After his performance in 2019’s “Rocketman,” Taron Egerton‘s Hollywood star is the highest it’s ever been. And Egerton’s 2022 is off to a great start with AppleTV+.

Brad Pitt turned heads when the actor opted for a skirt instead of trousers at the Berlin premiere of his forthcoming film Bullet Train. Now, the Hollywood star has shared his thought process behind the knee-length skirt. When asked by an Associated Press reporter his reasoning behind wearing the brown linen skirt, the 58-year-old actor smiled and replied: “The breeze, the breeze.

Brad Pitt is taking cool for the summer to the next level! On Tuesday, the 58-year-old actor turned heads as he made his way down the red carpet during the premiere in Germany, rocking a skirt that showed off his leg tattoos, which he paired with a pink linen shirt over top a brown linen shirt and topped off with motorcycle boots. Pitt’s look didn’t just make a statement, but according to the star it also had a purpose. When asked by an  reporter about his style, Pitt replied with a smile, «The breeze, the breeze.» The father of six certainly felt the as he posed for pictures with fans during the event and also while standing with his co-stars, Zazie Beetz, David Leitch, Kelly McCormick, Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. At the Berlin premiere of «Bullet Train,» Brad Pitt beats the heat by wearing a kilt. pic.twitter.com/qpK0AFCpsAThe women of also served up some looks.

Taron Egerton can't seem to escape the rumors. The 32-year-old actor denied more theories that he's set to play the iconic character, speaking up on SiriusXM's Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw this week. The tidbit marks over two years of speculation surrounding Egerton's potential casting — ET first spoke to him about the rumor at 2019 Comic-Con. «It's really flattering that people think that I'm the guy to do it,» Egerton said this week, «but there's no truth.» In 2019, Egerton voiced an almost identical sentiment.

Brad Pitt is making a fashion statement at the Berlin premiere of his new film “Bullet Train”.

Taron Egerton is stepping out to support his new show.

Black Bird as his “most fully realised” working relationship ever with another cast member.The actor plays Liotta’s on-screen son, James Keene, in the Apple TV+ series, based on the autobiographical novel In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, And A Dangerous Bargain For Redemption by Keene and Hillel Levin.The series marks Liotta’s final TV appearance following his death aged 67 in May. Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Egerton is “quite emotional” about recalling their time together on set.“We just clicked and we were very open and frank and candid with each other,” he said.

Paul Walter Hauser (“Richard Jewell”) is also a movie buff — so it’s no surprise that he describes his Emmy-worthy turn as “Black Bird” serial killer Larry Hall in cinematic terms — including Hall’s “Vincent D’Onofrio in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ stare.”“I’d say for my process … is that if I treated [the role] some other way it takes the humanity out of it and I’m kind of leaning into this tendency to overact,” Hauser, 35, told The Post. “So rather than be like, ‘Wow, I’m playing a serial killer so I better get ready’ … [Hall] was a human before he was a murderer, before he was a rapist, so you don’t want to play a killer like a killer.

Apple TV+.The six-episode drama, adapted from James Keene’s 2010 book, “In With The Devil,” revolves around Keene (Taron Egerton, “Rocket Man”), a charismatic, armed-to-the-teeth Chicago drug dealer and son of an ex-cop (Ray Liotta in his final role) who, in 1996, is busted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.Shortly thereafter, he’s offered a deal: transfer to a maximum-security prison in Missouri and befriend high-talking, mutton-chopped serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser, “Richard Jewell”). If he can elicit a confession from the next-level-creepy Hall, who’s suspected in the murders of at least 14 young girls, Keene’s sentence will be commuted.

It’s become running commentary that 2022 has been positively bloated with quality television, from under-the-radar gems, soon-to-be cult favorites, and the obvious highlights with endings for long-standing favorites like “Better Call Saul” and the long-awaited return of “Stranger Things.” July is about the same, with plenty of new arriving series — many adaptations from books, comics, and video games— as well as returning standouts like FX’s little mockumentary that could “What We Do in the Shadows.” July sees not one but two series that play with audience nostalgia over the ’80s.

As San Diego Comic-Con looms on the horizon, the prospect of Marvel beginning to announce the plans for their ambitious Phase 5 approaches. While many are expecting announcements on “Fantastic Four,” or “Deadpool,” many fans are still asking when we’ll hear some movement on the next iteration of “The X-Men,” and who might succeed Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Taron Egerton has revealed that he has been in talks with Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studio executives about taking on the role of Wolverine, previously brought to screen by Hugh Jackman.

Taron Egerton paid tribute to Ray Liotta during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week.

Carson Burton True crime is all the craze on the small screen. Now, “Black Bird” is looking to shake things up.The series, starring Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser, aims to play mind games with its audience, pitting a high school football star against a suspected serial killer. For Egerton, the show is more than just an interesting story of a horrendous crime, it’s a portrait of masculinity and how decisions made by men “fuck up the world.”“You can watch it and learn something about what it means to be a human being,” Egerton told Variety at the Apple TV+ show’s red carpet premiere on Wednesday.

Showing their support. Ray Liotta’s daughter Karsen Liotta and fiancée Jacy Nittolo attended the premiere of one of his most recent projects, Black Bird, to honor the late actor.

Ray Liotta’s two leading ladies attended the premiere in his honor. On Wednesday, the late actor’s fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, and his daughter, Karsen Liotta, walked the red carpet together at the premiere of the Apple TV+ series in Los Angeles.  Karsen, 23, wore a black dress with silver lining across the bottom, while Jacy sported a black jumpsuit.

Anyone who has so much as turned on a television this year can tell you there is too much true crime. The genre has reached a saturation point: the stories are becoming thinner and are being repeated in different forms until they feel threadbare.
