Gardening, Critiques, and Age-Defiance: The Week of Celebrity Shenanigans
Dominic West jokes about his newfound love for gardening, hinting that it’s a middle-aged substitute for his faded libido. Brian Cox criticises Jake Gyllenhaal’s Broadway performance, Roger Daltrey defends his role in Zak Starkey’s Who drama, and Jane Seymour insists she can still portray women much younger than herself. A week full of playful quirks and celebrity shenanigans!
Ah, the woes of middle age! Dominic West, the charming star of The Crown, has found solace in gardening, and he’s not shy about sharing his cheeky theory. “I suppose you get to a certain age,” he mischievously mused. “I never even looked at a tree until I was about 50. Then suddenly, I think as your libido dissipates, you realise there are trees and plants around!” Quite the transition from his previous antics, eh?
West’s cheeky comments about his libido may spark some eyebrows, especially since he’s married to Irish aristocrat Catherine FitzGerald. The pair have weathered a bit of a storm after some scandalous photos featuring him and co-star Lily James surfaced back in 2020. Remember when he was caught kissing her neck in Rome? Good times! He did call the backlash an “absurd situation,” but let’s leave the drama behind, shall we? Now, it’s all about those roses and dahlias.
Meanwhile, in more theatrical news, Brian Cox just can’t help himself from throwing shade – and this time, it’s directed at Jake Gyllenhaal. In a recent interview, the veteran actor dismissively critiqued Jake’s Othello performance on Broadway, saying it was “not particularly wonderful.” Ouch! It’s clear Cox enjoys keeping his opinionated reputation intact by publicly critiquing others, having previously taken jabs at Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Strong. It’s almost like he’s got a full-time job at a critique station!
But wait, there’s more drama in rock ‘n’ roll! The Who has had a bit of a kerfuffle with drummer Zak Starkey. He was let go and then suddenly brought back after nearly three decades in the band. Frontman Roger Daltrey has been vocal about how he feels unfairly portrayed in this messy situation, claiming, “All I want to say is, it’s fake news! I’m not guilty!” Sounds like the rock star needs a deep breath and perhaps a good cuppa!
Now, let’s chat about the eternally youthful Jane Seymour, who’s decided she can still take on roles that are nearly 25 years younger than her actual age of 74. “If I can keep myself well I can definitely play 50,” she confidently proclaims. Though she does set the boundary at 50 – a wise choice for someone who was almost cast as the youthful Queen Eleanor in 2021’s Glow and Darkness. Ironically, she was told she could still pass for 25, but they later cast a more age-appropriate actress for the flashback scenes. Jane, darling, that’s just playing it smart!
From gardening revelations to sharp critiques and age-defying aspirations, it’s safe to say this week in entertainment is chock-full of eyebrow-raising moments. And who doesn’t love a sprinkle of drama with their morning coffee?
In this week’s roundup of celebrity antics, we’ve got Dominic West embracing gardening, Brian Cox throwing shade at Jake Gyllenhaal, Roger Daltrey defending his reputation within The Who, and Jane Seymour confidently strutting her youthful energy. It’s just another whirlwind week in Hollywood, filled with laughter, drama, and a touch of gardening wisdom. Cheers to the extraordinary lives of our favourite stars!
