Yellowstone star, 54, marries weather presenter fiancée, 34, in Vatican wedding
Yellowstone star Josh Lucas, 54, has tied the knot with his 34-year-old fiancée Brianna Ruffalo in the Vatican. The actor, known for his roles in films including Sweet Home Alabama and Ford v Ferrari, and weather presenter Brianna Ruffalo announced on Friday that they had said their vows at the official residence of the Pope in Rome, Italy. Brianna, who works for ABC7 in Los Angeles, captioned an Instagram carousel from their special day: 'Mr and Mrs Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.' She shared a selection of snaps from their ceremony inside one of the chapels, which showed Josh planting a kiss on her inside the church and photos of them posing outside the famous St Peter's Basilica. 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful,' Josh wrote in the comments section as others rushed to share their congratulations, including Brianna's ABC7 colleagues. He also shared photos on his account as he thanked people for who helped 'make the dream of wedding in the Vatican come true'. 'Congratulations my friend. This is the good stuff,' commented White Lotus star Walton Goggins while Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Alison Janney shared her good wishes and House of Cards' Michael Kelly added: 'Perfect!!! Congratulations yall!!!' Brianna gave a hint at what it entails to get married in the holy location – something only open to Catholic couples – in a follow-up post on Saturday evening, where she shared a gorgeous portrait of her and her husband posing on a balcony outside together in their wedding finery, heads together. 'We are grateful to the many people who helped us get to this moment in the Catholic Church,' she began. 'I am so thankful for Father Winters at the parish I grew up in, and Sister Angelica at the archdiocese of Los Angeles – as well as several others within the archdiocese. 'We also absolutely couldn't have done this without our stellar wedding planning team who coordinated with the Vatican. Thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and easy.' Upon announcing their engagement last July, the American Psycho actor – who has recently delighted fans by portraying the young version of Kevin Costner's character John Dutton on smash-hit cowboy show Yellowstone – shared that he was 'grateful and thrilled' that Brianna had agreed to be his wife after he popped the question during a romantic Italian holiday. The happy couple, who had been together for almost two years, shared their news on Instagram, with a tearful Brianna laughing as she showed off her diamond ring while musicians played Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love. Josh captioned his post: 'For the last 2 years in every way and every day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole. 'I am so grateful and thrilled she said 'Yes'. I WAY love you Brianna. Thank you to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.' Meanwhile, Brianna said that accepting Josh's proposal was the 'easiest and best question' she'd ever answered. She wrote on her own page: 'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life… and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced – on every level. This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered. So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.' Josh was previously married to ex-wife Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, with whom he shares 13-year-old son Noah. The former couple were engaged six weeks after meeting in 2011, marrying in 2012 and then divorcing in 2014. More Trending He previously joked that Brianna is 'fully' on the side of Patrick Dempsey's character Andrew Hennings in his classic 2002 rom-com Sweet Home Alabama. The movie sees Reese Witherspoon's Melanie Smooter leave her fiancé Andrew for Josh's character Jake Perry at the end of the film. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'In [Brianna's] mind, she's like, 'But you're the guy that kind of ruined their relationship!' 'The funny thing is once she said that, all these people have come up to me and been like, 'Yeah, I was Team Patrick too.'' Got a story?

Christian Bale's entire family stuns in all-black for rare public appearance at D&G couture show
Christian Bale traded the shadows for the spotlight, and it wasn't for a film premiere. The notoriously private actor made a rare public appearance in Rome on July 14, stepping out with his wife Sibi Blazic and their children to support daughter Luka Bale, 20, as she walked in Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda fashion show. Bale, 51, cut a sharp figure in an all-black suit as he held hands with Blazic, his wife of 25 years. Their 11-year-old son, Rex Bale, also suited up for the occasion, trailing close behind the couple. The family later posed for photos alongside designer Domenico Dolce, making for a rare and elegant public portrait. Luka, who made her modeling debut at the same event in 2021, returned to the Alta Moda runway with poise and confidence, clearly earning her place among celebrity fashion royalty. Though both children have appeared in Bale's 2022 Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder, Luka and Rex have largely grown up out of the public eye. In fact, fans only learned the correct name of Bale's son in 2024 after his rep clarified that 'Joseph', long assumed by the internet, was incorrect. Rex was properly credited in the Marvel film, as was Luka, who was previously listed in Bale's 2016 racing drama Ford v Ferrari. Despite Bale's longtime aversion to fame, he's made it clear that family comes first. 'I'm not going to miss her growing up for anything, not even for Batman,' he once told British GQ about his daughter. For one night in Rome, the Bale family embraced the flashbulbs, and let Luka shine.

Brad Pitt Says Tom Cruise Pulled Out of FORD V FERRARI Because He 'Would Not Be Driving Much' — GeekTyrant
Brad Pitt is currently riding high with the box office success of F1 , but he recently opened up about a racing movie that almost happened over a decade ago, and how Tom Cruise may have walked away from it because he wouldn't be behind the wheel enough. In a recent interview with The National, Pitt revealed that he and Cruise were originally lined up to star in Ford v Ferrari with Joseph Kosinski ( Top Gun: Maverick, F1 ) set to direct. That version never happened, and the film eventually landed with director James Mangold, starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon. But according to Pitt, it wasn't just studio politics or budget battles that killed their version, it was about the cars. 'Tom and I, for a while there, were on Ford v Ferrari with Joe [to direct]. This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it – and made it a great movie. 'What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive, and [Tom] wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realized that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through. 'So I'm not sure how that's going to work [in a potential F1 sequel], but we'll give it a go. I'd love to.' So, I guess if Cruise isn't shifting gears at 150 mph, he's probably not signing on. Pitt is now at the center of the biggest racing movie of the year, with F1 pulling in $144 million worldwide in its opening and Apple already teasing sequel conversations. While he's open to returning, Pitt says the focus of a follow-up should stay on co-star Damson Idris' character, Joshua Pierce. 'I would want to drive again, selfishly speaking. F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce – Damson Idris's character – and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. 'Where does Sonny fit in? I'm not sure. Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I'm not sure beyond that, just yet.' Kosinski has floated a wild crossover sequel idea that could finally get Cruise and Pitt onscreen together, and behind the wheel, in the same movie. His pitch is to see Pitt's Sonny Hayes with Cruise's Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder . The director said: 'Well, right now, it'd be Cole Trickle, who was [Cruise's] Days of Thunder character, we find out that he and [Brad Pitt's] Sonny Hayes have a past. 'They were rivals at some point, maybe crossed paths. … I heard about this epic go-kart battle on Interview With a Vampire that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn't pay to see those two go head-to-head on the track?' For now, Pitt is just happy F1 crossed the finish line strong. 'We were all a bit white-knuckled to see if it was going to come through. We are delightfully surprised that everything that we had aimed for, and then some, came to fruition. 'Right now, I'm just pleased as punch that something like this can bring people together. That's the power of this kind of cinema.' If you haven't seen F1 yet, get out to the theater and watch it! The movie is awesome!

Brad Pitt Says Tom Cruise Pulled Out Of ‘Ford v Ferrari' After He Realized He 'Would Not Be Driving Much In The Movie'
On a different racetrack of events, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were initially attached to Ford v Ferrari, with the F1 star revealing what ultimately led the latter to back out of the project. Speaking to the United Arab Emirates-based publication The National News, Pitt reflected on the racing pic that never came to pass, which initially featured F1 and Top Gun: Maverick helmer Joseph Kosinski as director. The eventual 2019 biographical sports/action film featured Christian Bale as fearless racer Ken Miles, Matt Damon as automotive designer Carroll Shelby and James Mangold as filmmaker. More from Deadline Brad Pitt Discourages Young Actors From Taking On Franchises, Says His Generation "Didn't Sell Out" 'Crimson Tide' Sequel In The Works Says, Jerry Bruckheimer 'F1' Revs Higher With $146.3M Global Bow; 'Dragon' Also Rises; '28 Years Later' Tops $100M WW - International Box Office Monday Update 'Tom and I, for a while there, were on Ford v Ferrari with Joe [to direct],' the Interview with the Vampire actor said. 'This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it — and made it a great movie.' The two-time Oscar winner continued, 'What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive, and he wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realized that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through.' He concluded, 'So I'm not sure how that's going to work [in a potential F1 The Movie sequel], but we'll give it a go. I'd love to.' Previously, Kosinski shared in a sprawling GQ feature about the making of F1 that the reason his version of Ford v Ferrari never came to fruition was because of studio objections to the budget. A box office hit following its release June 27, the Apple Original Films blockbuster is already getting chatter about potential sequel treatment, with Kosinski telling GQ UK that it's 'up for the audience to decide' and 'not my decision.' Made in partnership with Formula 1 and its 10 teams, the drama stars Pitt as has-been racer Sonny Hayes, who aims to stage a comeback after his promising career was derailed by a track accident, finding that his biggest competition may be his young, irreverent upstart teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo also star. (Simone Ashley's role was cut down in the film.) Elsewhere in his interview with The National News, Pitt said he would be open to returning to the track in a sequel. 'I would want to drive again, selfishly speaking,' he said. 'F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce – Damson Idris's character – and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. Where does Sonny fit in? I'm not sure. Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I'm not sure beyond that, just yet. Right now, I'm just pleased as punch that something like this can bring people together. That's the power of this kind of cinema.' With that, Pitt added that should a followup come to pass, he'd be open to collaborating with Cruise, perhaps even a tie-in with the in-the-works Days of Thunder sequel, which the latter has said he is actively 'working on.' Speaking to what it would take to reteam, Pitt joked last month, 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and sh– like that, so when he does something again that's on the ground.'

Brad Pitt reveals why Tom Cruise passed on Ford v Ferrari
Brad Pitt revealed why he and Tom Cruise pulled out of starring in the acclaimed racing film Ford v Ferrari . The two Hollywood icons were originally set to star in the film about the legendary 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race. However, the project fell through over a simple yet very Tom Cruise-like reason: he wouldn't be driving enough on screen. In a recent interview with The National , Pitt explained that both he and Cruise were eager to take the wheel in the film. Cruise wanted to play Carroll Shelby, the visionary car designer. Brad Pitt aimed for the role of Ken Miles, the daring British driver. However, Cruise discovered that Shelby's character wouldn't be behind the wheel much. This didn't sit well with the star, known for performing his own high-risk stunts. 'Tom and I, for a while there, were on Ford v Ferrari with Joe [Kosinski] to direct. This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it — and made it a great movie,' Pitt said. 'What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive. He wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom Cruise realised that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through', according to The Hollywood Reporter The roles eventually went to Christian Bale as Ken Miles and Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby. They were cast under the direction of James Mangold. Brad Pitt's revelation gives a new perspective on what might have been a thrilling collaboration. Pitt, who recently starred in the Formula One drama F1: The Movie , also spoke about the possibility of a sequel. He admitted he would love to get back behind the wheel but acknowledged the story's focus would likely remain on the younger character Joshua Pierce, played by Damson Idris. 'Where does Sonny [Pitt's character] fit in? I'm not sure. Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that,' he said. Brad Pitt also expressed enthusiasm about potentially working with Cruise again on a follow-up to Cruise's 1990 NASCAR film Days of Thunder . 'I'd love to,' Pitt said, 'but I'm not going to hang my ass off aeroplanes and stuff like that'. This is a nod to Cruise's famously daring stunts. As Pitt put it, 'F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce and the rest of the team fighting for a championship.' But for now, fans can only imagine what might have been if Cruise had taken the wheel in Ford v Ferrari .
