Chase Stokes didn’t earn his role in Outer Banks easily, he had to endure fair share of stress from his audition to get the role of John B. Routledge.

In a recent episode of Podcrushed, the actor opened up about his audition experience, revealing that he felt jittery knowing he would be auditioning in front of the same executives with whom he had previously “absolutely effed up” his audition for Stranger Things.

Stokes, 32, recalled that his first audition for Outer Banks went smoothly, and he was invited back the next day to meet with the executives.

“I show up the next day,” he shared, “and Jonas Pate, the creator and director of our show, walks in and says, ‘Hey, surprise!’ I was like, ‘What?’ he explained, ‘Surprise, they’re all here in the conference room. I didn’t want you to over-prepare because that might get you too in your head.'”

Feeling already rattled, Stokes entered the room and spotted the executives from Stranger Things, “I thought, Oh, I’m so screwed. There’s nothing about this that’s going to go well,” he recalled.

To clear his mind, he stepped outside and sat by the curb, sobbing. However, with his eye for talent, Pate encouraged him to return and give it his all.

The first five episodes of the fourth season of Outer Banks premiered on Netflix on October 10.

The upcoming Peaky Blinders film for Netflix will now also star Stephen Graham along with Cillian Murphy.

Stephan, who played the famous Hayden Stagg in the sixth season of the popular show, shared the exciting news himself while chatting with Deadline at Blitz premiere.

When asked to give updates about his upcoming project, the actor replied saying: “Peaky Blinders… yeah a little bit of Peaky Blinders.”

The Boiling Point actor is once again gearing up to join his fellow actor Cillian but this time for a Peaky Blinders movie.

Steven Knight, who previously wrote the screenplay for the periodic crime drama, will be writing the script of the movie, with Tom Harper being the director once again.

The first look of the forthcoming Netflix movie was released last month showcasing Murphy taking back the role of Tommy Shelby again.

While expressing his gratitude over reuniting with Tom and Steven, the Oppenheimer actor stated: “It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders.”

Besides Murphy and Graham, the Netflix movie will be bringing some new additions to the cast like Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan and Tim Roth.

Peaky Blinders movie was confirmed last year in June. The shoot of the film has already begun. 

Selena Gomez proved she’s a “Swelce” at heart by giving a subtle nod to her bestie Taylor Swift and Swift’s NFL superstar boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the latest episode of her Hulu show Only Murders in the Building.

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Gomez, 32, and her co-star Martin Short, 74, are seen sitting on a couch surrounded by dolls in a scene at the home of Melissa McCarthy’s character.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a life-size doll next to Gomez that looked eerily like Swift, sporting her golden tresses, signature red lipstick, and a jersey featuring Kelce’s unmistakable number, 87.

Gomez has been trying to get the multi-Grammy-winner to make an actual cameo in the series for a while.

Speaking to E! News back in August 2024, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum explained Swift, 34, was “too busy” for a guest role but would call “every day” asking for one.

Swift and Gomez’s friendship dates back to 2008 when they dated Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas respectively.

Their friendship has only grown over the years, and while Gomez hasn’t joined her BFF at any Kansas City Chiefs games, she did meet Kelce’s mom, Donna, during a recent Glamour cover shoot.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs tight end previously double-tapped an Instagram photo of Gomez and her beau, Benny Blanco, at a Lakers game in January. 

Scarlett Johansson recently unveiled her ‘biggest beauty regret’ and asked everyone to avoid it if you can.

While recalling the terrible moment of her life, Scarlett revealed that she used the cortisone injection to treat a pimple which gave her a side effect. However, her make up artist warned her before she was jabbing one in her.

In conversation with E! News, she warned fans: “Never get a cortisone shot to get rid of a pimple. I was warned by a make-up artist about this years ago.”

While talking about her makeup artist, the Lucy actress said: “She told me about an actress who had a big scene coming up but had a pimple she needed to get rid of. So, she went to the dermatologist to get a cortisone shot to get rid of it and it left a huge crater.”

“Stupidly, I didn’t follow this advice and a year later got it done myself – and I can confirm it does leave a hole”, the 39-year-old actress added in a regretful manner.

She continued saying: “So, avoid it if you can. I’ve managed to massage it away over time but it’s probably one of my biggest beauty regrets.”

The Black Widow actress Scarlett Johanson shared her own skincare routine and also advised her fans and followers to develop one for yourselves too.
