Clayface
Actor Tom Rhys Harries has shared photos marking the completion of filming on the DC Studios feature “Clayface”. The first photo came on Friday but didn’t show much, today’s photo shows the actor on-set with a crew member and the word ‘Wrap’ written across the picture which began filming in September and is slated to open next September.

James Watkins (“Speak No Evil”) directs the film while Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini wrote the screenplay. The story revolves around a B-movie actor who injects himself with a substance to stay relevant, only to discover he can reshape his face and form, becoming a walking piece of clay.

People’s Sexiest Man Alive
“Wicked,” “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” “Fellow Travellers” and “Bridgerton” star Jonathan Bailey has been announced as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2025, the first openly gay man to win the honour in the magazine’s history. John Krasinski, whom Bailey worked with on an episode of “Jack Ryan,” took the honor last year.

Bailey says, “I mean, it’s a huge honour. Obviously, I’m incredibly flattered. And it’s completely absurd.” He also says: “I’m sort of thrilled that People Magazine has invited someone in to bestow this honour on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man.”
