Radcliffe: Booze helped me cope

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed how he sought comfort in alcohol, because it helped him deal with his post-Harry Potter pressures.

The 24-year-old admitted worrying about his career after the wizard film series ended in 2011 was enough to make him turn to booze, in an interview that will air on Sky Arts later this year. He previously confessed to turning up drunk on the set of the wizarding films, after a heavy session the night before.

Kristen Stewart: I Stand By Every Mistake I've Ever Made

Kristen Stewart

TESH/MARIE CLAIRE

Kristen Stewart knows that there are some things that she's not very good at – interviews, TV appearances, posing on the red carpet – but she's okay with that.

"People are like, 'She just can't handle' – for lack of a better word – 'the spotlight.' No, actually, I can't, and this is totally who I am," she admits in the March issue of Marie Claire.

"I don't try to force it or turn it into something else or fabricate this personality … so I totally agree when people say I'm, like, the most awkward person."

The 23-year-old, who got her start as a child but rocketed to fame in the Twilight films, says she "had no idea Twilight was going to be huge" – or that she would end up falling for her costar, Robert Pattinson.

"You don't know who you will fall in love with. You just don't. You don't control it," she says.

"Some people have certain things, like, 'That's what I'm going for,' and I have a subjective version of that. I don't pressure myself … If you fall in love with someone, you want to own them – but really, why would you want that? You want them to be what you love. I'm much too young to even have an answer for that question."

Stewart's relationship with Pattinson imploded in 2012 after she had a fling with Rupert Sanders, the married director of her film Snow White and the Huntsman.

While Stewart issued a public apology, and they reconciled, the couple seemingly split for good last year.

But for Stewart, who admits she lives a "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants lifestyle," there's no looking back.

"I stand by every mistake I've ever made," she says. "So judge away."

Robin Thicke Talks About Father Alan, Nudity And His Wife Playing A 'Groupie'

Robin Thicke is a man who needs no introduction, especially not in 2013. His catchy song "Blurred Lines," as well as its X-rated music video, were the talk of the town all summer. Elle sat down with Thicke for the magazine's November issue to talk about himself, his tunes, his gorgeous wife Paula Patton and the man who made it all possible -- his famous father, Alan Thicke.

"My dad was single my whole pubescent period. [Laughs] He had Ms. Alabama, Ms. Dominican Republic -- every week," Thicke tells Elle. "I was like, 'Dang, Pops.' He had an indoor Jacuzzi, and he frequented it. The first time I saw a naked woman was when I went to take a shower one morning before school. I was like, 'Who is this girl in my shower?'"

So how did Thicke Sr.'s womanizing ways shape the man Robin has become? "We were on vacation and some pretty girl walked by. I started ogling her like a 12-year-old boy, and he said, 'I know she’s pretty, but you stared at her and followed her across the room. What if there’s a prettier girl sitting two tables away? Now she’s not going to feel special. She'll say, "You look at all the girls like that." You've gotta play it cool so you don't look like you're desperate.'"

But desperate Thicke was not, since he managed to land smokin' hot actress Paula Patton and make her his wife (the two have been together since they were 14!). Thicke says they are still madly in love. "I like to take her out to a fancy, six-course meal that lasts three hours and stare into her eyes. Of course it’s a little schmaltzy. There's nothing women love more than an effort. You can even mess it up. The shoes that you bought don't have to be right. You might have gotten the wrong chocolates. But she'll know if you made an effort."

When asked if the two of them listen to his music in the bedroom, Thicke admits: "Yes. In fact, she likes to do it more than ever now. Sometimes she'll even play groupie for me."

Umm, TMI?

Lizzy Caplan Lands Role in the Interview

Lizzy Caplan has joined James Franco and Seth Rogen in upcoming comedy 'The Interview'

 Lizzy Caplan will star in 'The Interview'.

The 'Bachelorette' actress has been cast as the female lead opposite Seth Rogen and James Franco in the upcoming spy thriller spoof.

Franco plays a handsome talk show host who mistakenly gets involved in a plot to assassinate the North Korean Prime Minister along with his producer buddy (Rogen).

Deadline reports that Caplan, 31, is on board to play intelligence operative Agent Lacey in the movie, which is being directed by long-time collaborators Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

The comedy duo - who recently teamed up for 'This Is The End' - are working from a script based on their original idea cooked up with 'Daily Show' veteran Dan Sterling. Filming begins this autumn in Vancouver, Canada.

Franco, Rogen and Goldberg previously starred together in Paul Feig and Judd Apatow's cult TV series, 'Freaks & Geeks', which aired from 1999 to 2000.

Meanwhile, Rogen and Goldberg are also working on the unlikely-sounding story of an animated sausage.

The R-rated movie, called 'Sausage Party', is about a lonely banger's journey to discover the truth about his existence after falling out of a shopping trolley.

Chris Hemsworth interview: 'James Hunt's behaviour was inexcusable'

Both as Thor and in real life, Chris Hemsworth is one of Hollywood's true good guys. Which is why he loved playing fast-living 'bad boy' racer James Hunt in Ron Howard's new film, Rush. He talks to Helena de Bertodano.

The Australian actor Chris Hemsworth may play flamboyant racing driver James Hunt in the new film Rush but in real life you are more likely to find him a nervous passenger in the family SUV driven by his Spanish wife Elsa Pataky. “It has a baby seat and surfboard in the back, it’s a pretty mellow thing,” he says. “I go ‘Slow down, what’s the rush, there’s a red light.’ She says: ‘Shut up, when did you become a driving instructor?’”

Hemsworth’s assured performance as Hunt marks him out as one of Australia’s leading actors, on a par, according to Rush director Ron Howard, with Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. Best known for his role as Thor in the superhero movie Thor (2011) and Avengers Assemble (2012), in Rush Hemsworth makes a rare foray into a reality-based film. “I love the fantasy world and the movies I’ve been doing but it was nice not to be wielding some sort of weapon,” he says, referring to Thor’s magic hammer. “I was looking for something more character-driven.”

We meet in a Beverly Hills hotel, where he is promoting Rush with remarkable enthusiasm. It helps, says Hemsworth, that the reaction to the movie has been so positive. “Sometimes,” he says about press interviews, “you feel like a car salesman: ‘Trust me, you missed it, go watch it again, you’ll love it…’ Rush is special.”

He looks, of course, effortlessly handsome, wearing a blue-grey T-shirt with a pair of Ray Bans tucked over the neckline, faded G-Star jeans and scuffed blue Vans. “I’m for comfort not for style,” he says. His hair is shorter than usual and slicked back. He wears a thick silver wedding band, a beaded string bracelet and a Mont Blanc watch.

Less than a decade ago Hemsworth, who turned 30 last month, was working as a bartender in a Melbourne nightclub. Now he has manoeuvred himself onto the Hollywood A-list, his face on billboards everywhere, his net worth already $12 million. He handles his new-found fame with equanimity, keeping a low profile off screen and living a quiet life in Santa Monica with Pataky, an actress seven years older than him whom he met in 2010, and their baby daughter India Rose. “Matt Damon once said to me, ‘Just stay boring. Don’t go spilling out of a club at four in the morning and you’ll be fine.’ The paparazzi got bored with us. Because we are pretty boring.”

It couldn’t be further from the way in which Hunt chose to handle fame. The epitome of the playboy rock-star driver, Hunt drank to excess, snorted cocaine and reputedly slept with more than 5,000 women. So how did Hemsworth access the character? “Yeah,” he says, laughing and raising his eyebrows. “What I love about him, and I like to think I have, is a sort of childlike quality. There’s a cheeky little kid aspect to him. That sense of fun and adventure is something I find appealing.

"And sometimes I would love to act like he did. I’m not talking about the women,” he adds hastily. “I’m talking about how he says what he wants to say or the reaction he has to the reporter.” (He assaults a journalist who insults Niki Lauda, Hunt’s chief opponent but also his close friend, a dichotomy the movie captures well.)

'Hunt had a childlike quality': Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt in Rush

Hemsworth says that he had some wild days when he first became famous in Australia starring in the soap opera Home and Away. “I had a taste of that kind of world, the drinking and everything. No one was really watching too closely. I was able to experience all that before I got to Holly­wood. After that I kept to myself a bit more.”

Preparing for Rush was difficult. Whereas he’d previously had to bulk up for roles, particularly for Thor, he had to lose weight for this one. “I went from about 215 [lb] to 185. That was painful. I’d much rather put on weight than have to lose weight. Basically I went from lifting weights and eating lots of protein to just the opposite: running, cardio, overtraining and undereating. My wife was pregnant at the time and she reminds me that I was moodier than she was.”

Rush focuses on the dramatic 1976 Formula One season, when James Hunt and Niki Lauda battled it out for the championship title, Lauda almost dying in a horrific fireball accident at the German Grand Prix at Nürburgring, then returning as if from the dead (he had been given the last rites), to race again just six weeks later. Hunt went on to win the title, retiring only three years later and becoming a commentator. He died aged 45 in his sleep, his heart apparently weakened by the years of excess. Earlier that day he had proposed to his girlfriend of four years, Helen Dyson. “It’s tragic, really,” says the man who plays him.

Hemsworth is excellent as Hunt, perfectly capturing the spirit of the man. “He seemed to understand James Hunt’s charm,” Howard said recently. Most challenging was trying to capture his upper-class public-schoolboy voice. “That is what I was most anxious about,” says Hemsworth. “I find the American accent much easier.”

During shooting of the movie, the actor Daniel Bruhl, who plays Lauda, could turn to Lauda himself, now 64, for advice about the most minute details - such as when he would put on his racing gloves before a race. Hemsworth - who admits he did not really know who Hunt was before reading the script - did not have anyone to consult. But he says that he found it easier that way. "I consciously wanted to distance myself. I wanted to become the guy, not just mimic him. I didn't meet any of [Hunt's] family either. I read as much as I could about him and watched plenty of interviews."

He thinks that Hunt had a sort of attention deficit disorder. “There was an immense amount of talent there and if you funnel it into something it’s great but if it’s pointed in the wrong direction then it can be chaotic.”

Hunt drank himself to oblivion, took drugs and ricocheted through women. “But the thing I found interesting,” says Hemsworth, “is that his ex-girlfriends all had very positive things to say about him. Over the last couple of years I’ve met three or four women who have said ‘I used to date James’ or ‘I slept with him’. And they all said he was a very sweet guy.”

I ask if he thinks that Hunt’s behaviour was excusable. “No,” he says adamantly. “There were things he did that were absolutely inexcusable, like urinating in public. He said he was drunk and on a sleeping pill. Who knows? He was drunk at his own wedding.” Hemsworth laughs. “I was sober at mine. A little.”

Born in Melbourne, Hemsworth is the middle of three brothers (Luke and Liam are actors too – Liam starred in The Hunger Games and is engaged to Miley Cyrus). Their mother was an English teacher and their father a social-services counsellor, a job that prompted the family to spend several years in the Northern Territory in a small Aboriginal community in the Outback called Bulman. “It was four-and-a-half hours from the nearest town. My parents ran the community centre which doubled as a post office and grocery store. It was in the middle of nowhere. There were crocodiles and buffalo. I went to a school that was made up of 60 [Aboriginal] kids between the ages of five and 17, all mashed into two classrooms.”

Hemsworth didn’t feel like an outsider. “That’s the beautiful thing about kids, they don’t have the stupid set of prejudices and opinions that we are warped by as we get older. It gave me a great empathy for other people’s situations and Aboriginal culture because no one gets exposed to that. You’re not even allowed out on to certain parts of that land without permits.”

Back at high school in Melbourne, Hemsworth decided to act when his older brother Luke got a role in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. “Until then I’d had a different idea every week [about my career]. My mates from school still joke about it. One week I was going to be a professional boxer, the next a football player or surfer or lawyer or doctor… Then Luke was doing Neighbours and I thought, ‘Yeah, that would be cool, I want to be an actor.’”

His good looks and confidence won him a role, first in just one episode of Neighbours, and then as a full-time cast member, Kim Hyde, a high-school dropout and heart-throb, on Home and Away. “That was my biggest learning curve. I spent three-and-a-half years on the show. You shoot 20 scenes a day, five episodes a week, so you either sink or swim. If you can make it in that kind of environment, a movie set, where you have two or three days to do a scene and months to prepare, feels like a luxury.”

He left Home and Away in 2007 and picked up roles in Star Trek (2009), as George Kirk, and the thriller A Perfect Get­away (2009). Encouraged by good reviews he moved to Hollywood and immediately got a role in the crime thriller Ca$h (2010). It all seemed too easy.

“I got a film fairly quickly and felt like I was on a roll,” says Hemsworth today. “I would walk into auditions sounding like Crocodile Dundee, thinking, ‘This is going to be a novelty for them.’ Then I realised that there are a million other Australians here and I should just shut up.” The work dried up. “Everything stopped for nine months. I was about to go back home. I was sick of being told ‘no’. My pride was like [he makes a noise like a deflating balloon].”

But things started to take an upturn when he decided that he no longer cared. “I lost that pent-up anxiety and desperation.” By November 2010, he was being named in The Hollywood Reporter as one of a new wave of young male actors who are “pushing – or being pushed” on to the Holly­wood A-list.

'Thor overshadows everything': Hemsworth in Thor: The Dark World

Landing the role of Thor in the Marvel Studios film Thor (2011) marked his breakthrough, followed swiftly by Avengers Assemble (2012). I ask him what people say when they recognise him in the street. “Thor,” he says, slightly wearily. “It overshadows everything.” Does he ever get sick of it? “You know…” he laughs, giving me a what-can-I-say look.

“It’s great. I’m lucky. Thor has kicked off everything I’m doing and it’s been the greatest thing for me, but I am aware that I need to mix it up a bit.”

He has not yet relaxed into his new-found fame. “That sort of insecurity still flares up, the idea that it could all end tomorrow. I’m more aware than ever of the frailty of it all. There’s a million and one examples of guys who were the guy or the girl and then overnight you never hear from them again.”

For the moment, however, he seems destined to remain in pole position. He recently finished making the Thor sequel, The Dark World, and another Avengers movie is in the offing, for which Robert Downey Jr is reportedly being paid $50 million for his role as Iron Man.

“I don’t get anything like that,” says Hemsworth with mock despondence. Yes, he agrees, “we’re talking obscene amounts of money” but, he points out candidly, he does not feel it is morally wrong. “When a film like that makes $1.6 billion, then whatever the fee that Downey gets is only relative. Who [should] get the money? Someone’s got to get it.”

When we meet he is in the middle of shooting a Michael Mann movie: “I play a guy who’s in prison for a cyber crime and is offered a deal with the FBI to help track another hacker. It has a very international thriller heisty feel to it.” Next up is another Ron Howard movie, In The Heart of The Sea, in which he plays the first mate of a ship, whose encounter with an angry sperm whale was the inspiration for Moby Dick.

He has even been tipped as a possibility for the role of the masochistic sex addict Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. “I keep hearing that rumour too,” he says, adding that he hasn’t read the book. “My friend’s sister read it and was like, ‘Yuck, I can’t think of Chris like that’.”

Not that he has been officially approached to play Grey. “I think everyone’s name is in that hat,” he says with ­typical self-deprecation, adding with a laugh: “Look: if I took on that role [after James Hunt] it would begin to seem like typecasting.”

Rush is released on September 13; Thor: The Dark World is released on October 30
