Bradley Cooper is at Glastonbury – and arrived there by helicopter!

The Hollywood actor was said to be over-the-moon to be at the festival, taking selfies with fans and dancing for hours, after flying in with Lars Ulrich from heavy metal band Metallica. 

The actor told reporters he wants to see Jack White and Lane Del Ray perform at the festival.

And that’s not all! According to Radio 1 DJ Gemma Cairney, Bradley is walking around in an actual A-Team backpack, having starred in a remake of the movie a couple of years ago.

What’s he going to get up to next we wonder?!

Game of Thrones hunk Kit Harington didn’t know his real name until he was 11 years old.

Yep, true story!

When the actor – whose real first name is Christopher – was asked why his parents didn’t tell him he wasn’t actually called Kit – he was stumped.

“I haven’t got a clue! I think they could see that I wanted to be Kit, but Christopher was a bit of a tradition. My brother’s name is Jack, but his real name is John. Kit is traditionally an offshoot of Christopher, it’s just not used that often. My middle name is Catesby,” he said.

He went on, “It’s cool, isn’t it? It’s also my brother’s middle name. Jake Catesby and Kit Catesby. It’s my mom’s maiden name, actually.”

He added that he thought of using Kit Catesby as a stage name but decided against it.

“I nearly did, but I thought it sounded too much like a 1950s talk-show host. I was close, actually! Sometimes I think, that would have been a cool name, but Kit Harington works,” he said.

We have to agree there!

We’re not actually sure whether to be mildly offended by this or not…

Actor, Josh Hartnett has been spending a lot of time in Dublin recently filming gothic TV series, Penny Dreadful.

In a recent interview, the actor compared the city of Dublin to Las Vegas saying it can, “eat you whole.”

Josh then went on to say that unfortunately, he never got the chance to enjoy any crazy nights in the city because of his work schedule: “Dublin is like Las Vegas. It can eat you whole if you spend too much time going out. We had a job to do so we weren’t able to partake in too many nights out.”

Come on a night out with us, Josh, we promise we won’t eat you whole…

Daniel Radcliffe says most romantic comedies are “lame”.

The 24-year-old Harry Potter star is stepping outside of his comfort zone by taking on the lead in romantic comedy What If.

He plays medical school drop-out Wallace, who has been unlucky in love until he meets the stunning Chantry.

The problem is, she already has a boyfriend, but they soon start to wonder if they could be more than just friends!

Daniel didn’t see Wallace as a kindred spirit, until he realised they share one annoying quirk.

“On the second page of the script, he corrects somebody’s pronunciation of a word, and I thought, ‘Oh God, I’m this a**hole,'” he said. “I’ve gotten better, but it’s like I’ve got some version of grammatical Tourette’s. I can’t hear someone make a mistake without wanting to correct them.”

The actor calls What If  his “first foray into the 21st century” and says he prepared by watching his favourite romantic comedy, 1981’s Arthur.

“It’s really, really funny,” he said of the Dudley Moore classic. “In so many romantic comedies the humour is kind of lame.”

Maybe don’t tell your director that Daniel!

Viggo Mortensen doesn’t think anyone could have predicted what a hit the Lord of the Rings trilogy would be.

The 55-year-old played Aragorn in the hugely successful franchise, directed by Peter Jackson.

Despite its massive popularity, Viggo says things didn’t always look good for the fantasy films.

“Anybody who says they knew it was going to be the success it was, I don’t think it’s really true,” he said. “They didn’t have an inkling until they showed 20 minutes in Cannes, in May of 2001. They were in a lot of trouble, and Peter had spent a lot.”

“Officially, he could say that he was finished in December 2000 – he’d shot all three films in the trilogy – but really the second and third ones were a mess.

“It was very sloppy – it just wasn’t done at all. It needed massive reshoots, which we did, year after year. But he would have never been given the extra money to do those if the first one hadn’t been a huge success. The second and third ones would have been straight to video,” the actor added.

Wow!

Matthew McConaughey can’t wait to sink his teeth into roles that ‘turn him on’ following his Oscar win.

The 44-year-old actor won an Academy Award for his role in Dallas Buyers Club earlier this year and ever since, the offers have been pouring in!

When asked what had changed since winning his Oscar, he said, ”People respond ‘yes’ to RSVPs more often and more quickly.”

The actor added, ”What has really changed is that I am getting more scripts, I’ve got more choices which is great coming off of that. If anything it’s giving me more opportunities, more things to choose from, which I’m embracing.

”And in the middle of getting much more I can more easily now personally ask myself ‘what do I want to do that turns me on? What experience am I going to get out of it?’ So yeah I am getting a lot of things.”
