News about Simon Pegg

He has played one of the most iconic characters ever to grace the silver screen and has 75 film and television credits to his name. His work spans from blockbuster animation franchises to raucous comedies to heavy dramatic roles as well. Most recently, he's been keeping busy on the small screen with roles in Netflix's The Crown, Paramount's 1923 and Max's Doom Patrol.

A father who built a Shaun of the Dead-inspired pub in his back garden has been crowned winner of Britain's Pub Shed of the Year. Kev Marchant, 55, spent six weeks and £10,000 building his very own Winchester, kitted out with its very own beer pumps, a stained glass ceiling, dart board and poker table.  Not only is the backyard boozer a nod to the iconic pub which appeared in the 2004 zombie film featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, it is also an ode to the city where Kev and his wife Gina, 54, grew up.

His 18-year-old daughter Suri - who he's not been seen with since she was six years old - may have recently dropped his surname, but Tom Cruise clearly remains close to his son. The star was pictured hopping into a helicopter in London with Connor, whom he and former wife Nicole Kidman adopted in 1995, two years after adopting daughter Isabella. It's thought father and son were off to Glastonbury, in a party which included Cruise's best friend, writer Chris McQuarrie, and Simon Pegg, his Mission: Impossible co-star. They were seen singing together in the VIP area before the Coldplay set on Saturday night.

The duo led the stars watching Coldplay's headline set at the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, from the swanky VIP area. The actor, 61, reunited with his co-star Simon, 54, to watch the legendary band as the pair were joined by Sex Education star Gillian Anderson, 55. In a clip shared by a fan on X, Simon and Tom could be seen standing at the barriers while the Hot Fuzz actor enthusiastically danced along to the 90s hit. The pair were spotted chatting away in pictures taken on Saturday, but the clip snapped by a fan showed them letting loose.

Glastonbury fans complained Coldplay took to the Pyramid Stage 15 minutes late as they headlined the iconic festival on Saturday night.  The legendary band kicked off their set at 10pm instead of 9:45pm as scheduled as they performed to Worthy Farm's 'biggest ever' crowd.  BBC viewers were left frustrated by the delay and took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to share their thoughts.

From Nick Frost and Simon Pegg to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, a solid bromance is often the foundation for enduring success. But it's not just celebs who benefit from a buddy, as scientists have found that bottlenose dolphins who build better social bonds go on to father more offspring. Researchers from the University of Bristol and University of Western Australia studied young male dolphins in Australia's Shark Bay over a 32-year period. They discovered that dolphins may be using play to develop the social networks and skills they need to be successful later in life.

A film crew was close by on the ground, while flying drones caught every moment of the actor's ascension.

As cast and crew members enjoyed a night out in the tiny town, Tom Cruise, 61, was photographed with the chef and boss of Lovage Restaurant in Derbyshire. The restaurant posted the picture on their Facebook page, and Benji Dunn, a British actor who plays technician Benji Dunn in the franchise, posted a portrait with cast and crew members, including Hayley Atwell outside the venue. On a day off filming for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two, the British-American Atwell, 41, who plays Grace, also went to Bamford Edge to marvel the spectacular view on a day off.

In a Hot Fuzz-style operation, an escaped sheep sat in the back of a police car after being herded out the road by officers. As he was put into the patrol car outside Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, yesterday, the deer was left a little'sheepish.'

After the sheep was spotted on the side of the A1 at Buckden, officers were called out. Concerned drivers called the police afraid that the farm animal would cause an accident.

Damien Egan, a Youtube video of Damien Egan, says the 'family run' stores and restaurants had such a'bad year' because of lockouts that kept customers away and need people's help to keep going. The mayor, who was in his late 30s, spoke in a tone that would be familiar to the thousands of people in the area - not a Cockney but recognizable as coming from the city. Which is why a campaign video he released this week shocked many people by surprise when he spoke with a broad Westcountry accent. Mr Egan is running for Labour in Kingswood, where he grew up and fully deployed the locals' long vowels in South Gloucestershire, even though he was sent to London for work.
