“I have done commercial films like ‘Badlapur’, ‘Hunterrr’, ‘Manjhi – The Mountain Man’, and now ‘Padman’. There is a thin line between commercial and noncommerc­ial.

The 46-year-old actor, who appeared on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, was seen making hand gestures as the host took a commercial break.

One of the activists Nyle Dimarco took to Twitter where he posted a statement calling out Foxx’s behaviour and said what the Django Unchained star did “should not be tolerated anywhere”.

“We simply do not make fun at the expense of other cultures, especially those with a history of being marginalis­ed. “What Foxx did on ‘Fallon Tonight’ made our struggle much harder,” he wrote.

Oscar-winning actor Marlee Matlin also took to Twitter to slam the actor, writing, “Mr @iamjamiefo­xx. I’d be happy to give you sign language lessons so you could be funnier.” Matlin, who won the Academy Award for Children of a Lesser God (1987), is the only deaf artiste to have won the award. is ecstatic to marry Evan,” a source said.

LOS ANGELES: Former One Direction star Zayn Malik reportedly regrets doing a duet with singer Taylor Swift on ‘I don’t wanna live forever’. According to a source, Malik was forced into working with Swift on the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, which released earlier this year and became an instant hit, reports radaronlin­e.com. “Zayn loved the song and wanted it for himself. He was desperate to record it as a solo track and thought it would be a real career boost,” the source said. “It has all of the high notes he can reach and was perfect, but movie bosses said it has to be a collaborat­ion and wanted him to work with Taylor,” the source added. The source went on to add that Zayn “relented” because Swift is one of the biggest pop stars and happens to be a best friend of his girlfriend Gigi Hadid. “It was a surprise to everyone. It’s not as if they’re really great friends and they didn’t even appear in scenes together in the video,” the source said. Although the song was a complete success, the decision to collaborat­e with Swift on the song seemingly still haunts Zayn.
