TELEVISION MUSIC SOPHIE ON BEING WITH JOE JONAS
Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr (above) says he had never imagined himself portraying a paternal role to another Avenger. The 52-year-old actor, who as Iron Man, plays a mentor to the young Spider-Man, essayed by Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming, said Holland was the best choice to play the web-spinning superhero, reported ContactMusic.
“I never thought I’d wind being like a father figure to another Avenger but I couldn’t pick a better character or actor to do it with,” Downey Jr said on the red carpet at the world premiere of the new film. He added that despite the gap in his and Holland’s ages, he did not feel threatened in his role.
“Sometimes you figure if someone isn’t mature enough yet to portray you, you feel comfortable. That comes with age,” said Downey Jr.
Actor Sophie Turner (far right) reveals that dating singer Joe Jonas (right) is like living in a “fishbowl”. In an interview to Marie Claire UK, the Game of Thrones actor said, “It’s frustrating that it’s the most mundane things that make the news — how boring!”
The actor is “happy” with the musician but would prefer a different name for them. She and Jonas are currently called Jophie, but Turner prefers “Mophie”, the nickname for her and GOT co-star Maisie Williams.
“What’s that thing they say? Relationships come and go but friendship is always there,” said Turner, who also gets upset when people click her pictures in public without her consent. “I find it really rude, and I’ll be rude back. It’s such an invasion of privacy. I could be out with my mum on her birthday and I will ask them to delete it. They should ask for a photo,” she added.
