EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
A new photo from Avengers: Infinity War shows Benedict Cumberbatch being pummelled by someone who looks exactly like Nidge from Love/Hate.
Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, who played the iconic Love/Hate character is known to be good at portraying villains. Just Jared who released the photos on their website have no idea who the man in the CGI costume is.
They said “It’s not immediately clear who the actor in the CGI suit is, but he had dots all over his face, likely to create his characters look on screen.” The other photos are uncanny and can be seen here.
The movie is set to be released in 2018. There’s yet to be any inclusion or confirmation of Tom Vaughan-Lawlors role on the IMDB page for the movie, but it could be worth keeping an eye on. (Just Jared)
Andrew Garfield is getting into trouble for saying he’s a “gay man right now, just without the physical act.”
The actor is currently starring in Tony Kushner’s theater production Angels in America which tells the story about a gay man with AIDS in the USA. During a panel discussion for the play, he said that he prepared for the role by watching RuPaul’s Drag Race.
He described this as being “a gay man right now, just without the physical act”, which naturally led to some irate responses from Twitter users. Some people joked about the comment being similar to “being rich, just without the money.”
LGBTQ publication Queerty acknowledged that Garfield was “propagating misconceptions about sexual identity” but that it seemed like his heart was in the right place and he just made a silly comment. (Buzzfeed)
The Kardashian family are reportedly most concerned for Rob Kardashian’s daughter Dream after he leaked revenge porn of the child’s mother Blac Chyna earlier this week.
After everything that Rob has put them through, it appears that the Kardashian’s are still willing to remain loyal to him. This is despite the fact that his own sister has similarly been a victim of revenge porn in the same way that Blac Chyna was this week.
Sources close to the family told TMZ that the family is worried about long-term damage that Kardashian and Chyna’s ongoing feud could have on Dream. They agree that Rob crossed the line when posting the photos and are adamant that public feuding between the parents is unacceptable.
It’s not the first time that the sole Kardashian brother has publicly disrespected someone close to him. Last year he was criticised by his family for sharing memes about his relationship with them. (Bustle)
