They are one of the most famous acting couples in the world, but Rachel Weisz says she and Daniel Craig don’t practice their work together. Weisz has said she has attempted to rehearse for parts with her former Bond star husband in the past, but doesn’t any more. “I tried but we do it separately,” she said.
Instead, Weisz uses an app called LineLearner, which helps with practicing scenes. It came in useful when playing twins in the Amazon series Dead Ringers recently.
In an interview with American podcast WTF, Weisz, who now lives in New York with Craig, also spoke about her youth in London, listening to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. “I was definitely not conservative,” she said.
Vine teases about her switch to the screen
Sarah Vine, journalist and ex-wife of Michael Gove, is writing a film script. Vine wrote in the Spectator that she’s “cooking up a small project” with screenwriter Sean Macaulay, who also has a political links, as brother-in-law of ex-PM Gordon Brown.
Vine has been at the centre of recent Westminster drama. She and Gove were close with David and Samantha Cameron before falling out over Brexit. She told her husband to “be your stubborn best” when he stood for PM and upset Boris Johnson’s first bid for No 10. We asked what the script was about but were told to wait and see. But could Michael Gove: The Movie hit cinemas soon?
Cave joins the Unherd monarchy party
Nick Cave’s move from rock rebel to the mainstream continues. The Australian upset some of his fans by going to the Coronation — he said he is “not a monarchist” but liked the ceremony and all it’s “weirdnes”. But we also spotted him toasting both the King and Queen at a Coronation party hosted by Unherd, the Right-leaning website, last week, alongside Tory MPs. Despite it all, he was still too cool for the Coronation concert.
Fox unveils Bridgen as first Reclaim MP
Actor turned unloved politician Laurence Fox unveiled his Reclaim Party’s first MP, Andrew Bridgen, at a press conference today, as we predicted in January. Bridgen lost the Tory whip for sharing misinformation about the Covid vaccine, comparing it to the Holocaust. Bridgen claimed around six Tory MPs share his interests. They were noticably absent. Was that yet more misinfo?

Sugababe Keisha Buchanan and presenter AJ Odudu dressed up for an Across The Table dinner celebrating London’s African-Caribbean diaspora last night at Stork in Mayfair.
