Fans React to Pedro Pascal Touching Willem Dafoe's Wife in 2024 Clip
has faced mixed reactions from fans after a viral clip resurfaced showing him touching Willem Dafoe's wife, Giada Colagrande, during a 2024 interaction. The brief moment between the Fantastic Four star and the couple has sparked online debate, with fans questioning Pascal's intentions behind the seemingly innocent gesture. Fans react to Pedro Pascal touching Willem Dafoe's wife clip resurfacing Pedro Pascal sparked mixed reactions online after a video clip resurfaced showing him touching Willem Dafoe's wife, Giada Colagrande, during Dafoe's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in January 2024. The footage shows Pascal placing his hand on Colagrande's chin and stroking it while standing directly in front of Dafoe for a few seconds. In the cut-out clip of the video, some viewers noted that Dafoe's expression might have appeared to change after Pascal's interaction with Colagrande. Some fans have commented that they believe Pascal is facing unfair scrutiny, as the cut-out clip does not provide any context for Pascal's interaction with Colagrande. Netizens also claim that although several pictures exist of Pascal hugging Dafoe seconds later, these images haven't circulated as widely as the controversial moment. One commenter posted on X (formerly Twitter) that some social media users are unable to 'fathom platonic intimacy' between a male and a female. Another wrote, 'Clips shared with no back story or out of context become viral and can change public perception of someone and destroy people's lives.' Online discussions about Pascal's physical interaction with colleagues started after he appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con with Fantastic Four star Vanessa Kirby. In a moment of 'anxiety,' Pascal reached out for Kirby's hand. In response, Kirby took his hand and squeezed it assuringly. While the tender moment showed the pair's close friendship, it also received criticism online. Later, Kirby addressed the incident in a Vanity Fair interview. She explained, 'What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic.' She added, 'He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.'

Zero review – Senegalese time-bomb thriller is a blast
Set in Senegal's capital Dakar, this action thriller is so strikingly shot, so propulsively edited and so confident in its tonal shifts that by the end viewers are likely to feel enervated and stunned, but in a good way. It has one of those literal ticking-time-bomb narratives; a corny device to be sure, but one that Congolese writer-director Jean Luc Herbulot, with assistance from main actor and co-writer Hus Miller, manipulates in fresh and interesting ways. Certainly it will inspire some viewers to take a plunge into Herbulot's back catalogue, which includes festival-anointed gangster-horror flick Saloum, another adept genre mash-up set in Senegal. The conceit here is that Miller's white, American-accented unnamed protagonist, called simply #1 in freeze-framed titles, wakes up on a Dakar bus with a sophisticated bomb strapped to his chest that is set to go off in 10 hours' time. The bomb is connected to a countdown-displaying mobile phone, and a young woman sitting nearby explains to him that he needs to put a Bluetooth earpiece in his ear and answer when he hears the phone ring. When it does, a croaky American-accented voice (Willem Dafoe, no less!) explains that #1 has a number of chores to perform that day before the bomb goes off. Soon he's hooked up with another bomb-bedecked American called #2 (Cam McHarg) and the two of them are sent on missions around the city. These tasks include finding assorted folks and giving them objects that in at least one case result in the recipient being blown up by another mini-bomb. The explosions are understandably interpreted as terrorist acts, breathlessly reported on the local news that acts as a sort of chorus throughout (another corny device), so #1 and #2 have to evade capture by both legitimate authorities and angry crowds. There are lighter moments along the way, like a bit where the two bomb-bearing protagonists are compelled to sniff metres of cocaine to appease a drug lord; they get so high that the film erupts into montage, backed by some spicy African hip-hop, resulting in an interlude that doesn't further the plot much and seems to exist primarily to appeal to a young male demographic. But the tone shifts towards something more serious and considered later on when we meet the duo's final assignation, Daniel (Gary Dourdan), who pulls the strands together with a polemical monologue set against another montage, this time showing filmed portraits of Dakar residents looking straight at the camera with blank expressions that might be accusatory or at least questioning, representing perhaps all the regular folk who suffer when nations and parties jostle in the streets over politics and control. Elsewhere, Herbulot and the camera department deploy drones to create all kinds of skewwhiff long-distance views of the action, while creative use of camera lenses create a sense of disorientation. It's all in service of depicting a modern African city full of relentless colour, texture and movement, an unceasing river of human traffic that weaves through dense residential areas, huge piles of debris, and areas of commerce – before reaching the Atlantic Ocean on the city's edge. This last setting is where the dark climax takes place, a finale that doesn't entirely pull off the tragic ending it's aiming for, but one that stays true to the film's intense energy. Zero is in UK cinemas from 25 July and on digital platforms from 11 August.

Horoscope for Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025
LEO season has arrived, but the usual playful and vibrant energy that this time of the year brings might be absent today due to some dreary cosmic weather. However, since LEO is a sign that encourages us to shine our inner light outward, we may be able to lighten the vibe by doing what we can to spread joy, laughter and positivity. As the Mercury retrograde continues, we should also make room to slow down and pause, maybe even take a cat nap. If possible, we should leave the more challenging work and decision-making for another day. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It could take a lot of work not to get sucked into a bad mood, but choosing happiness is always an option. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The comfort of home and the support of your family may be the keys to keeping you calm and grounded. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Just because you get a 'no' doesn't mean that there isn't a 'yes' out there. Your resourcefulness can help you find it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don't be hard on yourself. Take time to appreciate how special you are. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Don't feel pressured to do more than you can. Giving yourself the room that you need to breathe will reignite your flame instead of putting it out. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If you're feeling like you need to sequester yourself away from everyone for a little while, follow your instincts. You need a break. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your affinity for teamwork and finding win-win solutions will help you succeed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Beware of taking on more than you can realistically achieve today. It may be better to focus on just one thing at a time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You've probably been so busy as of late that you haven't had much time for fun. Try to make time today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. If someone wants to help you, let them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Delegating tasks to others may be more efficient than you doing everything yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You may not be in the mood to do much, but putting in the work now will give you space to play later. FOR TODAY'S BIRTHDAY You have a bright and sunny personality that makes it hard for others to resist. You can disarm the steeliest person with your charm and fun-loving attitude. But when it comes to taking care of serious business, you're determined, purposeful and poised. As a daring and confident person, you're never afraid of taking risks or having the spotlight on you. In fact, you relish in the attention and admiration you get from others. You are a natural star. This year, it may be necessary to take time away from the bright lights so that you can reignite the spark within. BIRTHDATE OF: Selena Gomez, actress/singer; Willem Dafoe, actor; Danny Glover, actor/producer.
