'There were 16,000 applications, and only 12 of us were selected—including me and Naveen Polishetty . That little film played a big role in shaping our lives.'

Here's What Fans Think of SiR Claiming Drake Had His 2024 Toronto Show Canceled
Top Dawg Entertainment singer SiR had his 2024 tour stop in Toronto canceled, and he made his return north of the border for a show on Wednesday (June 4). During his performance, SiR placed the blame for his original cancellation on Drake. In a clip from the performance, SiR says that he was 'caught in the middle of a beef I ain't have s–t to do with,' referencing the ongoing feud between the Toronto rapper and Kendrick Lamar. However, SiR quickly walked back the claims and said it was the venue — which is co-owned by Drizzy — that cancelled his show.

Ron Howard Reveals How He Really Felt About His 'Happy Days' Co-Star Henry Winkler
Ron Howard is revealing if it was a happy day when he met his co-star Henry Winkler. In the 1970s, Howard and Winkler starred in the ABC sitcom 'Happy Days' as Ritchie Cunningham and Fonzie — 'The Fonz' to fans. Now, more than half a century since the show first aired, Howard is reflecting on their first meeting. In an interview posted on Thursday, Howard told People that the two actors 'clicked.' Although it began strictly on a 'professional level' at first, Howard said he 'looked up to' his co-star. 'Henry's a few years older than I am. Yale-educated, and he looked at acting in a way that was — it wasn't Hollywood,' he said. 'It was a little more intellectual. It was theater-based, and that was new to me. But more than anything, we just got along beautifully and worked well together.' Howard also stated that Winkler stood out from others in the industry at the time. The camaraderie between the two may not have initially started jukebox magic, but it grew to a lasting creative partnership and friendship. In a May 22 interview with the outlet, Howard also credited Winkler with helping launch his directing career. While working on their sitcom, Howard was honing his craft — and after he left the series, opportunity knocked in the form of the 1982 film 'Night Shift.' 'Henry was always so supportive of that. When Henry said yes to Night Shift, that's what got that movie greenlit,' Howard reminisced. 'He played a hand in helping my dream ultimately come true, which was to be a studio, Hollywood, feature director.'
