News about Joseph Fiennes

I text David to tell him I'm so nervous about moving and marrying him that I wake at 4am every day, stomach churning. Even the dogs are still snoring. I've never been vulnerable like this with him before. I have always put on a brave face, leaving him to read about my insecurities later. But he surprises me by being incredibly supportive.

A new BBC four-part series had already been announced with James Graham returning as writer and Joseph Fiennes reprising his uncanny role playing England football manager Gareth Southgate. After accepting his Olivier for best new play at the Royal Albert Hall last night, Graham joked that he would start work on the adaption tomorrow morning - once the celebrations were over. He also said he hoped that the Football Association was listening and he can get tickets for the Euros in Germany later this year.

Joseph Fiennes cut a dapper display in a black tuxedo and bow tie as he attended the 2024 Olivier Awards with wife Maria Dolores Dieguez on Sunday. The actor, 53, arrived at London's Royal Albert Hall hand-in-hand with his glamorous wife, 42, as they posed up a storm before heading into the ceremony.

In Sky History's enthralling new three-part series Royal Kill List, King Charles II's extraordinary zeal for revenge is chronicled. It intersperses action with commentary from three storytellers - Jared Harris (Mad Men), Joseph Fiennes (pictured, right) and Sheila Atim (Harlots) - who all represent the various warring parties' viewpoints.

On Wednesday evening, the BBC's Director of Drama Lindsay Salt said the British broadcaster was going to take risks, push boundaries, and venture into the unknown.' Of the twelve dramas that have been announced, some are'safe' book adaptations, others are follow-ons of well-known shows, and one is a TV version of Gareth Southgate's beloved play. All in all, the list seems to be hardly ground-breaking, and Southgate-inspired series even sees Joseph Fiennes reprise his role as England's football manager. Blue Lights has been renewed for a second series, as well as a spin-off of the hugely popular The Split (the steamy legal drama starring Nicola Walker) and three shows based on novels. However, although it may seem that the broadcaster is simply running out of original content as it depends on adaptations for half of the latest productions, a marketing consultant has stated that there is simply more money in this strategy.

OLIVER HOLT: Last week, I returned to the West End of the old year to see Dear England at the Prince Edward Theatre. Thousands of football fans attended, young and old, and many of them were eager to see it as a special Christmas treat. It's a play that will likely last into the new year, into the summer of the European Championships in Germany and elsewhere. Dear England is about Gareth Southgate, who is attempting to change the culture around the England men's football team, to eliminate fear of failure and ridicule that gripped players when they joined the national team and, in the process, lift the team's hopes of winning their first major trophy since 1966. The play is remarkable for Joseph Fiennes' brilliant appearance as Southgate, but in other respects it delves into simplistic and patronizing footballer caricatures of footballers, as well as many of the people around them. There are just too many cheap laughs in this episode.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: This is the first time a government official was allowed to make minor updates to fit with archive footage supplied by the designers.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Iveagh, 54, tells me that the robes were last used by his great-grandparents at Elizabeth II's coronation. They were the original owners of the majority of the 461 lots under fire at The Guinness Sale in Elveden Hall, Suffolk's ancestral seat. Sworders have lowered the price of the robes by £3,000 to £5,000, which Iveagh claims has been "in storage for the past 20 years," says Iveagh. The purchase, he says, enables 'Elveden' to be more freed up. The dining room is stunning. It can be used more than [being] a storage space."

There has been a big new signing as the National Theatre company's Gareth Southgate's attempts to improve the team's fortunes as a result of the team's big West End trade. When it heads to the Prince Edward Theatre in October, I heard that Ballykissangel actor Dervla Kirwan will appear alongside Joseph Fiennes, who plays Southgate. Dr. Pippa Grange, the psychologist who helped improve the players' mental stability, will take over from Gina McKee.

According to reports, Netflix's bosses ordered a series based on the play Dear England, which has enjoyed a well-reviewed run at London's National Theatre and has been seen by 75,000 people since it opened in June. The play, written by James Graham and starring Joseph Fiennes as Southgate, tells the manager's tale from when he took over Sam Allardyce in 2016 right up to England's World Cup bid in Qatar last year. However, it does include a flashback to when he missed a penalty in Euro 96.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: People who are either visitors or hosts are divided in life. Guests love someone else arranging everything and then participating in activities planned for them, while others are dissatisfied with being on someone else's timetable or in their space. I am, by nature, a visitor. I love going to other people's parties and not knowing who will be there. Or staying in their homes and having their schedule managed by them. Despite being the best of them in several regions, I am relieved to leave the catering to someone else.

PATRICK MARMION: Gareth Southgate, the waistcoat M&S fashion icon and England boss, will not be able to attend his beatification at the National Theatre. Fair play to him, but it is most likely that this modest son of West Sussex would be more than a little uncomfortable for him to attend a near three-hour dedication to his illustrious service as coach of the national team. Particularly when he's so touchingly portrayed by Hollywood actress Joseph Fiennes. The pleasure in this play begins with 'Big Sam' Allardyce''s'resignation by mutual agreement' as the England team's boss in 2016.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: In choosing Dr Christopher Cocksworth as his next Dean of Windsor, has King Charles confirmed his opposition to the Church of England's decision to bless same-sex civil marriages? One of two bishops who refused to offer prayers and blessings to same-sex couples was Cocksworth, a "open evangelical." It was believed that his defiance of any hopes of ascension to the greasy pole of awakened Anglicanism. The King had other plans, as shown by his description.

For a new performance at the National Theatre, Joseph Fiennes appears unrecognizable as he transforms into England boss Gareth Southgate. In a new play entitled Dear England, which will be seen at the Olivier Theatre this summer, the Handmaid's Tale actor has been cast as the former midfielder, both 52. In first glance snaps, Joseph is the spitting image of the football star as the actor sports goatee and his hair slicked back.

JAN MOIR: Gareth Southgate isn't going to see Dear England, the play about him that has just opened at the National Theatre in London. 'No, I won't be going to watch it.' It wouldn't be right,' he said, which is so on-brand for the England football manager, so much Gareth as well as him. He also stated that being portrayed by actor Joseph Fiennes was "generous casting," but that the performance should not be about the team, not about him. Modest to a fault, as ever. However, the play is mainly about him - and how he turned a semi-derelict squad into a force to be reckoned with, and became England's most effective manager since Sir Alf Ramsey.

Joseph Fiennes admitted that being a part of the late Michael Jackson's portrayal was a 'wrong call' and a "wrong choice." In a 2016 episode of the British TV series Urban Myths, Michael Jackson was portrayed by Fiennes, 53, loosely based on true tales about celebrities. The trailer for that episode, which came after a post-9/11 road trip taken by Jackson, Marlon Brando (Brian Cox) and Elizabeth Taylor (Stockard Channing), was immediately controversial.

Bella de la Vega, 44, is the widow of Gael's father and Mexican director Jose Angel Garcia. She began her OnlyFans account two years ago after her late husband, who died in January 2021, aged 70. Since starting her new business venture, she said she felt like a millionaire, and that the product would range from $445 to $564 per piece, depending on the style. 'It was a big surprise for me.' 'My followers started tagging me on Instagram and OnlyFans to warn me not to sell my used thongs,' she said. 'I know there is a fetish market, but I never thought there would be such a large market eager for this.'

DEN CONFIDENTIAL: She is one of the youngest royals to have been booted away from the Coronation, ensuring that Ant & Dec and other figures from stage and film will be included in Westminster Abbey. However, Lady Amelia Windsor is much more than just dismissing any unintended remark, she has been making royal history in her own understated way. Lady Amelia, 27, the Duke and Duchess of Kent's granddaughter, has just become the first member of the Royal Family to attend jury service, as I can reveal.

While watching an orchestra perform Tchaikovsky's Fifth symphony at the LA Philharmonic on Friday, a concertgoer let out a 'full body orgasm', which sparked a lot of buzz on social media. Tchaikovsky has been dead for more than a century, but the ladies are still delighting him. That's a wild twist; he's been dead for 130 years; Tchaikovsky still delights the ladies,' one Twitter user wrote. Some social media users wondered if they should listen to more classical music while others wanted to know the identity of the mysterious woman. Several people moaned during the symphony's second march, igniting a fierce debate online over the reasons.

In a new play titled Dear England, which will be performed at the Olivier Theatre this summer, the Handmaid's Tale actor is portrayed as the former midfielder, both 52. Dear England, directed by Rupert Goold, is about the pressures of penalties and is inspired by Gareth's infamous penalty miss for England in 1996.

Forget J Lo the rom-com queen: in Netflix's "The Mother" actress Stephanie DeSilva: the "Shotgun Wedding" actress is actually turning it up as a deadly assassin. Jennifer Lopez's character comes out of retirement to shield the daughter she gave up years before — by any means appropriate. But did we mention she's also on the run from some extremely dangerous men? Lopez's character is nothing to play with in the middle of a snowy winter, according to a teaser trailer for Netflix's Tudum fan festival in September 2022. (Sheesh!) The film had "the spirit of the Luc Besson[-directed] masterpiece 'The Professional,' the 1994 film about a 12-year-old girl who wants to become a hitman after her parents are murdered by a corrupt DEA agent, according to a Deadline.
