Anyone who has seen "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" — and going by the film's impressive box-office numbers, that oughta be most of you out there — knows that Dan Stevens is an absolute delight in it. To be fair, this isn't a huge surprise, as anyone who's been following Stevens' on-screen career knows that the actor is routinely a highlight of everything he appears in, whether he's the lead in something like FX's "Legion" and "GxK" director Adam Wingard's "The Guest" or (and sometimes especially) when he's appearing as a supporting character in films like "Colossal" or this month's "Abigail."
His role of Trapper in "GxK" seems particularly special, however, given that Stevens isn't merely playing a comic relief character. Instead, he's some unique combination of a wonder-filled adventurer, an animal-loving veterinarian, and a laid-back hippie dude. That's just one way of describing Trapper, however — Stevens himself has...

TV personality Bear Grylls shared a heartfelt family photograph on Instagram to commemorate son Marmaduke‘s 18th birthday. The image features Grylls, Marmaduke, and his wife, Shara Cannings Knight, and it has sparked surprise across the internet due to Marmaduke’s enormous height.
On April 6, Grylls posted two family photos with the caption, “18 today! We love you so much, Marmaduke… keep shining bright!”
While numerous well-wishers extended birthday greetings, the attention focused mainly on Marmaduke’s towering stature. One comment humorously quipped, “Bear Junior is turning out to be a Grizzly.” Another playful remark read, “You must look up to him a lot,” while a third individual shared, “Bear Grylls looks like he is the son.”
Born on June 7, 1974, Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls, a former Sas trooper, has honed his survival expert, adventurer and television presenter skills. Grylls initially captured the public’s attention when he set multiple world records in unforgiving environments.

Mark Wahlberg is back with “Arthur the King.” And the typical Wahlberg experience has been suitably augmented by a very sweet ingredient: the addition of an adorable dog (the titular Arthur). Put your paws together everyone.
Based on the best-selling memoir “Arthur – The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home” by Mikael Lindnord, it details a group of mountain climbers who, on a competition, meet the little dog, who ends up being a key member of the team. Wahlberg plays a character based on Lindnord, the elite Swedish athlete who gave meatballs to a starving stray dog that ended up changing his life. (Lindnord ended up writing another book about how rescue dogs save our lives.)
Action, adventure, a very cute dog. What more could you want? Exactly. Here’s how to watch “Arthur the King” right now and where to expect it on streaming.

Netflix has pulled the curtain back on a slate of UK unscripted originals, including reality competition series Bear Hunt, starring Bear Grylls and Holly Willoughby.
Announced at the Next on Netflix showcase in London, Bear Hunt (working title) will feature survival expert Grylls preying on an unlikely group of British celebrities in the Central American jungle.
Here’s the logline: “Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all – even the celebs – but how strong is their will to survive?

Wahlberg has dabbled in various genres and has shown his versatility as an actor.

Mark Wahlberg is not just a Hollywood superstar; he is a real-life hero. We know how dedicated he is to his profession and, of course, fitness. Not only that but despite sustaining an unbearably painful injury, he is a kind colleague who saved hundreds of jobs for the cast and crew of his upcoming flick.
With Simon Cellan Jones directing, the 52-year-old actor is gearing up for Arthur the King, his next adventure movie. During filming a particularly difficult scene, Wahlberg—who is renowned for his solid work ethic and dedication to his roles—suffered a serious injury. Most actors would have called it quits, but not the Boogie Nights actor.
Indeed, he could not bear to think of disappointing his crew or the other cast members, so he endured the unbearable pain in order to see the project through to the end.

In an interview with The Times of London, Clarkson said it was becoming increasingly difficult to conjure up outlandish adventures for the show and that the presenters were all showing their age.
Clarkson, who is 63, said: “I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.”
He added that The Grand Tour missions are “immensely physical” and had become increasingly difficult when “you’re unfit and fat and old.” “If you’re Bear Grylls you go to a hotel — there...

As Selena Gomez once said, everything is not what it seems. On Oct. 5, Meta unveiled Billie, an AI chatbot created using Kendall Jenner's likeness. Outwardly, the bot resembles the model to a T, down to her mannerisms, tone of voice, and blinking patterns. "Chatting with me is like having an older sister you can talk to, but who can't steal your clothes," Billie captioned its debut Instagram post. The chatbot is the first in a line of 28 new AI assistants modeled after celebrities, and as one Instagram commenter succinctly put it, "that's freaky as hell."
To be fair, artificial intelligence has proven useful in gathering information and analyzing data at a faster pace in myriad industries around the world, including healthcare, cybersecurity, financial services, insurance, the beauty industry, and business enterprises. Still, this most recent development could give "Black Mirror," "Severance," and even "The Matrix" a run for their money.

Bradley Cooper recently went deep into the icy canyons of the Wyoming Basin, where he opened up about his sobriety with Bear Grylls.
On a Season 2 episode of National Geographic’s “Running Wild With Bear Grylls,” the British adventurer asked Cooper about his most meaningful roles.
“‘The Hangover’ was pretty career changing,” Cooper said. “I was 36 when that happened, so I was already in the game for 10 years just banging around, so I didn’t get lost in fame.”
“But you definitely had some wild years,” Grylls said, to which Cooper responded: “In terms of alcohol and drugs, yeah. But that had nothing to do with fame, though.”
“I was lucky,” Cooper continued. “I got sober at 29 years old, and I’ve been sober for 19 years. I’ve been very lucky.”

Have you ever been so frustrated by a romantic comedy that you wanted to choose who the main character ends up with yourself? Now you can with the Netflix interactive film “Choose Love,” the trailer for which was released on Tuesday.
The story introduces Laura Marano as Cami Conway, who seems pretty satisfied with her life and boyfriend Paul (Scott Michael Foster) until she goes to see a tarot reader who points out that her life might be missing something. She doesn’t exactly love her sound-mixing job, but the rest is manageable.
The fun begins when she stumbles upon multiple life choices that could lead her in a different direction. She bumps into childhood beau Jack Menna (Jordi Webber) one day after he hadn’t crossed her mind in many years, and shortly after that — if the choice is made where she doesn’t kiss him when they catch...

When better to go deep than while testing your survival skills in the wild? That’s what happens with Benedict Cumberbatch in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the July 16 episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge. Host Bear Grylls brings up the fact that Cumberbatch often plays outsiders (such as in The Imitation Game and Doctor Strange). “Is there something that you love about that?” he asks. “I think outsiders tend to have, I don’t know, just a slightly more offbeat, interesting thing to explore, but maybe it’s because I felt that myself a little bit as an only child, not really knowing how to fit in early on I found socializing quite tricky,” Cumberbatch admits. Grylls then asks about the values the actor is trying to raise his three boys with, and Cumberbatch says, “Be kind and respectful. Those are the key, core...

Filled with gratitude — “I’m super lucky to be alive.

As you get older, is it harder to push yourself on these adventures? Bear Grylls: Yes — but hard isn’t bad. Hard is a challenge. We’ve always got to try to rise up to meet that. I do a lot more stretching now, but in many ways I’m fitter than I have been for years. (Credit: National Geographic for Disney/Ben Simms) You’ve...

More star power is being added to the upcoming concert following the coronation of King Charles III.
Previous reports indicated that a bevy of big-name British musical acts — including Adele, Harry Styles, Sir Elton John, the Spice Girls and Ed Sheeran — turned down the opportunity to perform at the Coronation Concert. As a result, the show will feature a roster of decidedly non-British acts, including Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Andrea Bocelli.
Now, more information is emerging about the concert, with Variety reporting that Tom Cruise, Winnie the Pooh, Nicole Scherzinger and others will also be part of the festivities.

Los Angeles – “I Survived Bear Grylls,” TBS’ new competition series that bridges the survival and game show genres, premieres on Thursday, May 18 at 9:00pm Et/Pt. Hosted by celebrated survivalist Bear Grylls and comedian Jordan Conley, this series features eight stand-alone episodes, each with new players who face specially designed games taking Bear’s most legendary adventures up a notch.
