The erotic thriller Knock Knock, released in 2015, was de Armas’ first Hollywood film. De Armas, born and raised in Cuba, had just come to Los Angeles after acting in Spain.

In the post-streaming age, it’s rare for actors to bring in quite the same mammoth salaries – at least compared to the glory days when audiences were drawn to a film primarily based on its leading star. Years ago, if a certain actor’s name was attached to a film, it almost guaranteed success. In the 90s, Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey were paid massive salaries simply because they attracted a crowd.

It seems like just yesterday that she was the apple of her parents’ eye, held close in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ loving arms as the world’s most famous baby. However, as we all know, Suri’s childhood was marked by a constant roller coaster of media attention, with the tabloids and the public obsessively tracking her famous parents’ every move and making her the object of fascination too as a little toddler.

But elegant wasn’t entirely the hallmark of the evening. This year, The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute fundraising ball followed the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” – a choice not without controversy, as the former creative director of Chanel is arguably just as famous for his cutting comments as his sartorial... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3219132/met-gala-celebrates-karl-lagerfeld-26-must-see-red-carpet-looks-fashions-biggest-night-rihanna-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3219132/met-gala-celebrates-karl-lagerfeld-26-must-see-red-carpet-looks-fashions-biggest-night-rihanna-and?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 02 May 2023 08:47:58 +0000 The coronation of Charles III and his wife Camilla as king and queen consort on May 6 will draw the attention of millions of people.

In fact, its price growth has outperformed both the stock market and gold, and shows no sign of slowing down. And it’s not just Chanel – other designer bags, jewellery and watches are all growing in price as time goes by. So should we invest in luxury bags? Not necessarily, according to the experts. “In most cases,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3218434/are-luxury-bags-really-good-investment-7-expert-tips-buying-legacy-brands-dior-chanel-and-hermes?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3218434/are-luxury-bags-really-good-investment-7-expert-tips-buying-legacy-brands-dior-chanel-and-hermes?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 26 Apr 2023 09:49:33 +0000 Beauty routines have become the norm regardless of gender in this day and age, leading to an increase in Hollywood icons starting their own skincare lines. While plenty of female celebs have launched their own brands over the years, from Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty to Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty and Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, male A-listers are also getting in on the hype and introducing their own collections.

His role catapults the city back into the international spotlight and is no doubt a significant moment for the Cantonese language, too. It has been many years since I last heard an entire cinema audience burst out in spontaneous laughter but when Yen uttered one particular profanity, and Keanu Reeves – who plays the titular role – copied it in his well-known... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3215366/after-john-wick-chapter-4-donnie-yen-should-be-made-global-ambassador-hong-kong-lead-surge-citys?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3215366/after-john-wick-chapter-4-donnie-yen-should-be-made-global-ambassador-hong-kong-lead-surge-citys?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 01 Apr 2023 00:15:10 +0000 3.5/5 stars Keanu Reeves’ seemingly indestructible killer John Wick is back for an epic fourth outing, as he continues his one-man scrap with the High Table, the all-powerful legion of assassins that excommunicated him.

So it’s no wonder that scientists in Germany named a group of new fungus-killing compounds after him: keanumycins. Scientists hope it can kill fungus known to threaten crops and treat fungal infections in humans. “The lipopeptides kill so efficiently that we named them after Keanu Reeves because he, too, is extremely deadly in his roles,” Sebastian Götze, the lead author of the study on the killer, said in a... https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3212864/what-do-keanu-reeves-and-new-fungus-killer-have-common-theyre-both-deadly?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3212864/what-do-keanu-reeves-and-new-fungus-killer-have-common-theyre-both-deadly?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 08 Mar 2023 16:16:45 +0000 A classic of science-fiction cinema, The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowskis and starring Keanu Reeves, tells the story of a man living in a near-future society who discovers that the world he knows is a simulation created by machines to harvest humans for energy.

Set around MK Ent., a covert organisation with strict rules (such as not murdering children), the film offers a series of betrayals and bloodbaths that will feel all too familiar to anyone who has seen Keanu Reeves’ killer in action. Still, Kill Boksoon is written and directed by Byun Sung-hyun (The Beat Goes... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-movies/article/3210693/berlin-2023-kill-boksoon-movie-review-jeon-do-yeon-plays-assassin-korean-action-thriller-straight?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-movies/article/3210693/berlin-2023-kill-boksoon-movie-review-jeon-do-yeon-plays-assassin-korean-action-thriller-straight?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 18 Feb 2023 20:30:16 +0000 Barring the occasional breakout, Hollywood was for decades closed to actors from Hong Kong and mainland China. Even Chinese-American actors were marginalised. That has changed in the past few years. After the success of films like The Farewell and 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, as well as Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the entertainment industry is starting to open its doors to them. For example, March will see the release of John Wick 4, in which Hong Kong action... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3204571/li-jun-li-lewis-tan-and-stephanie-hsu-8-breakout-hollywood-stars-hong-kong-or-china-connections-who?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3204571/li-jun-li-lewis-tan-and-stephanie-hsu-8-breakout-hollywood-stars-hong-kong-or-china-connections-who?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 28 Dec 2022 23:15:10 +0000 The lingering impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been felt in all quarters this year, not least in Hollywood, where there has been a notable lack of blockbuster spectacle on offer to film-goers – Top Gun: Maverick notwithstanding.

Since Musk’s US$44 billion deal to buy the social media platform closed at the end of October, some public figures have expressed concern over what the billionaire would do with the platform. Screenwriter, producer and showrunner Shonda Rhimes helped kick off the trend at the end of October, tweeting: “Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned.

Five years ago, the streaming service didn’t even really have one. But things move quickly in the competitive streaming world, especially when starting from scratch. Now, with a robust library of proprietary and commercially minded films and characters, Netflix is leaning into another important pillar of the movie business: sequels.

It’s been 29 years since his tragic death, but many fans still remember him today for his natural talents and rebellious charm. Phoenix acted in some of the most iconic films in the 1980s and got a cult following for his views on fame, shunning the spotlight, being vegetarian and connecting with an audience.
