Dwayne Johnson was hands-on during daughter’s birth

Dwayne Johnson was hands-on when his third daughter Tiana was being delivered in April (18).
The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor announced the arrival of his third daughter Tiana Gia Johnson, the second with his longtime girlfriend Lauren Hashian, on social media at the end of April.
During an appearance on U.K. show Lorraine on Friday (25May18), the former wrestler revealed he was fully involved in the labour, and even watched his daughter being born.
“It was an incredible experience. I’ve learned that you’ve always got to be supportive, you’ve got to be right there supporting mumma, supporting her with words, I hold hands, I hold legs, I did it all,” he recalled. “The doctor had said, ‘Would you like to watch? Would you like to come down here?’ I said,
No I’m going to stay up here by the head, I’m going to stay by mumma’ and then I thought, you know what it’s my daughter and my third one, I said, ‘Honey I’ll be right back…’. Watching and being part of that process was amazing.”
Dwayne has started doing press for his new movie Skyscraper, but admitted he’s finding it hard to get a good night’s rest with the newborn.
However, the action star couldn’t be happier being a dad of three.
“Three girls, very blessed, I can’t make boys, I don’t know why, although I try,” he added. “I’ll continue to practise though, that’s the thing, practise makes a boy one day…”.
Dwayne is also father to Jasmine, two, with Lauren, and Simone, 16, from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia.
During the interview, the 46-year-old shared how filming Skyscraper, about residents of a tower block who come under attack from terrorists, really tested his fears because he isn’t a fan of heights.
Luckily, for insurance reasons, he wasn’t allowed to hang off the side of an actual skyscraper, like Tom Cruise did in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
“I wanted to. Tom Cruise, he gets to have all the fun,” he joked. “But we were high up, we built a lot of stuff to scale… there were times it got a little hairy a couple 100 feet up in the air.”

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. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
