Daisy Edgar-Jones is said to be excited to channel her inner Kiera Knightley as she has geared up for her next role.

Kiera Knightley played the role of Elizabeth Bennet in the 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic Pride & Prejudice. The novel has had multiple renditions for the big screen over the years but the 2005 version remains a big hit.

However, since the 1995 TV adaptation with Colin Firth, the book has not been adapted for TV. Now, a Daily Mail report suggests that a new adaptation is in the works.

The new version is reportedly set to be a Netflix series, casting Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elizabeth Bennet, who is the protagonist of the book.

Dolly Alderton, who recently wrote the TV adaptation of her memoir Everything I Know About Love, is seemingly working on the script for the romance drama.

For the unversed, Daisy Edgar-Jones appeared in Normal People, the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s bestselling novel, opposite Paul Mescal. The show earned her Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. After the series’ success she has appeared in psychological thriller Fresh, crime drama Under The Banner Of Heaven, romance drama On Swift Horses, and mystery thriller Where The Crawdads Sing.

The streaming giant is yet to announce the new Pride & Prejudice TV series, but it is expected to be released by the end of next year.

Andrew Garfield never felt that The Amazing Spider-Man was his “way”, until he got the lead role.

During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Andrew Garfield reflected on his experience auditioning for the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man.

“I did the first audition and thought that’s that. I’m too old. I felt I was too told,” Garfield said. “Just generally I was like I am 25 or 26 and playing a high schooler. I know I got good genes and all but I don’t know. That’s not going my way. I was surprised to be given an opportunity to screen test.”

“Greta gave me an acting adjustment: You have to treat this screen test as if you’re making a short film with all your high school friends,” he credited his acting coach Greta Seacat for helping him nab Spider-Man.

“That allowed me to go f*ck it,” he continued. 

“Keep the channel open. Be free. This doesn’t matter. Treat this like it doesn’t f*cking matter. That’s when whatever talent you do have can just be there. You’re a child again. You’re emotionally available and you’re not tight and trying to get it right. I remember that feeling of ‘I don’t give a f*ck.’”

Prince William and Kate Middleton issued a heartfelt video message as they visited the families of victims of the tragic Southport attack.

On October 10, the royal couple shared glimpses from their first joint royal engagement after Catherine announced that she had completed her chemotherapy. 

The statement alongside the video reads, “A heartfelt thank you to the people of Southport for talking about your experiences and honouring the young lives lost.”

“In the face of tragedy, this community’s strength and resilience has been a powerful reminder of the bonds that unite us.”

“As the healing continues, take comfort in the incredible support around you. Each shared memory, act of kindness, and moment of unity brings hope for the future and ensures that those lost are never forgotten,” Kate and William concluded their heartwarming note. 

Tate McRae had encountered a near death experience this summer while jet skiing with her boyfriend, The Kid LAROI.

During a guest appearance on The Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill on October 9, McRae, 21, opened up about a close brush with a whale.

“I didn’t realise what I was getting myself into,” the Greedy songstress said of going jet skiing with LAROI, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard. “You know you have trust in your boyfriend, but jet skis are the worst. They flip over every two seconds.”

After the couple unexpectedly plunged into the water, McRae shared that she and the STAY hitmaker found themselves just “10 feet away” from a massive whale.

“I was like, ‘We nearly just landed in a whale’s mouth!'” the Run for the Hills vocalist recalled, reflecting on the eerie experience.

“The ocean is just a really freaky thing to me,” she admitted, sharing what she exactly feels under the water. “When we fell in the water, I felt this tingling at the bottom of my feet and thought, ‘We could die right now.'”

McRae and LAROI, 21, made their relationship Instagram official on her 21st birthday, July 1, 2024.
