Former Peaky Blinders’ star appears in brand new role in latest 1980s’ set drama

Former Peaky Blinders star Jordan Bolger, who played the original Isaiah Jesus in the iconic BBC drama for four seasons, is ready to transform as an actor after landing a new role in his latest 1980s’ set drama.

In This Town, the actor plays Gregory Williams, a British soldier serving in Northern Ireland. 

After returning home, his dreams come crashing down following a family tragedy.

He struggles to find solace between his loved ones and his duty.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the actor opened up about his character on the show, explaining: “I think he’s in a place that on the surface would be hell for most people, but then for him, the life he was living before isn’t really much different from this one.”

Referring to the character, who is more off on the grey side, Bolger added: “He’s complex and he’s layered and he’s not just black and white. So you can’t just go on the first thing you see [of him]. The ride we go on… it’s a ride for sure.”

However, the new role demands pork pie-style headwear, compared to Peaky Blinders’ flat caps. The actor could still be spotted, sporting stylish suits appropriate to the 80s’.

For the unversed, Jordan appeared on Peaky Blinders for the first four seasons.

However, the actor bid farewell to the show in July 2018, making an announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter.

He wrote: “Disappointingly it seems production isn’t able to work round my other commitments so as it stands I won’t be returning.”

“Peaky/Isaiah has been a big part of my life, a great experience and I’ve met some amazing people but this one is out of my control.”

Dylan O’Brien recalls cringeworthy ‘Frozen 2’ audition experience

Dylan O’Brien recently appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers, where he shared a hilarious story about his failed audition for Frozen 2.

O’Brien confessed that he didn’t have high hopes for landing the role, saying, “I didn’t go in thinking I was going to get it because I knew that I probably wasn’t going to get it.”

He didn’t disclose which character he auditioned for but acknowledged that the film required multitalented individuals who could act and sing.

“They’re looking for multitalented, multi-hyphenate people who can act and sing,” O’Brien explained. “And I didn’t check, to be honest, probably either.”

The Teen Wolf alum admitted, “I can’t sing.”

Despite this, O’Brien decided to audition because he doesn’t “always feel like a real actor.”

Meyers wondered how long it took the casting director to realize singing wasn’t O’Brien’s forte.

“This poor woman,” O’Brien replied. “I remember, actually — this is a specific detail — she asked me, painfully, if I could get to the chorus because she needed to see if I had a certain range.”

O’Brien admitted he struggled with the first verse but attempted to reach the chorus.

“I was swimming in the first verse a little bit,” he said. “And then I went higher, and it was really bad.”

O’Brien recalled the casting director’s polite but clear rejection, “She said, ‘Thank you for coming in. I think we’d probably need a bit of a stronger singer,’ and I was already just nodding, going, ‘Yeah, I know.'”

Despite the embarrassing audition, O’Brien looks back on the experience fondly.

“I honestly only remember it fondly,” he said.

Meyers quipped, “We wanted you to have closure. Don’t you see, Dylan?”

O’Brien responded, “It’s made me comfortable, actually. I’m serious!”

Prince Harry reclaims spotlight from Prince William in new outing

Prince Harry paid a heartfelt tribute to a notable figure in his new public appearance, seemingly taking the spotlight from his brother Prince William after his Scotland trip. 

For the unversed, the Duke of Sussex attended the star-studded event One805LIVE! Concert which was hosted by Kevin Costner. The program aimed to raise funds for the Santa Barbara County First Responders and also paid tribute to the police officials for saving people’s lives in need. 

The former working royal took the stage of the event and honoured the helicopter pilot Loren Courtney. 

As reported by People magazine, Harry said about the air support pilot, “As you’ve probably heard already, 22 years [of] military service over 10,000 hours and rarely sees his family because he’s always here flying helicopters.”

In response, he said, “I do this because I love doing it and I love doing it for the county of Santa Barbara. It’s a rewarding experience whenever we go out, either putting out fires or rescuing somebody in the back country or medical evacuations from vehicle accidents or doing the law patrol, keeping citizens safe.”

Notably, Harry’s appearance came after his estranged brother made the headlines due to his passion project Homewards.

Demi Moore shares how growing up has changed her perspective on parents 

Demi Moore is now able to reflect back on the problematic aspects of her childhood.

The Substance actress shared rare insights from her childhood in a heart-to-heart conversation at The Drew Barrymore Show.

Talking about her childhood, the 61-year-old actress revealed that her parents let her drive a car before she could get a license at 13.

“Driving on the freeway, I mean, my parents would say, ‘Okay, here’s the deal. You can take the car. If you get stopped, you just have to say you took the car without permission.’ And they kind of saw that is a win-win for everybody, but that is lunacy,” she told the host.

The Ghost actress and Barrymore confessed fact that they “were both more the parent to our parents.”

This is not the first time Moore has opened up about what she now sees as a disturbing childhood. 

In a previous interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she shared a glimpse of a drug overdose incident that her mother Virginia had in the actress’ childhood.

“The next thing I remember is using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow out of her mouth while my father held it open and told me what to do,” Moore recalled.

The Disclosure actress told Barrymore that she is no longer angry at her parents and can love them despite recognising their faults. 

“I accept that my parents did the best they could, and my mom did the best she could with the level of consciousness and awareness that she had at the time,” she said.
