News about Charles Martinet

After voice actor Charles Martinet's retirement, rumors are swirling that Chris Pratt will take over as Super Mario's voice permanently. On Monday, Nintendo of America revealed that the 67-year-old actor, who has played the animated plumbing brothers, Mario and Luigi in the game series since 1991, would be'stepping back'.

The new film, before "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," defused theaters this April, due to the main character's voice. Although fans are used to the character's Italian accent in the video game, Pratt did not use one for the film. Many people wondered why Charles Martinet, the professional voice actor who plays Mario and his brother Luigi (Charlie Day in the movie), wasn't tapped to speak on screen as well. Here's a look at Pratt's accent in the film, as well as one way the film mocks the accent drama with Martinet's assistance.

AJ McLean and his partner Rochelle Deanna McLean declared this week that they had temporarily separated in order to'work on ourselves and on our marriage, with the hopes that they could reconcile in the future. The Backstreet Boys actor accompanied the two children's - Ava, 10, and Lyric, six, to The Super Mario Bros. film premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday, just five days later, showing a great deal to his family. McLean was seen wearing his wedding ring while taking the rounds and posing for photographs on the red carpet, which could also indicate his dedication to making the marriage work.
