Alan Cumming does not want to take part in 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'. The 57-year-old actor is known for his role as crisis manager Eli Gold on 'The Good Wife' and won a Tony Award for his role in the stage musical 'Cabaret' but insisted he would be hesitant to take part in the jungle-based reality show because he has usually "never heard" of any of the contestants. Asked if he would take part in 'I'm a Celebrity', he said: "When my agent tells me I've been asked to do these things, what I find hilarious is that I never know who these 'celebrities' are! And I don't think that's a good sign.
" Alan went on to explain that he has even been asked to take part in BBC ballroom dancing competition 'Strictly Come Dancing' "a few times" over the years and admits that while he understands why the Saturday night favourite has come knocking, it isjust "not his thing". I have been asked to do 'Strictly' a few times. And various other ones.
And I get why. I'm kind of famous and I'm also fun and personable and chatty - but no! It's just not my thing.

He told Metro newspaper's SixtySeconds column: "It's just not my thing. But I've just hosted the American version of a new sort of psychological reality gameshow called The Traitors. I play this sort of a camp character of myself, swathed in tartan going, 'Welcome to my castle! Claudia Winkleman does the British version, but I'm not sure she plays it so camp as me.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic As a filmmaker, Noah Baumbach has always been a dyed-in-the-wool dramatic realist, talky coastal neurotic division. He hasn’t always been as good at it as he is today; “The Squid and The Whale” (2005), the divorce drama that established his reputation and is held in supremely high regard by many cinephiles, isn’t half the movie that “Marriage Story” is. The latter film was Baumbach’s culminating achievement after 25 years as a writer-director, and it brought his strengths to a new pitch of mastery: his ability to nail the dynamics of troubled relationships in all their frayed layers, his extraordinary skill with actors, and the nimble levity of his dialogue, which emerges from the human comedy as surely it did in the great films of Woody Allen and Paul Mazursky.
