Karan Singh Grover On Battling Depression

According to Hindustan Times, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Karan Singh Grover reflected on battling depression. He shared, “There is a reason why I want to talk about mental health. Because I have lived it, depression can be caused because of many reasons, and the roots need to be identified. It has been a difficult journey, maybe not for me but for my loved ones, because I got great help and support from them. Bipasha was there. It is something that we need to speak about.”

Karan Singh Grover’s Take On Depression

“It is something that we need to accept, and it is something that we need to let go. It is essential that everyone speaks about it. We all go through it at some level or the other, running into things, trying to make money, and all the stress that causes a lot of pressure in our minds, which is not supposed to be there. This is not life; there is a lot more to it,” Karan added.

‘Filming the Bruce Springsteen movie was incredibly difficult’

Playing Bruce Springsteen in a new biopic took a terrible toll on Jeremy Allen White.

Jeremy Allen White: ‘Filming the Bruce Springsteen movie was incredibly difficult’

The 35-year-old actor plays the legendary rocker, 76, in the movie Deliver Me From Nowhere but admitted it was difficult to be away from his daughters during filming and put himself in “painful places” to accurately portray Bruce.

He told The Sunday Times: “I feel like I’m pain for hire. Like I’m getting paid to put myself in painful places.

“On The Bear it’s not like I walk around punching walls and screaming in my closet. But I stay close to that energy and it’s uncomfortable – and filming the Bruce movie was incredibly difficult.

“I was in isolation. I was far from my children. I didn’t travel home much. It made me unwell and when I came out of it I thought, ‘There has to be a better way’.”

Jeremy – who has won rave reviews for his work as troubled chef Carmy Berzatto on TV series The Bear – shares daughters Ezer, seven, and Dolores, four, with ex-wife Addison Timlin.

Meanwhile, Jeremy previously admitted preparing to portray Bruce took months of “tough” work.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, he said: “There was a lot of prep. It was tough. I am such an admirer of Bruce, so it took a long time to accept I could do it.

“It was daunting and I had scary days, but I trained six times a week for six months so I could sound a bit like Bruce. The rasp came naturally after singing the songs over and over and over again.”

However, Bruce revealed Jeremy was always his first choice to play him on screen as he is a big fan of The Bear.

He said: “I’d seen him in The Bear and saw how the camera read his internal psychology. His performance is very, very real and authentic. He was my first choice, and fortunately, he took the job.”

House of the Dragon star calls out women being labelled “difficult”

Olivia Cooke, star of House of the Dragon and new Prime Video series The Girlfriend, has spoken about the use of intimacy coordinators in the film and TV industry, and how women are still labelled “difficult” for raising issues.

Speaking with The i Paper, Cooke gave a shout-out to the intimacy coordinators on The Girlfriend, before adding: “It’s amazing to me that people had to just fudge their way through those scenes before those people existed.”

Cooke said that sex scenes put actors in “really precarious and vulnerable situations”, and that the inevitable embarrassment is amplified for “those who are just starting out and don’t have the vocabulary to say what they’re not comfortable with”.

“And for women, who’ll often get labelled ‘difficult’ or ‘a b***h’ for speaking up,” she continued.

Cooke added that good intimacy coordinators will “sense hesitation and become your voice”, and that while she believes “showing intimacy, passion is an integral part of reflecting the human experience”, it can be done without actors left feeling like “a chunk of yourself has been taken”.

In The Girlfriend, Cooke plays Cherry, the titular girlfriend of Laurie Davidson’s Daniel. When Daniel’s mother, played by Robin Wright, finds herself suspicious of Cherry, the two end up in a power struggle to have the greatest influence over Daniel.

Cooke is perhaps best-known for playing Alicent on House of the Dragon, but she has also had major roles in films such as Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and Ready Player One, as well as series including Bates Motel, Vanity Fair and Slow Horses.
