn't stay for filming, he did manage to have a memorable night with the film's star, Demi Moore. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rockwell, 56, said part of his reasoning for leaving the film was the brutal training required. "Well, I realized that when you play a Navy SEAL in BUD/S training, you have to be in the water a lot. So I probably should have read the script more thoroughly," he said. "I was in the water a little more than I wanted to be, and I was really, really skinny at the time, and I didn't have a lot of body fat on me, and I was getting early hyperthermia." Rockwell added: "I did the boot camp, and then I split." But despite the fact that he left before filming began, he did get to meet the film's star, Moore. "Demi Moore had just done Striptease, the movie," he said. "And she got a strip joint, and she got all these strippers and the Navy SEALs and the actors, and got us drunk on tequila — and the strippers and Demi Moore shaved our heads and we got drunk with Navy SEALs and got lap dances."

Jordan McNeil in the 1997 film, famously shaving her head before filming began. Rockwell, meanwhile, recently appeared on season 3 of The White Lotus as an old friend of Walton Goggins' mysterious, eccentric character Rick. His longtime partner Leslie Bibb — who starred in the show — has said he "got cast at the last minute" for the role, which included a very memorable monologue. "I read all eight [episodes] and I remember when I got to this monologue and this scene and I remember thinking, 'I've never seen anything like this on television,' and I felt like it's what Mike [White] was really trying to talk about with this show ... He comes in and he's like, 'Here's my truth' and he's unapologetic," Bibb said in a March appearance on CBS Mornings. Read the original article on People

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NASDAQ:BUD): A Good Buy with Valuations at 10-Year Lows

We came across a bullish thesis on Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NASDAQ:BUD) on ValueInvestorsClub by investor8888. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on BUD. The company's shares were trading at $45.44 when this thesis was published, vs. the closing price of $60.71 on Apr 10. Photo by Wil Stewart on Unsplash BUD produces, distributes, exports, markets, and sells beer and beverages globally. It offers a portfolio of approximately 500 beer brands, which primarily include Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois; Beck's, Hoegaarden, Leffe, and many more. The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) is down 4.5% in the last six months due to several developments. For example, regulations on warnings for alcohol, ban on dyes/ingredients and new packaging guidelines have a direct bearing on companies like BUD. To add to it, macroeconomic headwinds like higher rates, stronger USD and potential tariffs have shifted investors away from consumer staple companies. This has created a better risk/reward proposition in this industry, with companies like BUD at a very attractive valuation. The P/E for US staples is at 18.55, which is close to its 10-year low on an absolute basis. It also offers a better valuation compared to the S&P 500 which has a P/E of ~22.75x. Even its EV/EBITDA of 9x is below its historical level of 11.7x. One of BUD's key transformations has been its app-based offering called BEES. BEES managed a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of $48 billion on an annualized basis making it one of the largest ecommerce platforms. In a short time, BEES has managed to challenge players like DoorDash which has a GMV of $77 billion and a market cap of $72 billion. This implies that BEES could add ~50 billion in value to BUD. This represents 20% of its current market capitalization. BUD should manage a higher topline growth with EBITDA reaching $25.7 billion by 2026 as operating leverage improves. Applying a 10x EBITDA multiple, the fair value of BUD's share price should be $81. Factoring in the value of BEES, the value should rise to $101 per share. From its current price, this is an upside of 66%. While we acknowledge the potential of BUD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than BUD but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

Budapest Airport's summer schedule includes 13.8m seats, 200 routes

Budapest Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, is set to achieve unprecedented growth in its summer 2025 schedule, offering the largest-ever seat and flight schedule in its history. With robust expansion, the Hungarian gateway will connect passengers to more destinations than ever before, reinforcing its status as a key European airport. The airport's record-breaking summer schedule will see Budapest offer 13.8 million seats, a 9.8% increase vs summer 2024, connecting 136 cities with over 71,000 flights. Network growth and new routes For summer 2025, Budapest Airport will introduce 11 new routes, welcoming three new airlines: • SAS Scandinavian Airlines: four times weekly flights to Copenhagen (new airline) • Jazeera Airways: twice-weekly flights to Kuwait City, Kuwait (new airline) • SCAT: twice-weekly flights to Shymkent, Kazakhstan (new airline) • Wizz Air: twice-weekly flights to Girona, Spain, Venice, Wroclaw, and Bilbao, plus three times weekly flights to Gdansk and Vilnius. • Ryanair: twice-weekly flights to Katowice and Castellon, Spain Focusing on a diversified network Looking at a regional-level, BUD will have the most scheduled seats with the Western European region, growing by 960,000 seats vs summer 2024 to over 11 million seats. In addition, capacity to/from the Middle-East will exceed 1 million seats, mainly thanks to enhanced capacity between Israel and Hungary Existing airlines are also ramping up their operations from Hungary's capital city. Lufthansa is adding over 70,000 seats, introducing a fifth daily flight to Frankfurt and increasing to five daily flights to Munich on four out of seven days. Eurowings will operate double daily flights in the summer peak to Stuttgart, adding in total over 16,000 extra seats. Aer Lingus and Aegean Airlines will each increase their summer frequencies to five weekly flights each, enhancing onward connectivity to the US and Greek islands, respectively. KLM is boosting capacity with a fifth daily flight on each day to Amsterdam, providing 45,000 extra seats compared to summer 2024. Additionally, capacity to Israel will increase by 220,000 seats, reaching a total of 590,000. As a result, in summer 2025 BUD will have the most seats to/from Israel among airports in the CEE region. Meanwhile, traffic between Hungary and China is set to grow further, with a total of 550,000 seats available in 2025, representing an additional 100,000 seats compared to 2024. As Budapest now ranks among the Top 10 Continental European destinations, the continuous rise in demand for air travel between the two nations reflects strong economic ties and increased tourism interest. As easyJet operates Paris and Lyon flights in the summer period, next to flight from Geneva, Basel and London-Gatwick, the total seat capacity reaches over 310,000 seats, a 15% increase from summer 2024. Already looking ahead to winter 25/26, easyJet has announced year-round, twice-weekly flights to Bordeaux and Nantes as the airline continues to expand its route network from Budapest. With these two new routes, easyJet will increase its number of routes from Budapest from three in 2023 to seven in 2025. In addition, will operate twice weekly seasonal routes to Newcastle and East-Midlands. As a result of the expansion, by end of 2025 will operate six routes. 'This record-breaking schedule demonstrates our commitment to strengthening Budapest Airport's connectivity, diversify our airline portfolio and enhancing travel options for our passengers,' said Máté Ritter, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport. 'With a strong mix of new routes, increased frequencies, and strategic market developments, the summer marks another step forward in commitment to diversify our network.'
