Emilia Clarke ditched Solo screening to watch royal wedding

The British actress portrays Qi’ra in the latest of the Star Wars anthology films, with the movie telling the story of a young Han Solo and his adventures with his Wookiee sidekick Chewbacca.

Emilia has attended a number of Solo premieres of late, but instead of attending a special screening on Saturday (19May18), she decided to watch Prince Harry wed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on TV.

“I had a screening of the Star Wars movie I’m in, for my friends and family on Saturday,” she said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday. “I sort of didn’t get my dates right, so I thought no one would turn up, then they did. So, they watched the movie and I watched the wedding.”

Emilia went on to state that she thought the white Givenchy gown Meghan wore for the nuptials was simply “gorgeous”. Though she wished there was a little more drama during the ceremony.

“I was kind of hoping for a domestic or something, (to) spice it up a bit. But nothing happened. No one even fell. It was seamless, it was just a perfect day,” the 31-year-old gushed.

During the interview, Emilia also spoke about how hard it has been to keep secrets about the Solomovie and the final season of Game of Thrones, in which she plays Daenerys Targaryen, to herself. And even though she thinks she knows how the hit programme will conclude, she can’t be sure that the producers have divulged every last detail to her yet.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
